Bought these for my husband for when he goes hunting. Not only are you able to use the cradle to charge them, you can even charge them in your vehicle with the USB plug that comes with them. You can silence the beeps and the range on these is great.

I bought this for my 8 year old nephew and he is crazy about it. It does several things including bird calls! Camouflage finish is also really cool.

We odered these while building our home. They have been very useful. We also use them while we are out 4-wheeling. We live in the mountains of Virginia and the range is excellent!!

Good radio. Clear, good distance coverage although not as far as advertised. Easy to use. My wife and I used the pair on a two vehicle cross country trip. Much much easier than trying to call each other on a cell phone

It does not even have a 5 mile radius, I tested it few times and it does not work. I needed something for longer range.

I got these at the request of my wife so we could speak from opposite ends of the house and baby monitoring. I find the manual it comes with has text like most ... too small to read and the device has so many options that there's somewhat of a learning curve to go through before you can actually use them legally (you need to get off of the first 8 channels unless you have a license). Beyond that, the sound is clear, the VOX seems to work well if you remember that only one way communications are allowed at a time and the TV can affect the sensitivity. I have yet to use these outside, but they should come in handy for trips to the lake.

Great little radios. Love all the channels and weather bands. but there is no way these radios will transmit 36 miles, even on flat, clear land and with perfect weather conditions. At most you might get 4 to 5 miles out of them.

The fist set of radio's I got did not work and had to send them back. The secon set works good. They need to do a better job of quality control.

Good value for the money. Units work as described. They have a good range and some very handy functions that I didn't realize.

I can't speak for the range on these... so minus one star. I don't want to mislead anyone. However, I have tested them and they come with all the accessories and they seem to work quite well. Spend time reading the manuals so you are comfortable using these and understand all the in's and out's of this radio.

This appears to be a high quality device. But is nearly useless as it cannot communicate with other brand 2 way radios. BEWARE. If you want to communicate with other brand 2way radios, you are out of luck.

I bought the Midland GXT1000VP4 radios from Amazon with high hopes that these would be a significant improvement over my older, but very good GXT-400 series radios from the same company purchased about 5 years ago. To my surprise, the range - at least on the FRS channels - is very close. I got around 1/2 to 5/8 mile reliable talking distance on the 1/2 watt FRS frequencies in a Pacific Northwest urban enviroment with thick trees, houses, buildings, etc. I didn't even bother to test the higher power/longer range GMRS channels on this unit, because of other problems mentioned below. From what I've read, the higher-powered channels will approximately double the range figures, which is respectable.
But my real problem with these radios is their design. The PTT button on this model is not good. I understand they added a significant amount of weatherproofing, which makes it more difficult to push. It does not have a distinctive click on/off like my older GXT-400's and more pressure is required to hold it in. This makes it uncomfortable to use and difficult to know if the button is fully engaged or if the radio is transmitting. And the situation is made worse if you use gloves. The button feels more like pushing your finger into a thick piece of dense rubber rather than pushing a button. My other issue - not really a deal breaker - is that the menu system is not intuitive. The modes are not clearly labled and using several of the radio's features requires even a tech-oriented person like myself to carefully study the manual. Playing around with it for some time, I couldn't even figure out how to use the weather radio portion.
To be fair, these do feel fairly rugged, the antenna is a good length, the backlit screen is bright and clear, and the other buttons and knobs are pretty good. It is a good size and easy to hold. I also like the fact that it uses 4 standard AA batteries rather than a proprietary battery pack like those from Cobra. But the PTT button problem I mentioned really ruined the experience for me.
AS AN ALTERNATIVE: the Midland GXT760 & GXT795 are essentially the same radio but without the extra weatherproofing and have much better PTT buttons. So if you don't mind learning the menus, these models are overall probably the best consumer FRS/GMRS radios on the market for range and build quality. However, if you already own an older pair of 4 or 5 watt Midland GMRS radios, you may not find any of these a significant upgrade.

I was very disappointed. From my experience, this radio couldn't even work at five miles. It did work perfectly at two miles or less. I ended up returning the item in the end.

I use these between RV's in a park. Works great! One of the radio batteries only last about 24hrs before needing a charge. The 2nd radio will last almost 2 days without a charge? They work, I'm happy, that's all that matters!

I bought these in hope that they would be halfway decent, they were NOT! Batteries would not hold a charge for very long and I followed the manufactures instructions for initial charging. One of the handsets would only transmit sometimes which was annoying! I am returning this product and would not recommend to anyone. Not impressed, Midland!

Recieved in timely manner as ussual. Radios have a hefty feel and assembled quickly with no problem. I have not used the radios very much as of yet but got them for hunting with my son in heavily wooded river swamp. The only morning we have used them so far for about 4 hours, still had a full charge and while my son was in his ground blind stand he saw a hog and two deer and a turkey. I had both radios set on " whisper " mode and squelch set to about 1 bar ( very low ). As we were sitting about 100 yards or so apart, I heard the radio key up and thought he was calling which he wasn't, it was some one bleeding over or something causing the squelch to key up. This was not the radios fault but mine due to having it set to low ( which I will adjust ). We travel by boat on the narrow river which is filled with stumps and fallen tree's so the water resistant feature ( #4 rating ) is great since we are always around water and the way my son was holding the radio I was sure he was going to drop it in the water on the first day ( thankfully did not happen ). I dygress, during the squelch ordeal I called my son back which he may have been a 100 or so yards from me and whispered to him " did you call " he responded " I see some deer and a hog ". I could tell he was whispering too but it was very clear.
Other options I like are being able to turn "ALL" sounds off like when the PTT button is pressed so that animals don't hear you and any unneccesary noise can be deverted to maintain stealth. We have been using handheld marine VHF radios ( with 5 watt power ) but since when you are in the boat and below the river bank a lot of times VHF handhelds don't work real good. My thought was that since VHF is a " Line of sight " freq. and doesn't bend around obstacles very well that maybe the GMRS side of these radios might penetrate the woods and work better in our flat heavily wooded area, which time will tell. I also will be using them to communicate when backing the camper and working on projects at various distances.
The one thing I wish I would have done is have gotten the radio version with the " Animal Call Sounds " which would have suited our needs a little better, other than that they seem perfect so far.
Just to save anyone time: I have also researched " ALL " the FRS radios before my purchase as far as price, reviews and quality of construction. I have checked numerous other websites for retail and reviews and Amazon and this radio seemed to be the best overall.
I will update when we use them a little more.

Mine arrived and the batteries were charged. Used them for 8 -10 hrs a day without problems with the batteries.
Through the heavily wooded area around my house, I am getting 1.25 miles.
In the mountians, peak to peak was close to 12 miles. To the horizon on the water.
Sound is clear These work much better than the old ones I had for a decade.
For the price hard to go wrong
