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

I would like to see the blue tooth option. Think it would be a real plus. the VOX works well for communication on this modelonly. The lower model it did not work so well.

Just as advertised, I like everything about these but the range. They need to let us know the range in real world situations..

I used indoors for a couple of events in an sports arena. They worked great covering the entire facility. Voice over the radio was always very clear. Battery lasted the entire day with normal use. It needed to be recharged overnight each day.

They work well, and sound nice. But I wished Midland would join the rest of the electronic world and use Lithium-Ion batteries, instead of Nic-Cads still. They are wrong though on the box where they claim to offer 50 channels. The FCC only allows the standard frequencies as with other GMRS/FRS radios. They just pre program the "extra channels" by using random regular channels with different codes to fake an "extra channel". I tested this by transmitting next to a scanner on every channel and writing down the actual frequency I was using. Never believe everything you see!

as walkie talkies they work great and I would rate them higher but I wanted the hands free function and they fall short there. there is a lag in the VOX function that makes it difficult to use. I found a all in one headset that works exceptional in that regard. We are using as two way radio with out the headsets and find them working well.

Have tried these while hiking and deer scouting. They have worked very well so far. I have used these with AVHP4 ear clip and together they work great. Can't wait for deer season.

These radios have been great to me. I use them for security work, Hiking and while on my motorcycle. In the city I can only get about a mile out of them but they are built great. No issues with batteries or them breaking. Great voice quality. Group mode is awesome.

As the title says. This is a nice radio kit, with electrical and car power jack charge adapters, two headsets, charge station and of course two radios. The range on these is actually pretty good, but I honestly havent tested them out to 36 miles yet. However about four miles in a valley and assorted ravines etc, these funtioned great. The headphones functioned great as well, and I could see using these for hunting etc down the road. I'm really happy with the all around performance, and again, to be honest can't see the need to transmit for 36 miles, but at the same time I dont live in Kansas or the like where its flat enough for that to work.

One of the radios quit working (won't power on) within first few weeks of use. Manufacturer replaced the unit at no charge (other than the cost of shipping). About 9 months later, the other radio also quit working with the same issue.
I bought Motorola radios and quit using these.

Broke after 3 months of very light use. Perhaps an hour a month. Makes a squealing sound whenever I depress the talk button. When it worked, it was just okay. Wouldn't always connect to the other handset, even at close range, under 100 ft unobstructed. But most of the time it worked fine. Average performance. Awful quality.

I've had these for awhile now, a year at least. I used them 2-3 times, once to test them out, once on a short hike, and once when the kids were running around the house playing army or something. When I put them away, they were stored in a clean, dry box in a closet. Took them out, won't hold a charge or even turn on when they are plugged in. Garbage, and for a family on one income that needs communication options, a total waste of serious money. Going with motorola. Disappointed, Midland, very disappointed!

Had it for several months. Have not tested the "paid" FCC range. So far, it works good at football field lengths around walls, and in stores, etc. I do not expect any consumer walkie-talkie to work more than 1/2 mile around bulidings, hills, etc., and maybe several miles with no obstructions on the free frequencies.
The battery indicator beeps before the GXT will stop working very soon. The LCD battery indicators aren't very accurate. The menu is a bit cryptic and one has to refer to the tiny manual if you don't change settings too often.
I have found out sometimes it does not seem to charge right. After charging overnite with the battery charger lite indicating it IS charging and turning it on it seems dead. No light or sound to indicate it is working. Taking the battery out and putting it back in the unit and (surprise) it's fully charged! So, there is some kind of connection problem here.
The volume knob has a small mark which should be painted in so you can see at a glance how high the volume is set. FYI, I painted the spot white myself. All control knobs and buttons work fine and seem of high-quality.
The VOX varies in sensitivity. You still have to talk very loud on the most sensitive setting and repeat yourself as you may get cutoff due to varying sensitivity.
Regular transmitting seems to work fine and the other party reports hearing you very clear, but this is for short distances, so one should expect that.
The LCD screen only lights up when you first turn it on or press one of the front buttons and only for a short time.
It has many, many features including a lot of "silent" options. To name a few it has, Call, SOS, (very loud), Lock, Monitor/Scan, Ring/Call tones, Group, Vibrate, etc. As well as the maximum amount of Security codes for this type of FCC range.
The battery charger has an indicator to show it is properly in the charger and making a connection and the GXT snaps right in. It also has a belt clip that works fine and is spring-loaded, not like others that just use "tension" to hold them on.
The "invisible" earbuds with lapel mics work fine and seem to look like the same ones used by undercover types. So expect to get some stares. Seems to drive woman crazy, so be careful. ;)
Overall, I am pretty satisfied with the "Family" range and the quality of its build. Again, I only use it for a couple of 100 feet between buildings and the like and don't know its super-range capabilities.
The only thing that bothers me a little is with the VOX you still can't get it to work the way one would imagine with nine ranges!
1 YEAR USE UPDATE:
After a year or so of very lite use I notice one of the units will not come on, sometimes after a charge and found out there is some kind of bad connection between the battery and the unit. The battery must be taken out and reconnected or exchanged with the other unit before working again, sometimes after doing this several times in a row.
2 YEAR USE UPDATE:
Still going strong, but I found out one annoyance. The volume button moves too easily and if your shirt is over it or in your pocket it will turn the volume knob and that can be very annoying or very dangerous depending on what it is used for. It needs to be made a little more harder or stiffer to turn.

The radios perform, more or less, as advertised. Remember that to use them legally on the GMRS frequencies, you MUST obtain a license from the FCC at a cost of $80 for 5 years. (Failure to do so could result in a $10,000 fine!)

My son and I got airsoft guns for Christmas and we wanted a cool way to talk smack to one another while we shot at each other. We went to sports authority and bought a set of cobra two-way radios on clearance. what GARBAGE! However, we were sold on the idea of hands-free VOX and did some research on this Midland set. It was worth every penny ($89 retail at sports authority, I paid $59 on amazon). UPS shipped to wrong facility so the radios arrived 2 days later, but that’s ok. Pulled them out of the package and everything was there and everything works. The whole handheld is placed in the charger so no hassle with charging. The headset pieces work great and whisper mode audio clarity is very nice. the only beef i have is with the headset. it does not come with any clip on the wire to attach to a collar or clothing. The ear piece is too large to fit into my 12 year old son's ear properly, but we were able to get it to stay in place quite easily and comfortably with the airsoft face masks on.
I would recommend this to anyone. Don't buy a COBRA brand radio, total garbage!
