The additional UHF frequencies are extremely useful as they provide not only greater signal penetration within structures but they also spare you from radio traffic from FRS and GRS radios nearby.


also if you read the very fine print it tells you it will only go long distance if you are over a flat land or lake, forget about high hill or freeways, will not even go a quarter of a mile down the road with a slight high bridge in between, save your money and buy a cell phone.


He was given a Motorola P110 (very old), and the neighbor down the street that we are good friends with has one of them also. We can talk to one another 35 MILES AWAY!!!!!!!These suckers are probably older than I am. Very big and bulky, that is why we went with smaller and something that FALSELY advertised up to 36 mile range. I think it was a typo and was supposed to say 3-6 mile range. My stupiditity for not reading the reviews.
These radios are being shipped back first thing in the morning and I am never touching another midland again. BEWARE PEOPLE!!!!!!

I have tried Motorola ones and it cannot be compared to the quality and price with Midland GXT 1000VP4.








I understand there are many variables to worry about, but in this case, it meant I had to send them back (+1 for Amazon's amazing customer service), since I couldn't use them.
That said, if you can make the range work (e.g., ski slopes, boating, etc.), I think you are getting a lot of bang for the buck. The kit includes a car charger, and a wall charger, while it also includes 'proprietary' batteries, BUT you can use standard batteries as well! Quality wise, the hardware feels very solid.
So in the end, if you are looking for 2-way radios, I would strongly consider taking a look at these, as long as you get them from a dealer with a great customer service (such as Amazon), since you won't have much to lose should the range not work out.
With that in mind, make sure you unpack it carefully, as the packaging is somewhat frustrating to put back together should you have to send them back.

The included headsets work but aren't very comfortable.
Instructions could be a little clearer.
They say waterproof, but I don't know how you are going to talk underwater.

SIGNAL STRENGTH: Keep in mind that all 2-way FRS radios have the same limitations on power output, so these aren't going to be any stronger (except versus lower-wattage). I tested the signal strength from my house to my office (1.1 miles straight through flat-elevation neighborhood filled with trees), and was on the outer edge of getting reception, but could still communicate. As with all 2-ways, you can't get more than about 1 mile in urban areas, no matter the wattage. BTW, not all channels output at 'High' power (5 watts, these are FCC regulations), so you have to keep this in mind.
FEATURES I LIKE: It comes with rechargeable battery packs, however, you can use AA batteries if you forgot your charger. Also, the battery cover has a hinged plastic clip that must be released to open the battery cover (cover won't pop off if you drop it). The belt clip is spring-loaded and opens pretty wide. The belt clip is removeable using a lever-release clip; the bottom of the clip also has a lip to help keep it on your belt/pocket if you're climbing/crawling/contorting your body. The antenna is fairly stout and stiff, but made from a mildly flexible material to prevent breaking. The radios also have a vibrate feature you can turn on if you're around a lot of noise like me.
THINGS I DON'T LIKE: The charger basestand is very lightweight; to take the radios off the charger, you have to hold down the charger while pulling up on the radio (the charger has a plastic lip that holds them in), otherwise the whole charger and the other radio lift up with it. I suppose i could break the plastic lip off tho.. The only other negative is that these get stolen off a jobsite like they're free donuts. I've had 4 of them stolen in the last 2 years..
