We got these to use as an intercom between the house and workshed. When they work they are fine, but sometimes they don't work. One will go dead, and then if you keep turning it on and off enough times it start up again. But since you don't get a warning when it goes dead you can't rely on being reachable unless you keep checking to see if it is still on.
I wish I had saved the packaging to return them. They aren't sufficiently reliable to keep using.
We haven't used the advanced features, just because we don't trust the radios to carry them anytime we might need them.

Well... These radios are a really fantastic ones, in terms of price/characteristics relation.
They have a good constrution, quite strong enough.
They come with 700mAH batteries, which I strongly recomend to change them immediatly, because if you use these radios with full features and for a several hours in a day, the original batteries won't help you.
I'm using Duracell Type AA rechargeable batteries, 2650mAH and it is more than enough for several days.
About range, I believe they can do 36 mille, but... you must be at an environment with no obstacles at all and with excellent weather conditions. Other way, you will never reach 36 mille.
Until this moment, the best range I did get from them it was almost 5 mille with lots of obstacles, because it was in a city environment. Off course there was a lot of broadcast noise, but they did the job.
But any way, if you planning some outdoor activities like mountain bike, climb, or else; some off-road trip; or some 'airsoft' game like I mostly use them, this set of radios will be fantastic and will do the job.
And honestly, you will never regret yourself about the money you spend to buy these superb radios!!!

Excellent for the price. Great for local use like vehicles traveling together. They go about 2 miles apart on the freeways. Crystal clear voice. They say 36 mile range, but that is under optimum conditions with no obstructions. 2 miles in the city is amazing.

We used these radios in the mountains during a hunt and the only thing that really came into play was the ear buds hung on an ear clip did not always stay in place, along with the flex microphone..
A full over the head type headphone would be better................one that could be worn under a baseball cap for instance.

These are great radios. I got them for backpacking, skiing, airsoft and 4x4 trail runs. The sound is good. They sound as good as my friends 2 meter radios. The distance you get out of them obviously depends alot on the terrain. Don't expect more than a few miles in heavily wooded areas, deep canyons, or city driving. Out in the desert you get miles of range though. The only problem I have had with them is that the battery life indicator is junk with the rechargable batteries that come with it. The meter will show full for most of the time, then suddenly drop a few bars and be dead within 30 mins. No real consistency on showing the actual charge rate of the battery. Despite the battery issue, I've owned several different FRS/GMRS radios, and think these are the best.

A great two-way radio for direct or simplex communication for campers, hikers or anyone that requires short distance conversation less than two miles. Remember that the distance marketed by Midland and any 22 channels or greater radios is applicable only when you can see the person 10 miles away without any objects including trees or shrubs in between. Unless you are in a flat desert or ocean, you will not get the range as advertised.
One way to obtain longer distance with a UHF radio is by raising its height. If one of the user is at higher altitude such as hills, tall rocks or building, both can communicate at farther distance.
Don't forget to obtain an FCC license to operate on the GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) frequencies for channel 1-7, and 15-22. These frequencies can operate up to 5 watt and you will be sharing the same frequencies with other GMRS users. It is illegal to operate these frequencies without a license though many operate the radios without knowing that you can receive a hefty fine. The license is very easy to obtain through FCC website for Universal Licensing System (ULS)[...].
The license is for 5 years [...]. No test is required for GMRS but you can operate on any of the GMRS frequencies for your entire family under one license. That is your parents, childrens and any close member of the family.
My son is using the Midland GXT1000 when he is at the mall or at the playground with mommy. I can inline skate in the same park and communicate with him at any time. It's a great tool and less complicated than a cell phone.

You cannot beat these radios for the money. Do yourself a favor, don't look at any other radios, get these. A bit big in size, but all of the extras can't be beat and they do what you are buying them for!!

Product was TERRIBLE. Call me a novice; yes I was duped by the advertised range (no i didn't actually believe you could get 30 miles range....i assumed that if they advertised 30 miles i could at least expect 1/2 mile!). I'm in urban law enforcement, bought them to supplement emergency communications during hurricane season, left my house the day they arrived, no sooner had i walked out the door and down one flight of stairs - dead silent. Not a peep, didn't work 1 mile range, didn't work 1/2 mile range.....DIDN'T WORK ONE BLOCK AWAY! If you are going to use this anywhere but on a barren mountain-top - DON'T BOTHER.

I purchased this product for use around the farm, mostly within a mile or two of each other in the tractor cabs. Was able to receive signal at 10 miles of slightly rolling land with some obstacles. So far very happy with the purchase.

We purchased these radios for our retriever club. They have worked very well with no problems. The range is closer to 2 miles than the 35 advertised but that will be the same for any radio.

These radios are not much better then children's units that I could have purchased at Radio Shack or Toys are Us, for $10. The 35-mile range is a joke! I know that they state this distance is in flat unobstructed areas, but these units will not transmit 2 miles in my housing development! I am embarrassed that I believed the advertisement and wasted my money.

i purchased this unit to remedy communication problems when fishing the flats of Tampa Bay with fellow kayak fishermen. These units proved effective in an open water environment. The sound quality was exceptional for the moderate price handheld 2 way radio. The volume level could be a bit higher for this environment but the sound quality makes up for the volume level. The NOAA weather alert work great and is extremely helpful for all anglers. Initial set-up can be a bit overwhelming for those who fail to read the instruction manual or those unfamiliar with synchronizing two way FMS/GMRS radios. The earphone attachment is adequate but need to be improved for universal fit. A word of caution to those who believe these radios are "waterproof" as the packaging suggests. They are not. A more accurate definition is that they are "splash proof." Don't attempt to immerse these radio in any salt water. Also, you find that dropping these radio from four or five feet can result in a broker antenna. If you looking for a relatively "smart FMS/GMRS radio" with good sound quality and aesthetics then seriously consider the Midland GXT 1050 VP4.

First Observations: Looks cool. Logical interface. Earpieces cannot seem to get it to stay on my ears, flimsy ear mounts. Oh crap, you mean GMRS requires an FCC license?? That just *doubled* the cost of ownership!
Recommendation: If you want range, don't buy this radio. Get a CB radio instead.
Why: I bought this radio as a secondary means of communication in the event the cell phone lines were jammed as they were on 9/11. The listed 36 mile range is only BEST CASE situation if there are no buildings, dips in the road, etc. Best use would be for a use on a wheat farm in Nebraska, at a stadium, or on Lake Ontario... At two miles away from our house, I had no commo with my wife until I came over the small rise in the road and even then it was *barely* audible. Audio did not appreciably improve in the subdivision until 0.5 miles away from home. Unlike CB radio, the signals from GMRS radios are easily blocked.
Yes It's True: The radio REQUIRES an FCC license!! It costs about $80 per user and is good for 5 years. Yes, this radio has the 0.5 Watt Family Radio Band that does not require a license, but if you want to operate with any range at all, the license is required.
Don't waste your money and time. Get the CB for range!

We use the radio for communication between kayak and yacht. Works very well in the marina and the sound quality is very good. The earpiece is difficlut to keep on the ear but sounds good. I have been impressed with the sound quality however we have not been at a great distance. Less than a mile has been very good.

I have been more than happy with these radios. I use them mostly for tactical paintball in the woods and the range is great. I have really gotten a mile in deep, thick woods. Better than any motorola or other radios I have previously had.

The reviews of the radio were spot on. I use this caravaning with a group of people and needed something hands free. The headphone/mic sounded great and I was told the radio sounded as good on the other end with no over modulation as in some radios. The battery held a charge all day (the radio was on 6-8 hours continuously everyday)
I would definitely recommend this radio(and have)to others.

These Radios work great. Love the home and car chargers, We go on long quad and motorcycle trips and the batteries last a long time. At camp you can recharge for next day, Or install some AA batteries, It works with both. The battery pack that recharge with house or car charger. Or the AA's Works great. And are tough.

I bought these to use in a bar. I am a bouncer at a bar and we have live bands on Friday and Saturdays. My other bouncer and I bought the Midland Radios and Midland Security Headsets for the bar so we can communicate when we needed something. The radios are awesome, the only drawback is the battery life. We can only use them for about 18 hours and they go dead, so the rechargeable batteries that come with them are a lifesaver! I would recommend to anyone looking for a high quality radio. The NOAA weather feature is nice as well.

These GXT's are my second set of Midland two-way radios. They carry a strong signal and work well, the features and options are quite complicated and I have not used the headsets or the privacy code options, I don't need them. Just turn on the rotary switch and key-up. Ideal for carpooling, family camping, hotels, boating, festivals, RVing, etc. These radios are very simple and easy to use, or they can be as complicated as you want with the privacy coding options. I read the instruction manual fully and initially was intimidated, but actually they are very simple, turn them on push the button and talk. Another good thing about this package set-up is that it comes with all the batteries and AC/DC chargers, charge them at home or in your vehicle. Overall, for the Amazon price, and the product quality, if you need them, buy these GXT's on Amazon for [...] .

I use these radios for hunting in dense hilly pine plantations. The radios are feature rich and you get a lot of radio for the cost. I am also a ham radio operator and my handheld ham radios cost 3x as much for one radio. I don't know how they can offer them for so little. The battery life is very good, the tx/rx audio quality is excellent, they come w/ metal hydride batteries and drop in charger, and they even have vibrate call.
The usable range is always a question w/ handheld radios. These are UHF radios w/ tiny antennas and they aren't going to replace a ham radio base station w/ a 15' antenna, repeater, or cell tower. It has also been said that pine needles resonate around 440mHz which also antennuates the signal. We find the usable range to be about 1/2 mile to 1 mile in the woods. We are rarely any further apart than that so they are very handy. Your mileage may vary.
The one thing I don't like about these radios is they are darn hard to find if you drop it. We've lost 2 so far.

My brother and I took these radios to the canyons at park city on a ski trip. they worked great. battery life was impressive. never ran down with moderate use and on all day. I could reach him on the slopes with me down at the lodge. range is of course not as advertised. When testing I got about 0.5-1mile city. certainly up to several miles up on the mountain. clarity was outstanding. I don't think you can find a better radio in this category. Highly recommend.
