We use these while on biking, hiking or camping trips. They work great and allow our kids some independence while giving us the peace of mind in knowing that they can get a hold of us if needed. Originally we purchased these because I have a seizure disorder and my husband wanted to be able to know that I could reach someone outside if I were inside our home alone. We live on a large acreage of land and the range covered is true to what is advertised. High quality and very durable product!

I recently purchased these back in January. I have had Motorola and Cobra's before, but not that happy with their range, about 1-1 1/2 miles. I took these out with me on a day hike 2 weeks ago. I live in Idaho and it was cold and snowing a lot. My partner's wife decided to wait in the truck, so we used this to test these radios. Very hilly terrain. Conditions sucked, cold, blowing snow. We got about 3 miles separation is all for the day, but they worked great. I dropped mine in the snow several times, banged it on trees, sat on it. It held up great. For the money these are great radios for in the field. I love them and have since purchased two more. Oh ya the batteries held up great as well, we had them on for about 6 hours.

All manufacturers exaggerate the range of these little radios. I have used these to hear users on top of a 14,000 foot mountain from 6 miles away, but there were no obstructions between me and them. That's the best distance I've achieved. I had a lower power version of these and they worked well for several years before one of them died. I saved its battery as a spare for these and I can still use the one working with these. Most Midlands use the same rechargeable batteries, although you might carry at least four alkalines along if you expect to be away from the recharger for more than a day. If you're camping out you might want to establish a timetable to use them to extend battery life. They have excellent channel security, either with just two of them or in a group. Hearing other users of the same channel can get very annoying. The numerous privacy choices prevent that almost 100%. Like others, in a city or any enclosed space the range is very limited. The headsets can be handy of you're fishing or hunting. I've used 2-way radios for more than 40 years. The first ones I had were the size and weight of bricks. These are state-of-the-art, light, with good clips and among the best currently available.

My Father-in-law uses this out on Lake Michigan when he goes fishing, walking around town or when he and my husband goes to hunting camp. We had an earlier model and these work twice as far and the sound quality is excellant. Also the weather alert really comes in handy.

This was an upgrade from Motorola walkie talkies I had from 2003 or so. The difference in audio quality is impressive. I've compared these to newer Motorola models and Midland sounds way better. The range is great, and the battery life is good. I've taken them in the field for 8 hours of moderate use and the rechargeable battery packs lasted more than 2 days. Love the fact that you can substitute regular AA when your pack runs out.

The quality is what I expected from MIDLAND and I'm not dissappointed. Really good set of radios. I live in a coastal area that sometimes floods during a bad storm. I needed radios that I could depend on in an emergency. That's why I choose MIDLAND.

Wow and Wow. The device runs about a mile in a busy warehouse district through buildings, lines, cell towers, and highways with 0 interference. On an open job site, it should run about 3 or 4 miles interference free. The 50 channels are a plus. Understanding the programming takes about 10 minutes. Directions are only provided in English.

I purchased these to upgrade from my old Icom FRS radios which were well built (Japan) but not enough range. These have some nice features such as NOAA weather channels, ability to use 4aa batteries when the battery pack depletes, dual channel scan and two types of squelch codes CTCSS and DCS. Some of the features were not very useful to us but nice to know they're there if ever needed. I liked the silent option. I understood that there was no way they would do 36 miles. I just wanted a useful way of calling back to camp. From mtn top to valley we got 7 miles. We even achieved a signal from my lost partner headed up the wrong valley 3/4 miles on the dark side of the mtn. If you understand how radio waves work you can use these to their fullest extent. My old FRS radios worked out to 18 miles hill to hill. So these should work just fine. One con is the squelch crack at the end of transmission, not good if you want stealth.
I would recommend these..

I purchased these units with the idea of using them on the ski slopes to easily communicate with children and friends; and they work great for that purpose, of course assuming you have a gmrs license and use high power transmission. If you are familiar with Stowe VT, I was able to communicate with my daughter at the toll house (bottom of toll road) while I was somewhere on the gondolier trail or at the base of the forerunner quad (3-4 miles away and with a hill in between). Batteries lasted a whole day of skiing without any problem (indicator still showed full charge).
I gave them a try in the city, and the range is not as good there - which is expected.

I bought these radios based on many good reviews and have found them to be quite nice. The max range is listed as 36 miles, for a flat area LOS communication. I have had good luck with them at the 13 mile range. My GF was inside the house holding a radio and I went to a hill on our country property about 13 miles away with many hills in between and we were able to communicate fine. NEAT! I did let them charge for the full 24 hour period that the manual called for and obtained an $85 FCC license to use the high-power channels to be legal.

I ordered these and received them in two days. Overnight shipping. I have used these every time I go hunting. In the woods, I'd say the reception was pretty good as long as your terrain is flat. Belt clip them to your bibs or pocket and use a headset instead of fumbling for them all the time. Get rid of the headset that comes with them (too bothersome and don't fit worth a darn). Get the avp4 (surveillance type) and you're set. Plenty of choices for channels to select and all the other features are a bonus. The animal alert calls are pretty cool too. If you use a headset, remember to run the wire under your shirt and clip your collar. If not, be ready for a tanglesome event. Will be using them every time in the woods.

These radios offer the max, which the FCC will allow for this type of radio service. Very nice radios. And by the way, range does depend on conditions; with a ham radio handy talkie with the same wattage output and like (UHF) frequency, a ham operator can easily talk to the astronauts aboard the ISS!

My roommates and I all have dogs who we sometimes walk late at night.It's great to have a walkie talkie and be in constant communication with one another so none of us think twice about being out alone. Ths unit also works well if you're running errands and need to check at the house for an item OR if you're in the store and someone at home forgot to put something on the shopping list. (Saves minutes on your cellphone too!)

The Midland Outfitter Series GXT1050VP4 is no better then any other radios I have used. The GMRS side of the radio will not let you work repeaters for those that are licensed for this service. Range is a joke and the audio could be better the drop in charger only shows when the radios are charging but the light remains on after the battery is fully charged unlike the Talkabout Motorola radios I own. I feel this could shorten the battery life as they are always charging. I called Midland and they told me to charge the radios 8-10 hours max so I don't over charge and damage the batteries. You can not adjust the squelch on these radios as one radio does not hear as well as the other. Another call to Midland was of no help.On the plus side the ear microphones work well and the display is readable day and night.

Controls, convenience, range, displays, instructions, etc. all excellent. The only problem was rather low audio output, either with included earpieces or with optional helmet headsets. Barely enough even at absolute max volume, even at low (motor-scooter) speeds with full helmet. Still an extremely good value; the included earpieces and waterproof cases make these easily worth the added cost over other models.

I purchased this product for hunting purposes. Having the 650 and 850 series, I bought the 1050's to keep up with longer tranmissions. While the 1050 series transmits at longer ranges it doesn't come close to the 36 miles range as advertised. The furthest transmission was 18 miles. I suppose the key word in the product description "is under ideal conditions!". I would love to know what an ideal conditon is. Standing on the Moon with no obsticals in the way? Having the planets all aligned?
Despite my grumblings about never being in ideal conditions, the 1050's are satifactory and a well built product.
Maybe Midland could come out with a two way that transmits out to a hundred miles, therefore achieving a 36 mile transmission claim!

The package arrived quickly and was packed very well. Typical for an Amazon purchase.
The radios work as advertised and I got a range of 11 miles so far on the first usage, according to Google earth and the ruler function. This was using a high power GMRS radio channel. Will they make 36 miles? Not in my area they probably will not. If your area in flat like Kansas, I imagine that the radio might come close to that claim.
For the price, there was a lot included. The rechargeable batteries were a nice addition as the radios burn through regular AA batteries.

In the past I have taken walkie talkies to the State Fair and they were unusable because of all the chattering going on. I brought the Midland GXT1000VP4 radios to the fair and randomly selected a channel and privacy setting. They worked perfectly. Not one other person broadcasted on the same channel (200,000 people in attendance). We could hear each other crystal clear. You either get a crystal clear signal or no signal at all with these radios; there is never any static. They lasted the whole day on one charge and the battery indicator still read full.
The only complaint that I have is when putting them on the charger, it takes a bit of menuvering to get the charge light to go on...and I have had it go off after about 15 minutes before. In that case I reseated the one radio again and the light stayed on for the whole charging period.

I like the Walkies but they lack the range, its states 30+ miles but it barely reaches 2 miles, and I live in flat lands, Trees, no hills or valleys. Its great for the kids for play. Its got that toy-ish feel to it. Hey for 50 bucks it came with allot of gear, head sets, stand/changer, batteries, it comes fully loaded. If your looking for a good Walkie Talkie, this may not be for you.

I recently purchased these radios after our 2-year old Motorolas were stolen. We use the radios exclusively for RVing (communicating between driver and spotter when maneuvering). The audio on these radios is MUCH better than the previous Motorolas. Menu functions seem to be a bit more intuitive as well.
The only negative I have found is "range", or lack thereof. Midland advertises 36 miles. (Yeah, I know, that's on a straight shot with nothing in between, but how many of us really use them under those conditions!) In the real world we were able to transmit about 1 mile.
I knew this limitation going in, so I wasn't disappointed.
The radios work well for our purposes.

This is an excellent product. Much better quality than the Cobra FRS/GMRS radios they replaced. Great features, durable construction, easy to program, and good quality audio. You can't go wrong with these for backcountry communication!
