We have used these on a few hunts and camping trips. Works great car to car, and with headsets, we can talk are shows easily. Testing these now for concert filming.

I agree with many in the reviews for this product that the 36 mile range is unrealistic in the real world and was probably achieved under ideal conditions. For my wife and I, we found that half to one mile in both built-up areas and moderately heavy wooded areas (we hammock camp) was about the max range. For our camping purposes, this is more than adequate. We have not tried over water or in a boating scenario.
The compact size makes these units easy to carry- we attached them to our pack straps. I'm disappointed that no radio case is available made specifically for these units- to include Midland's site. We have used them in light rain without incident but would have liked the extra protection of a case. My wife and I liked the NOAA weather feature- April in Arkansas tends to have bad weather- severe storms and tornados. We use these at home for this reason as well as when we are in the field.
When we got these units, we turned off the beep ('roger') feature occurring during power turn on and transmitting. This greatly increased battery life. Have not used the included head sets yet, so I can't comment on their use. Other than the range, great, useful product. Would recommend.

I use these on oil locations to communicate with my team members and they work wonderfully well. Anyone buying radios of this nature is probably aware that the 36-mile range thing is a joke. If you go over a hill out of the line of sight, you are looking at maybe a half mile range. There should be some sort of realistic standard for describing the range of radios like this, because given that the range in real world conditions is such a tiny fraction of their stated range, it feels like false advertising. I wasn't looking for anything near 36 miles, but 1 or 2 might have been nice. Other than that, they are well built and function correctly. They take a very long time to charge - 24 hours initially and then 12 hours thereafter, which I find kind of odd. For something in this price range, the quality is quite good and I am happy with them for what they are.

I order and reorder these radios as they are the best deal for the range of channels. We use our radios 5 out of 7 days a week and have had to send many back to the factory for a variety of issues. Would love to spend 10 to 20 dollars more for a more durable radio.

Yes, the 36-mile range is a joke, as are most of the distance ratings for walkie talkies; but the set performed well and held a charge for many hours of continuous use during a recent camping trip. Actual distance is probably more like a mile, based upon an unscientific test we conducted to test the units; and that's more what one would expect. The set appears to have a lot of functionality, but is not particularly intuitive for anything other than the basics. It did come with instructions, which can help the purchaser get the most from the set. Didn't have an opportunity to test the extent to which the walkie talkies were waterproof, but use during a rain storm didn't seem to damage anything. Quality set, good price, fast delivery - can't ask for much more.

I use these with my kids all the time when they go out to play down the street. They take one with them and leave one behind. This year, I think I'll buy another set so they can split up if they want to. I'll also be taking these camping in case they want to explore a little.

Sitting in the woods less than a mile apart and not being able to communicate using these radios is a big disappointment. I don't have good cell reception and thought the radios were the answer but they don't have even close to the advertised range.

These are outstanding radios. We take them on trips when we have two or more vehicle. They allow us to communicate with the other vehicles. They are heavy duty. Shipping was as expected. I would definitely purchase this product.

These walkie talkies are vary cheap for how expensive they are! They do not have the range they boast and I had to return the first set because one worked and the other didn't work. 9 months after replacing them with a new set, another one quit working. Not happy that this happened after the date I could return them. Very disappointed!

These work amazing for a summer camp I run. We are all able to stay in contact and get to where we would need to be in an emergency. They hold their charge, there is no static and overall function is great.

The radios are decent for limited, short-range use. The 3 star rating is because the range claim is bogus so I must bash them for that. I own four of them (just got two more) but you should ignore the marketing and especially the "up to 36 Miles range". You have probably already heard this but the ranges in the marketing for all GMRS handheld radios are bogus (all the brands). I don't know how they get away with these ranges in their marketing/specs. Having said this, the GXT 1000's are among the best in the price range. Seriously -- just tell it like it is -- for $35 each you would not expect that kind of range so why mislead.
I am a FCC licensed operator so I use these at the maximum power and with higher powered mobile units and base stations with high-gain elevated antennas. I use them in a suburban environment and on a ranch. Here is what I have found:
Handlheld (GXT 1000) to Handheld (GXT 1000)
1. Line of sight over water (a lake): Crystal clear at up to one mile - usable at two miles (haven't tried further because the lake is only two miles long so I didn't care)
2. Over land -- open ground: 1/2 mile clear -- usable up to a mile -- intermittent at 1.5 miles
3. Over land through treed area: usable up to 1/2 mile but very intermittent beyond
4. Elevated, open line of sight (e.g./ hill to ground): usable at up to 2-3 miles (unless there are trees or structures in the way -- then see #3)
Handlheld to Base Station (25 Watt - 6 dB gain antenna at 30')
Line of Sight: usable at up to 6-8 miles (but very sensitive to elevation), nothing at 10 miles even on a hill (note that in the same 10 mile elevated location a mobile unit at 25W with short 1/4 wave antenna is quite usable so it's not about the line-of-sight -- they just don't have the power, antenna or filtering to be useable in real-life conditions at that range)
This is my personal real-life information. Not scientific to refute their claim of 36miles (perhaps a theoretical calculation -- through space in a vacuum with 0 humidity or particulates). Also keep in mind that at 11 miles the curvature of the earth will obscure line of sight on a handheld (unless you are both very tall).
So why do I have four of these things:
1. They are very useable for short range needs (especially over water or line of sight: boat-to-shore, car-to-car, around the ranch, family/group hiking, etc.
2. They are relatively durable and moisture-resistance (but keep them in a zip-lock bag on the boat and in rain -- they are not really waterproof -- despite the marketing).
3. Battery life is decent
4. Work well for a bit longer range with mobile or base station units. (but not 10 miles)
5. They are very cheap (seriously -- for $35 each they are very good / useable -- a decent antenna costs more than that)

We have had our radios for about 2 years now. They are pretty great. We can hear each other well from our house to our back pasture ( we have 70 acres ) and the batteries last a good long time. Midland has also been great working with us when we had a problem! One of our radios quit working recently and they replaced it very quickly! Great product.

These sucked! I had to yell in them for others to hear me! The range is good if there is absolutly nothing inbetween the two radios! The ear piece has to be yelled into even louder for others to hear me. And when I was no more than a mile away others said It sounded like i was 30 miles away. Garbage two way radios! Only use is for highway use. Two stars for working on the road.

I was thrilled with the walkie talkies as I bought a set last year paid almost as much and they ended up being junk from a toy store. That`s why I am buying them again this year. I bought the extra warranty not realizing they were already guaranteed for 3 years. He will be 18 before the warranty is up.

I use it in the mountains in austria and get very good signal quality, even above 2 miles in Hi mode. Batteries last for 2h at least, equipped with 4x AA batteries (not included) even longer. Good buy!

Works okay in three block radius. Regular flat neighborhood with trees and houses. Not sure where they come up with 36 miles. I would say probably around a quarter mile would be accurate. The radio also seem to be extremely clear when you are one block away. Beyond the one block radius you start to hear some static. I hope this information is useful to anyone thinking about purchasing the radio. I would not expect them to perform better than this i'd love to see this work 36 miles away.

26 miles of WHAT! I can get good reception for about 3/4 of a mile. That being said I am in the suburbs with buildings blocking the line of site. I hear they work much better in the woods. But that's not what I bought them for. I wanted to be able to talk to my wife at home from my work which is about 10 miles away. But no go on that one bro.

I bought these for Christmas for my husband because the cell phone service is patchy in the mountains at times and we like to four wheel and ski. They are great to communicate with each other and they have an excellent range.

When they worked, they worked well. In the city, had about a 1 mile range. But after about 2 weeks, one of the two radios just completely stopped working. It wasn't dropped, it wasn't damaged...just wouldn't turn on anymore. Charged battery, tried regular batteries, etc. to no success. I DO NOT RECOMMEND these radios based on their dependability. Family member had a surgery, so used these for comm around house. Can't imagine if they quit working while in the field!! no thank you.
