Size: 2 Pack Color: Black/Silver
I think these have good features for a 'bubble pack' FRS/GMRS-only radio, I can't speak for the long term quality or reliability because I have not owned them long or used them much. I initially got another set that barely transmitted - so I had to return those, but the replacements I got are working good. Unless you have a nice ham HT that you like, I personally think everyone should have a pair of these: *they have the ~highest power that bubble pack radios have *the charger can plug into a house outlet or it can plug into a car 12v plug (if the power went out you could recharge these radios via your car 12v plug and keep them running for about a week or so I figure) *they can plug into a house outlet with the battery removed so you can keep it on listen/scan mode all the time around the clock without worry of overcharging/overheating the battery, great for neighborhood watch/security use *bubble packs in general are so easy to use anyone can use them without any learning curve *they run off 4 AA alkaline batteries as well as the Ni-MH rechargeable battery *they seem to run off 4 AA Ni-MH rechargable batteries as well, I tested it quick but did not do extensive testing so don't quote me on this *you can use headsets with them They have 3 power settings (low, med, hi), low is .5 Watt, so I'm assuming med is at least 1 W and hi is at least 1.5 W, but I'm not sure exactly, I think hi might be 2W, it could be more or less than that, I'm just guessing. But it's probably about the highest power that any of the 'bubble pack' FRS/GMRS-only radios offer. The antenna is longer than some other 'bubble pack' radios, I think for the FRS/GMRS frequencies it needs about 6-inches minimum, so any radios with those real short antennas are not going to have as much range. It comes with Ni-MH battery packs but they're only 700 milliamp hours (which only lasts ~14 hours with just listening & no transmitting), but you can use 4 AA alkaline batteries for somewhat longer lasting battery charge time (at least twice based on what I read on the internet). I wish it was designed to work with AA rechargeable batteries, I tried putting 4 AA rechargeable batteries in it and it did work, it transmitted well at least 3/4 mile, but I did not test it extensively so I can't guarantee anything because the rechargeable batteries put out less voltage than regular Alkaline batteries. The radios will work while simultaneously being recharged on the charger. Also, you can put them on the charger with the battery removed and they still work, they work on AC power alone with no battery installed, so you can leave it on 24/7 plugged into the wall without overcharging the batteries. The charger/docking base is not an "intelligent" charger so it doesn't automatically know when the batteries are done charging so you have to manually unplug it when you think it's done charging. I don't really know how long to charge the batteries for, the AC adapter puts out 300ma & 9 Volts, which the charger base converts to 225ma & 12+ Volts so theoretically it should take about 3 hours to fully charge one (700mah divided by 225mah = 3.11 hours) or 6 hours to fully charge two at the same time, but the instructions say 12 hours (referring to charging two at the same time I'm sure), so I reckon it takes less than the recommended 12 hours. Just thinking, you could plug it into one of those 'lamp timers' so you wouldn't have to remember when to unplug it. It has a battery life indicator on the display and when the battery is low it beeps periodically. These radios have a scan feature but it takes a full 15 seconds for it to scan through all 50 channels, so you might miss a transmission if it were short. It will also scan just 2 channels of your choosing (called "dual watch"). Channels 23-50 are for Midland brand radios only, they really just reuse channels 1-22 but with hard coded 'privacy' tones, so they're not really extra channels per se, as one could use one of the 22 real channels with any chosen 'privacy' code and that would be the same functionality. I wish it did not even have these "extra channels" because it makes the scan feature take a long time. I understand why ham operators should have a license - so everyone knows what they're doing and is not being annoying to others, but as far as GMRS channels (15-22) requiring a license I personally think it's just another tax. Channels 1-7 are license-free at .5W, but require a license to use up to 5W, these Midland radios will work at hi power on these channels even though you're supposed to have a license, although I don't think anyone could technically be able to tell if you were using more than .5W or not. Channels 8-14 are license-free and .5W only, these Midland radios will only work at lo power on these channels. Channels 15-22 require a license and you can use up to 50W with other high powered radios. I do understand why there are low-power-only channels (8-14), so that people that don't need anymore than .5W will have less traffic/congestion. As far as range goes, on hi power, I tested them to go 1.5 miles, with clear reception, it may have been working further than that but it started to cut out shortly beyond that distance. On low power the only test I did was at 3/4 mile and it did work well but there was some static in the background. I tested them on a winding road with mostly flat terrain and lots of trees & fields. One radio was inside my car while driving, and the other was inside my house at desk level. I recommend either these Midland radios and/or an inexpensive ham HT (handheld transceiver) radio for my neighborhood watch group. I like the idea of a ham HT such as one of the Baofeng or Wouxun models for their higher power (~4 W) and better antennas and better transceiver quality and additional ham frequency bandwidths. I want to be able to have them plugged into an electrical outlet 24/7 around the clock so I'm going to buy a "battery eliminator" accessory and an AC to DC power supply. I wouldn't simply leave the ham HT radio on the charger with a battery in it, it might eventually overheat. ... show more

  • Made Our Road Trip Way More Fun!
Size: 2 Pack Color: Black/Silver
Great for Road Trips! We really enjoyed having these Midland GXT walkie talkies on our caravan trip from Georgia to Oregon. I didn’t use the earpieces, but I did keep one radio charging in my truck with the 12V cigarette lighter adapter. Every 2–3 hours, we’d swap the radios between vehicles, and that setup worked perfectly — each talkie stayed charged for about that amount of time while running continuously. We never needed to test the full range since our vehicles were usually within about 30 feet of each other, but we did pick up some pretty far interference while driving through Wyoming, which was interesting. If I had to point out anything negative, it would be that the maximum volume isn’t very loud — we kept them on full volume most of the time — and I expected a bit longer battery life. Still, they worked great for our needs, and it was a fun and reliable way to stay in touch during the trip. Definitely a solid 5-star product! ... show more

  • Decent product, but best you can get ...
Size: 3 Pack Color: Black/Silver
I like these two-way radios for general use. I think most people have overly ambitious expectations for these radios, but based on my expectations, these work great. Overall, this is a good product if you have a decent understanding for what these types of handhelds are capable of. If you are expecting long distance communications over a mile, continue to read my full review to help expectations. For the build quality, value, and performance, I would recommend. The biggest issue is the battery performance, which should be supplemented with larger mAH rechargeables. Overall, still a good product. Build quality: For the most part, the build is good, but not entirely waterproof. You may pay more for waterproof radios, but it's not always necessary. They're rated as waterproof, but I would consider these more of "weatherproof" where they can be used in rainy weather and should never be submerged and may be damaged if they're submerged for more than a few seconds (enough to pick it out of the water). They're built of plastic like most radios of this quality, so they'll handle most bumps, low drops, and dings for outdoor use. Ease of use: Depending on your experience on using radios such as this in combination of the frequencies and privacy channels, this is relatively easy. That being said, to best take advantage of it's features, you should always read the directions. Features: These radios cover all the FRS and GMRS radios including the many privacy codes for each. It also has WRX/Weather/Emergency channels as well, which has a dedicated button (press-hold) that will scan to find the strongest signal. I like this feature a lot as weather is always important when outside for long periods of time. Nice to have features is the the ability to turn on/off transmission confirmation (read: It will send a beep when done transmitting to confirm to the receiver you're done. Based on channel used, it will automatically switch to high power for channels that allow it, including FRS and They work well and easy to program them as such. Performance: This is probably the most argued part of any radio. Usable distance. To be clear, you will NOT get the rated 36 miles unless you have a completely un-obstructive line of site from radio to radio. For instance, you're on top of a mountain and transmitting down to someone 36 miles away. Or, if you're on open water. This becomes progressively worse as you move closer to a metropolitan city, which is pretty much the worse case scenario. Mountains, hillsides, trees, towers, buildings, and terrain will always affect their capabilities. These will fail even within a few hundred feet depending on the materials the signal has go through or go around. If you live in a metropolitan city with high concrete/metal buildings, don't expect to get good reception between radios. If you live within a concrete/metal building, don't expect to transmit/receive a good signal either. I can't emphasize this enough for any potential buyer of FRS/GMRS radios. You have to be mindful of what is simply possible for any of these handheld radios. Unless you're sticking your head out the window of your building and your receiver is doing the same thing and you both are transmitting in the relatively same direction, you may have a chance. This is inherent in these radio, due to their antenna and power limits. FRS I believe cannot transmit over .5 watt, and GMRS handhelds like these, may transmit anywhere from .5-5 watts.** With that said, I would say in a dense metropolitan city, I would expect anywhere from 100 - 400 yards at best. On the freeway or open road, you're looking at .5 mile up to a mile. As you go on more suburban to rural roads, you can expect anywhere between 1-3 miles, as even rolling hills and mountain sides will obscure a signal. As you can read, unless you're in ideal situations, don't expect to have nearly the rated capabilities. (What are they good for then?) Understanding these limitations, we primarily use this for RV travel. We use these around camp and when we have to communicate directly when maneuvering the RV in campsites. We are able to use them in close communications from car to car in a pinch, but knowing we still have to be in line of site of each other. Also, the car/vehicle itself counts as an obstruction, which can lower your distance. We also use these when hiking to keep the group together. Once again, when someone just a few hundred feet away rounds a granite faced bend, that would be enough to lose a good transmission if the signal can't bounce off anything. Radio Traffic: To be clear, these are commonly used frequencies and it should be expected that many will be using it at any given time. Read: Most channels will have cross traffic regardless of privacy channels you use. (Note: Privacy channels only omit other transmissions to keep your transmissions clear. This does not mean anyone monitoring/transmitting on your channel cannot hear you. Transmitting on these channels are NOT secure or private.) Battery performance is probably the worse trait of this product. I also use higher mAh rechargeable batteries as backups if I don't have time or availability to recharge. That being said, these are not meant for constant communications for long periods of time. In regard to overall performance, this products does just as well as most other brands for this particular market of products and is rated as such. Performance is subjective and based on environment. Be mindful of this for my rating. ** It is important what limitations these handhelds have, including their antenna and transmission limits. Obviously, if you have a longer antenna that can go above obstructions you would have a better chance of getting your transmission out and received. Also, the strength of the signal plays a big role as well. That being said, based on the frequency you use and their limits will greatly affect their usability. As noted earlier, FRS a frequency range ANYONE can use with no license, is limited to .5 watt, maybe even 1 watt. GMRS, which requires a license to transmit is limited to 40 watts, but these handhelds can only transmit between .5 watts to 5 watts. I believe this particular product transmits at 2 watts. Lastly, the antenna for handhelds cannot be removed/replaced, which also limits its transmission range. This is intended. What do you do if you need more range. To help mitigate environmental obstructions, you can do a couple of things. You can increase the antenna size and increase the power. YOU CANNOT DO THIS WITH HANDHELD FRS/GMRS RADIOS such as this product. So, handheld FRS/GMRS radios are not an option. You can get a traditional (non-handheld) GMRS radio with increased power/watt with a replaceable antenna. Before you do this, you should attain your GMRS radio license first. After, you will be able to legally transmit passed the FRS frequencies and power requirements. As an example, the Midland MXT115 will transmit at 15w on GMRS and you can use a longer antenna to help extend your range. The MXT400 will transmit at 40w on GMRS and also can use a longer antenna. These are not handhelds, but more for permanent installations, although the MXT275 is a good option. This is you next step up from handhelds. After, you will need to move into the ham radio frequencies, which are far more dependable and have a greater range with the use of repeaters. Of course, you will need to be licensed for this as well. I hope this helps. ... show more
