Midland GXT1000VP4 5 50 Channel Waterproof GMRS Radios with NOAA Weather/All Hazard Alert. Includes Rechargeable Batteries, Dual Desktop Charger, Headsets and 12 volt Vehicle Adapter, Pair Packed. The GXT1000VP4 features the standard 22 GMRS Channels plus an additional 28 Channels. The GXT1000 meets the JIS4 Standard of exposure to water for 30 minutes and features the Maximum Power allowed for GMRS Handheld Radios for up to a 36-Mile Range. Weather Scan finds the nearest NOAA broadcast to stay up to date with the latest weather and hazard information. In addition to important weather announcements, All Hazards Alert means the GXT1000VP4 will receive other emergency announcements such as Child Abduction (Amber Alert), Nuclear Power Plant Warnings, Biological Hazard, Fire, and Landslide Warnings. New features for 2009 include the Whisper feature which allows you to speak quietly and still be heard clearly by others and SOS to send out a distress sound for emergency situations. The Group Call allows you to make "direct calls" to other people within the group without alerting the entire group. The GXT1000VP4 features a Vibrating Alert for silent notification and 9 Level E Vox for Hands Free operation. Additional features are 387 Privacy Codes, Scan of the 50 Channels, Hi/Med/Low Power Settings, 10 Call Alerts, Keypad Lock, and Battery Save Circuit. Unlike other GMRS radios on the market that use lithium batteries, Midland's Dual Power Option allows the use of the included rechargeable batteries or 4 "AA" batteries (Not included).

±1±: Best Buy I had been using FRS/GMRS radio for years and my previous model was Motorola T250 and T6400. In comparison, GXT1000 is a bit on the bulky side. Mainly because it is much thicker. Therefore, carrying it in my package can be little awkward. However, the included belt clip works well. The range is far greater then my old GMRS T6400. Testing in a suburb setting, I was able to get reliable range at around 2 miles when both operators are on the ground level, outside of any building. When one operator move to higher ground (fifth floor), the range extended to 5 miles.

The included headset is simply a joke. I can't get to fit on my ear and mic will only pick conversation if I cup my hand around it.

With that said, it is overall still a good value given its build quality and range.
