Over All Rating Reviews :

After careful research of all available GMRS radios on the market, I choose Midlands top of the line GXT series radios. Midland has always made some of the best products over the years and I had to give these a try. I recently moved to a rather remote rural area and felt the need to have some additional ways of communication. The truth is, all of the high end consumer radios no matter that the wattage, are limited in range given the terrain you happen to be in unfortunately. Just to prove this, I did some range testing: 1: Rural w/ trees and some houses from house standing outside to max range in car was 2 miles. 2: Outside hunting with partner, ear pieces, forest canvas, 2 miles with elevation changes, excellent reception with more range easily available if needed. 3: Top of small elevation to house inside was over 3 miles loud and clear, so is it possible to get longer range if there are limited trees and obstructions. All of these tests were on high power (5 watts) and high power channels with privacy codes set.

I will be testing some more this month with various conditions.

Overall, I was very happy with these radio's. They are extremely durable, reliable, and well made.

Positives: Durable, functional features, battery life (8+hours on high), car charger, home charger, ear pieces, tons of privacy options with the channel selection, whisper function really works, vibrate mode that works excellent.

Negatives: Range is always hard to find with obstructions ( as with any radio). Midland does not have repeater channels on these top of the line GXT radio's. These radio's would be the complete package if they did.

I highly recommend these radios for any adult.

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.

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 [...] .

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!

My husband and I go gold panning in California when the snows melt. We are never in an area that has cell reception so we decided to invest in a two-way radio. We tend to wander away from each other so these have been very useful locating one another. Have only used them twice but are pleased with the reception, the hands free operation and the crystal clear signals.
I'm hoping we never have to use them in an emergency but at least we'll have them ... just in case.

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!

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.
