Better than FRS...

After deciding that GMRS was the way we wanted to go for now for overlanding group communications, we chose to get some good handhelds first. These have good reviews. We haven't used them on a trip yet, but were really hoping for more than 1 mile clear communication in a standard suburban area. I'm sure they'll be better without so many building obstructions (homes) between radios. Ultimately, we'll probably buy mobile units, but these will fit our needs for now.

Midland GTX1000VP4 FMS/GMRS Two-Way Radio

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Midland GXT1000VP4 50 channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radio works fine over short distances. I have not had any luck with 36-mile range. The range is a few miles under good conditions, but that is all I need. The good things about the pair of radios is that you have 50 channels and encoding to select the radios that will receive the signal. You can add more radios and make this a good radio system with parents on one channel and others on other channels. It is very useful. The radio also has 3 power levels to select from to conserve the included rechargeable battery backs. A charger that operates on a 120 VAC wall wart or a 12 VDC using a cigarette lighter receptacle. The charger will charge both radios at the same time. The battery packs are also designed to use non-rechargeable batteries if desired. Accessories include belt clips, a headset/mics and for each radio. The Midland GTX1000VP4 FMS/GMRS Two-Way Radio is an excellent to use or as a present for anyone needing one. One additional feature I should mention is the CALL button which causes the radio you are calling to Ring alerting the radio called to respond to the caller.

Perfect radios for long cable pulls !

I bought these radios for my crews pulling cable and they have had nothing but good things to say about them ! They really like the larger clips so they can attach them to their harnesses. They are very clear sounding and the battery life is excellent!

Classic reliability

Radio has excellent reach. In a small, hilly town with lots of trees and houses, I can clearly hear my staff from the town square all the way out to the public pool. Battery life is good as well. Easy to use and carry. Weather radio is a plus, very easy to set up. We like all of the features, including the "lock" on the buttons.

So far excellent

Just purchased these radios to test them for use in our church security team, so far they are excellent radios. We only utilize them within a range of about 150 yards between buildings, but they are crystal clear in that range even with concrete walls in between us. Only had them for a month so far we will see how durability is?

Amazing handhelds

I bought and use these radios primarily for off-roading. I used them this past weekend and they worked great! I and the other Jeep used the two handhelds all day without needing a charge and even when I got home to charge them they still had plenty of battery left. They are clear to understand and quick to setup and get working.

Super handy

Great radio... has all the features you need which are easily accessed using the five buttons on the face. The antenna is not removable, but its small enough and beefy enough making it super rugged. It boasts 50 channels, but be aware that channels 23-50 are simply one of the first 22, but with privacy codes. These coded channels only keep you from hearing other users' conversations. I personally find this rather useless as you may very well interfere with other conversation. Is sole purpose is to keep the radio completely siilent until a transmission is made from your other radio. Also note that this radio cannot be programmed to use any repeaters. It is a basic radio for simplex use. In conclusion, it is a great little radio for anyone that wants a two way communication device that is simple and uncomplicated to use. Lastly, I have found the battery holds its charge vell and gives you pleanty of "use time"

Good little hand held, much better than FRS radios

These are great little radio's , not as good as a mobile unit but much better than a FRS radio. Easy to get a license but of course it is on a government website so a little confusing . $35 for ten years, no test and your family is covered. These do not connect to repeaters but can connect to other hand held several miles away even in congested areas.

GREAT WORKS FOR US

I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY DAD THAT IS BLIND SO WHEN HE NEEDS ME I AM OUT SIDE HE HAS A WAY TO GET HOLD OF ME, THE BUTTONS ON THE SIDE IS BIG ENOUGH THAT HE CAN FIND IT AND IT BEEPS LET HIM KNOW THAT HE CAN TALK. HOW FAR I CAN GO WITH IT IS NOT BAD YOU CANT GO 10 MILES WITH IT BUT I THINK IT IS BECAUSE I LIVE IN A HILLY AREA. BUT IF ARE OUT IN THE FEILD OR IN THE WOODS YOU SHOULD BE OK. THE BATTARY LIFE IS NOT BAD . I WENT 2 DAY ALMOST 3 DAYS BEFORE I HAD TO CHARGE IT. BUT THAT IS WITH NOT USE IT MUCH. ITS NOT BAD THE HEAD SET FEELS LITTLE OFF TO ME THAT COULD JUST BE ME. IT WORTH THE MONEY IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO SIMPLE THINGS WITH IT.

Excellent walkie talkies

Excellent walkie talkies, I have tested around 500 mts- 1640 Ft between cars and sounded great. The Vox option it´s great because you can use it just talking, you need to start with a short word, like "one" in order to Vox get activated and start talking in order not to cut your message. Vox function is great because you can get "fingerpain" as my kid said if you use a lot the PTT button. I haven´t tested how far it can work but it sattisfied my necessities. Included rechargeable battery is just ok, ( NiMH 6 V 700ma), if you want a better lasting, you can use 4 spare AA rechargeable batteries.
