User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Great for the Price
First of all the range in normal city conditions is no more than a single mile. I havent tried it in the desert but in the city its 1 or 2 miles tops.

That is normal with ALL GMRS radios so get over it.

Very good features for the price but would of have loved VOX. Feels very solid.

4 Stars Radio Fun
Good radio for recreational use. We took them camping and they worked on all the trails in the park. Clear conversation for up to two miles. We were in granite rocky areas with no interference. Compatible with our other two ways as well.

2 Stars What a waste!
These units have lasted a whopping 7 months. Initially, they were great…held a charge; great reception; easy to handle. Now, they have to be recharged daily even though we have them on standby for only 1 hour daily. They have not been dropped or abused. They stink. I rated them two stars for the ease of use and handling ONLY.

2 Stars Not Quite A 22 Mile Range
I used the radios on high power channels last week on a cruise ship and there was so much static that I sounded like the Verizon guy, can you here me know? I know the packaging states that 22 miles is under the best conditions, I would have hoped they would work well for 1000 feet. I gave them 2 stars only because of the battery life lasted for a whole week (with minimal use) without having to recharge.

3 Stars not 20 miles or even close
I thought even in the mountains,I would get some distance using these. I live in a valley and all of the area around me is higher so I figured I would get 5-10 miles at least. I cannot get a signal past 200 yards so although the signal is good around the house, these are worthless for any distance past 200 yards

If you are looking for very close communication these are fine but for anything over that distance KEEP LOOKING THESE ARE NOT FOR YOU

5 Stars Great Radios
I think these are great radios because they go very long but not 26 miles.

Also because they have a built-in NOAA Weather radio and that could come in handy. They have 22 channels, a long battery life, battery

packs and charger. Although they are very expensive. Usually I use them

with my friends when I am outside and they are inside.

5 Stars great product for the price
these units are very easy to use,range is good but no way will it reach 26 miles

4 Stars worked ok
They worked good in big open space but of course don’t expect them to work the same when there are obstacles between them. Also, the advertised range is a little exaggerated…

4 Stars Midland Radio
Works as I expect. Reasonable range for neighborhood use. 2-3 miles with lots of obstructions present.

4 Stars Helped us when lost
These radios worked awesome for hiking and communicating to a lost party through dense forest and often no direct line of site miles away. I was very impressed. Although we were within 5 miles(most likely). We did have to switch to a different channel to get a better signal.
