Customer Reviews

Nice radios but no 26 mile reception
Nice radios but forget about 26 mile reception, i like the feel of the radios and the weather broadcast is nice.

Midland GXT800
Excellent Product. The communication is very clear. More clear than my cell phone. I was not able to get a lot of communication distance, but I do live up in the hills where even cell phone service can be touch and go. I was pleased to find that the provided batteries were already charged when I opened the package.

Powerful and well made radios
I bought these radios for use by the administrator of our condominium to keep in touch with maintenance personnel. We are very pleased with their performance. The radios are well made and powerful. Unlike many who buy radios, we are not interested in long distance communication but communication with employees working inside heavily reinforced concrete buildings. We have experienced no problems in this regard. The administrator in her office can communicate with maintenance employees working in 3 story apartment buildings a quarter to half mile away. These buildings are overbuilt if anything, using concrete and rebar. If the radio can penetrate those walls, it should be able to penetrate almost anything. We also have a couple of the earlier GXT600 units and they work well, too.
