Title: Work well, designed well.
Review: I ordered these Midland radios to replace Uniden SX409-3VP, 3-Pack, FRS Two-Way-Radios, which did not work from the start. The reception was extremely weak so as to be almost inaudible. Returned them and got these. The volume is excellent, with a knob control on top instead of a button which could be accidentally hit. They come with ear phone and microphone with a clip you can attach to clothing which is very handy so you don’t have to dig out the radio from a pocket. The weather station is a nice plus that actually works. The buttons are flush so as to make it less likely that they are pushed by accident in a pocket. Haven’t tested the range yet, but so far happy with these. I hope they last! Uniden lost a customer with their poor customer service, having refused to honor their one year warranty.

Title: Distance Matters
Review: These radios are easy to use, small, & lightweight. We used them in the mountains of Moab, Utah and they worked flawlessly. We separated across 2 mountain ridges and we could hear and be heard very crisply and clearly. I am very hard of hearing and radio messages are very hard for me to pick out. These radios transmit and receive very nicely. I heard every conversation perfectly and the batteries lasted all day (still going from sun up to sun down in June). All of the 4×4 drivers with us are so impressed, they have already ordered their own. Well done Midland.

Title: Great quality
Review: The radios work great as they should even in hilly areas for hunting. The directions are not that great.

Title: Use as a primary or backup. Great radio.
Review: I added these to my off-road vehicle which already has a Midland MXT275 GMRS radio. The MXT275 has way more range, but I added these to use when not in the vehicle or in the event I have to hike out of a situation, or when I’m just hiking or in the boat. They are super easy to use unlike some of the cheaper imports that have confusing options that you’ll never use. These are weather resistant and mine have held a long charge. They can also be recharged on trips with included USB, which I keep in my vehicle.

Title: Longer range than other portables
Review: Read the FCC filings, seemed like these legitimately pushed higher wattage than your usual radios. Seems like most comparable radios are 0.5W, and claim 38-ish miles, but in reality only go a little over 1 mile in unobstructed clear conditions. I wanted at least another mile, so took a chance on these, which appear to be about 2W, and claim 40 miles. Tested at almost 2 miles with some obstructions and they are very useable. 1.5 miles in urban environment (high obstructions) and still useable. Overall, a better powered highly portable radio. Looks to me like in order to get more out of a radio, you really start to sacrifice portability and usability, with many requiring programming. Not sure about battery life yet, I ordered spares as I will need them regardless.

Title: The Range is TERRIBLE
Review: These radios claim to have a 40 mile range. I understand that the range is impacted by many factors including obstructions. However, after fully charging and turning on the recommended mode, I was able to communicate for .10 (one tenth) of a mile before the static became significant. At .2 of a mile, the static was so loud that we could not hear one another. We tested this in our neighborhood which has single family, mainly single story homes. We could have yelled to one another and heard better. 0/10, would not recommend.

Title: Doesn’t come with mobile charger.
Review: I like the product but one big miss is that it doesn’t have a mobile charger included and I couldn’t locate one it Amazon. The manufacturer’s website does indicate that one is available, though.
