Midland GXT740VP3 42-Channel 34-Mile GMRS with NOAA All Hazard /Weather Alert, Rechargeable Batteries, and Dual Desktop charger (Pair)

I wasn't expecting too much for the price, but was thoroughly impressed by nearly every aspect of these 2ways. Most notably the battery life. I was able to use them for about 9 hours straight without recharging! My only snag was with the set up, which I expected to be easier. To be fair, I jumped in without reading the manual, I usually get away with that, but not so much this time. All in all, I would highly recommend for casual use and for entry level two way fun!

The Midland GXT740VP3 walkie-talkies are a solid product - provided there are few obstructions between you and the other person using them. Hills, trees, buildings, etc. will shorten their usable distance dramatically - to about 2 or 3 miles. Oh, and don't loose the manual or your cooked! Other than that, their great.
