Midland Outfitter Series GXT1050VP4 50-Channel 36-Mile Waterproof 2-Way GMRS Radio with NOAA All Hazard /Weather Alert, Rechargeable Batteries, Dual Desktop charger 12 Volt Vehicle Adapter and 2 Headsets (Pair, Mossy Oak )

Product was better then expected. I have bought various radios before including Cobra and wasted my money on these poor performers which will not reach out as they claim.

This product does the job. My hunting buddy just ordered one and is glad he had seen mine and tried it out and was impressed with the features.

He is now a proud owner of this product as well as I am.

I purchased these to upgrade from my old Icom FRS radios which were well built (Japan) but not enough range. These have some nice features such as NOAA weather channels, ability to use 4aa batteries when the battery pack depletes, dual channel scan and two types of squelch codes CTCSS and DCS. Some of the features were not very useful to us but nice to know they're there if ever needed. I liked the silent option. I understood that there was no way they would do 36 miles. I just wanted a useful way of calling back to camp. From mtn top to valley we got 7 miles. We even achieved a signal from my lost partner headed up the wrong valley 3/4 miles on the dark side of the mtn. If you understand how radio waves work you can use these to their fullest extent. My old FRS radios worked out to 18 miles hill to hill. So these should work just fine. One con is the squelch crack at the end of transmission, not good if you want stealth.
I would recommend these..

These worked well right out of the box. Range in a suburban, densely populated area is about half a mile. I loved the camo appearance and the head sets that came with the unit. These are much better than the previous Motorola units I own.

These radios are great quality and offer a crisper, clearer sound than others I have used. I've only had them "in the field" for about 3 weeks, but so far they've held up to everything I've asked of them. Recommended!

I haven't used the item yet but I have used Midland for many years.
My expectations will be met, I have no doubt
