Midland GXT710VP3 22-Channel 26-Mile GMRS 2-Way Radio (Pair)

I purchased these to use in town to be in contact with our son when he is out around the neighborhood. We use them daily. We do not use the total range they are intended for but have had great luck for what we need. The weather channel has also been great as just the other night we were out for a walk and the weather alert came on notifying us there was severe weather in the area and where is was going. Another feature that is great is that they can be put on vibrate so when one is being paged, not everyone knows and doesn't draw attention to what you are doing.

I bought this for my kids to be able to roam around the baseball or football fields and still be in contact with me. It is easy to use once it is set up but I found it a little difficult to set up. Keep in mind, I have no technical skills whatsoever but still I wish that was easier. Although, it does get GREAT distance and has good volume.

Didn't realize that one of the radios was bad, took it out for a trip, was basically a brick through the hike.

One radio was not able to receive anything over 100 ft. Back to Amazon for refund, waste of time!

I ordered these radios based on other great reviews, and to replace a set of Motorola radios we felt didn't last as long as they should.

Upon opening the Amazon box, I was astonished to see how large these Midland radios are. Remember those old two-way radios you had as a kid? These are about the same size, and look just about as clunky!

Our old Motorola units, although a bit larger than a cell phone, could easily be slipped in a pocket - there's no way in the world this Midland would fit in any pocket easily.

Since we use these while working around the house, we need something small enough to easily carry.

I'm returning these and looking for something a bit less bulky.

Although Amazon is great, I do wish they would give dimensions on items like this - instead of just box dimensions. If I'd known the size before ordering, I definitely would have kept looking!

Voice very clear. Used for my kids to stay connected in the neighborhood. Pretty clear and easy to use. Thanks.
