MIDLAND LXT340VP3 20-Mile Two-Way Radio

As a wedding consultant/coordinator, I knew I needed to be able to communicate with my staff to make the event run smoother and in case of emergencies no matter where we were doing the ceremony/reception. After looking at many similar products I decided to take a chance on Midland and the surveillance earplugs. I must say it is great! My friend has a similar product, but hers does not measure to the radius and clarity of mines. Great investment!

My 11 yr. old loves these. They will not go 20 miles but I really didn't expect them to. They work great for around the yard and in big stores where cell phones won't work.

So far this has been the better pick for a relatively inexpensive walkie talkie as compared to a more expensive Motorola purchased last year. Clear voice.

A real quality product.Gave it to my Great Grandson as a birthday gift. He and his brothers love it.

I bought the MIdland LXF340 to use with my family on a pleasure cruise. Only after I unwrapped the package and read the instruction book did I find out that one needs an FCC license to use this radio in high power. Forget the long range and the large number of channels. Unless you have a license, you are restricted to channels 8 to 14 at low power.

Secondly, when on in standby mode, the radio emits an irritating static burst every three to five seconds. I was unable to determine why it does this but it doesn't sound like someone else in the vicinity trying to transmit on the same channel.

Needless to say, I returned the radios and got my money back. I will be very reluctant to buy another Midland product.
