Dog rescue
I bought these originally for our family when we might go camping. We never really had a chance to use them. This past weekend, our dog was lost on a mountain and we used this to coordinate with each other. We did not have cell phone service, so it was really helpful to have. Range was great! Good quality! Easy to use! The one thing to be careful about is attaching it to your waistband. We lost one because we were navigating really thick brush and it was attached to the waistband using the clip provided. You may want to attach it through a belt loop.

Works as described
So far so good. Works well. Haven’t pushed the range limits yet. My only issue is when I set my walkie down next to my car stereo, it tends to pick up static from my radio as if someone’s trying to communicate with me

Battery not long lasting
The battery does not work well. The first week I used it for 10 hours, but now it does not work for three hours. It has been with me for almost two weeks and I am unable to return it.

Questions & Answers

What Is the range in a concrete zone for example a suburban neighborhood
I live in a pretty rural area and out in the open the range was 2miles. Faldo advertisement with the 28 mile claim
Answered 7 years ago by Morgs
Will these work with an existing group of radios? The nursery I work at has some, but not enough radios.
Yes - if the are your typical commercial-off-the-shelf radios purchased in any department or sporting goods store. These "walkie-talkies" are "FRS/GRMS" Radios. Family Radio Service (FRS) and General Mobile Radio Service (GRMS) use unlicensed frequencies in the 462 to 467 MHz range (UHF). You need to set all of the radios to the same channel (these have 7 FRS channels and 15 GRMS channels) with the channel selector on each radio. Additionally, since these also have a privacy code selector -- all radios need to have the same privacy code selected. Or, if some radios do not have a privacy code -- leave it deselected. It is easy to select channel and privacy code - just follow the menu on the radios. While these say "up to x miles" of range coverage -- the range you will experience depends heavily on terrain (e.g, the more hills or mountains - the less range), interference from other radio sources, and the strength of your battery.

Can regular batteries be used in these
each radio comes with its own rechargeable battery pack. if you wish to use individual batteries instead of the rechargeable battery pack, each radio will require 3 AAA batteries. these work really well for keeping in contact with my children on the farm.

Is it possible to buy two or more sets and use them all on the same channel to communicate between 4-6 people?
Yes, you definitely can. My family are using two sets right now, interchangeably.
Answered 2 years ago by Vorchek
I bought 2 sets of the 28 mile range midland walkie talkies, installed the batteries and charged according to manufacturers instructions. Batteries went dead in less than 2 hours. What’s up with that?
I’ll answer my own question. I called Midland and they said batteries should last 6-8 hours at least. They were very helpful and sent me new battery packs. I have always had good luck with Midland products. Thanks
