Worked ok
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought it worked ok. Returned to get something more powerful.
I would recommend this to a friendNot as good as they say
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these to help with communication with my wife while we are in the transporting business. They are good maybe 1 mile but by 2 miles forgetaboutit. For me no good, for you and no obstructions maybe.

Posted .Hey there - the transporting business makes me think that these radios are being used inside a vehicle. If that is the case, then yes you will see decreased range because the signal has to get around the metal and glass that make up your vehicle. As with any UHF radio, you need a line-of-sight to the other radio user.
Avoid - breaks immediately

Not worth a penney
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Is so cheaply made looks like a 99 cents store product. Don’t connect bottons don’t work and the range is supposed to be 28 miles, not even two miles range. Total waist of money. Dont buy it.

WEAK!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would give it a minus if I could. Wanted to use theses on a cruise. It stated it had a range of 28 miles, All I got was barley 1/2 a mile. DONT BUY!

Posted .We are sorry to hear this. Obstruction plays a big role, if you were on a cruise ship there is a lot of obstruction with all the metal on the ship.

Do not buy, opt for a better range option
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was expecting a decent range however range was awful and short. Only communicates 1 mile range at the most. Wish I returned them but now I can’t since it outside Best Buy’s return policy
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from MidlandUSA
Posted .With the range, it could be up to 28 miles. This would vary with the terrain or any obstructions that you would be in. It could be a mile or it could be more. If there are a lot of obstructions you could also get less than a mile. It truly is dependent on the setting and we cannot guarantee a minimum distance. However, we have tested it and reached up to 28 miles - unobstructed - with this radio. Please reach out to support@midlandradio.com if we can help further.
Not working well. Try something else.
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.not working well. Kids try to connect each other but the distance is not. as mentioned.
I would recommend this to a friendShouldn't even sold on best buy
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its not what it advertises ,the range is less than a mile within city
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from MidlandUSA
Posted .The FCC allows for the maximum wattage in handheld radios to be 5 watts. A general rule for range is 1 mile per watt. Depending on the X-Talker model you have the wattage is between under 1/2 watt-1.8 watts. The X-Talkers average 1/4-1/2 mile. The extreme ranges can be reached in perfect conditions such as over water or mountain top to mountain top. If you are needing more range than the walkies are providing you the Midland Customer Experience Ambassadors would be happy to help with recommendations and check into a warranty replacement or exchange for you.

Dont go to far
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does no even reach a 1/2 a mile but product says 28 miles
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNext...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Did not work well for us on a cruise ship but was our 1st attempt using radios. Gave up trying.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from MidlandUSA
Posted .Honestly, cruise ships are going to be difficult for any UHF walkie talkie due to the steel that makes up the ship. If you are on different floors the signal is going to have a hard time getting to you. Most people have luck using our GXT1000 series radios since they are more powerful.
Great for very short distances
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had to return this because it didn't preform within three miles of my house...
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDo not recommend to anyone.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These talkies really suck, the range is less than a mile and the sound is HORRIBLE, I mean, talking under water with someone sounds better. i was surprised because i love Midland, im mean i have several of there walkies, but this one never again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendWorks within a straight line, short range distance
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Useless on a cruise ship unless you are on the same level & close proximity. Might work ok on land.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot impressed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They barely work a mile away from each other, but you get what you pay for.

Posted .Obstructions, materials and environment all play a role in radio signal. Three ranges from small to large are displayed on the packaging. If you are dissatisfied with performance please reach out to support@midlandradio.com. The support staff will help determine if you need a different model radio or it is a manufacturing issue.
