    After 3 weeks of having them one of the radios drains the battery in less than 5 minutes after charging the battery completely. It’s useless to have 1 working radio.

    Bought to help with our move using 2 vehicles. The battery drains very fast, like 2 hrs or less., i had to keep it charged. Figured it will not do us good if going hiking and unable to charge. I returned mine.

      Hey there,
      I just wanted to comment that there is a large difference in the environment of a vehicle to vehicle communication with UHF radios like these and the environment for hiking. FRS radios require line-of-sight to the other radio user. When used in a vehicle the signal has to get out around the metal and glass that make up that vehicle. That will reduce the range and will cause your battery to work harder, therefore discharging faster. When you are hiking the fixed antenna of the radio is not blocked in the same way as it is in the vehicle. You will see much better range and better battery life when using them for hiking.

    Awful product, doesn’t work. It charges fully, one of them appears to make a static sound the other is dead. Can’t even return it within 30 days, only within two weeks. Bad deal.

    These are basically kids radios. Radios don’t work 1 mile out on flat land without obstructions. Great for jeepers that are right behind you but not for my intended purpose.

      Please reach out to support@midlandusa.com if you are unsatisfied with the performance of your radios. The x-talkers have an average range of 1/2-1 mile range in normal environments. The support team would be happy to help provide options. MidlandUSA

    The items did not perform as advertised. I got a range less than 1 mile in urban settings, and no greater range across open land and water. The item, therefore, did not meet my needs as it was advertised as being useful for several miles.

      Please reach out to support@midlandusa.com if your radios are not performing for your needs. Range is affected by environment and obstructions, which is illustrated on the package. 1 mile in normal conditions is average for this radio. MidlandUSA
