    Range is misleading

    Legally You are restricted on the channels can use (1-14 without a FCC license and restricted to 1/2 watt) as for GMRS (Channels 15 + ) Freq's you need a FCC License to legally operate on, Under normal conditions you are not going to get anywhere near the 36 Miles as claim.

    Works great but I need to learn how to use them. My wife was less then half a mile away and I could hear her but with lots of static. Maybe something I need to do I'm not sure.

      Obstruction plays a big role with these radios. The more line of sight the better the range. MidlandUSA

    The walkie talkies themselves are great, but my experience with Best Buy was... painful. Buy these, but buy them elsewhere.

      Please reach out to support@midlandradio.usa for a new battery set. If radios are purchased from a third party the sometimes sit on a shelf for awhile and the batteries will deplete or age. MidlandUSA
