    Great product except for the earpiece. Had issues adjusting and after messing with it, it broke off. Its not comfortable but it serves its purpose.

    36 mile range is ridiculous. Had 1 of us in the house and it wouldn't work when we tried 300 yards down a straight road in the neiborhood. They'll say you have to be on flat ground in the desert to get 36 miles once you complain, but why won't the put it in the product description so we don't fall for deceiving claims and have to return them? Also tried the 38 mile Midland version which was just as poor. Great if you want to talk to your kids in the other room, but not much more.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      I hear your frustrations with the range of your radios and there are graphics on the back of the package illustrating how environments can affect range. If you are not happy with the radios you have the Customer Experience will be glad to discuss options with you. MidlandUSA

    i was hoping 4 better NOAA weather voice quality

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    it works fine. i'm not a demanding user, just use it around the 10 acre property so i am not able to test it's distance capability too well. And I dont use the headsets pros: 1. seems to hold a charge fairly well and thr voice transmission quality seems fine for the short distances i use it. cons: 1. one of the two units has a microphone that seems to take longer to activate than the other and always cuts off the first words of a transmission to the other unit. 2. i did buy for the NOAA weather alerts also, and the quality of the channels is pretty bad where i live. It might not be a function of this unit, I may just be too far from the nearest broadcast station, but i was hoping for better since this is tornado area. 3. navigating the menu's and trying to follow the instructions in the manual is too hard. i followed instructions to enable the weather, but then took me quite a while to set both radio's to a secure channel to talk. i'm not sure i ever got the privacy codes or group codes to work. but the 2 radios communicate and i havent heard anyone else on the channel so that is probably good enough. Needs an online manual where descriptions can be more detailed with pictures. Better yet, take a lesson from those inexpensive car diagnostic pods which have complex menus but seem so much more intuitive than the setup on these units.

    Like the fact they are waterproof and they have been durable. Charge lasts for a decent amount of time.
