 Excellent, durable transceiver November 29, 2007

Out of 4 sets of FRS/GMRS radios I've had over the last 10 years, these, by far, are the best. They are well made and powerful (for a GMRS radio). The ability to customize the units through the settings is very good. The only very, very minor downside is the slightly recessed PTT button. It makes it slighty more difficult to push the button and can take a while to get used to. Midland likely did this to prevent accidental transmissions. Again, you won't go wrong getting this set.
A real deal at any price... October 31, 2007

These units work as described, are lightweight and easy to use and have decent range (especially considering their size).
Great reception and signal strength October 15, 2007

I purchased these radios to communicate between cars when our Corvette club takes cruises. We recently got back from a trip to the Berkshire Mts of Western Massachusetts. We had no difficulty talking to one another at distances up to 2 miles and in the mountain terrain. The radios performed exactly as advertised.
 Waterproof radio for bike to bike communication October 5, 2007

I purchased this radio mainly to be used as a way to talk to other motorcycles. Initially it was tricky to adjust the VOX as I had 2 - the one on the radio and the one on the bike communicator that the radio connects to. But once I got both adjusted it seem to work ok but I wouldn't say perfect. Two of my friends had Motorolas and those seem to work well, but those were not waterproof.
One of the main reason I picked this model was that it is advertised as waterproof, but so far I did not get a chance to test that feature.
Another thing to be aware is batteries. It seem to use them fairly quickly. On an all day ride I used almost 2 sets. Luckily it also uses AA but that can get expensive, and in my case carrying a bulky charger is not my first option. I wish they had a compact cell phone type charger available. Charging time also seems long at 12 hrs. I guess I'll get a set of rechargeable AA's.
Radios seem to be well built and of good quality.
