Midland GXT1000 GMRS Walkie Talkie 2 Pack - GXT1000VP4

I haven’t had time to use these other them NOAA frequency's. As a senior, I would appreciate easy to understand instructions or a video that’s easy to follow. Price for two was More than reasonable.

I bought a pair of these two years ago and primarily use them when we are offroading with friends. I'll be honest, I'm not impressed and am looking for an alternative. Setting them up is easy enough, no issues there. On High power setting they get decent reception. But on Medium or Low I feel like we have to be super close to each other, like a few hundred feet at most. And if I put it on high, there's no way I can go a day on the battery. Next gripe: The batteries take forever to charge. They aren't lithium either, so of course they don't last long. One of my biggest gripes is if you leave the radio in the charger with the charger unplugged, it will discharge the battery!!! So let's say i'm driving along charging the radio in the charger connected to the cigarette lighter plug. Then we stop to have lunch and I forget to pull the radio out of the charger, it is now more dead that when you started charging it! This exact scenario happened during our last trip to Moab. We spent the last day without radios because of the poor battery life and idiosyncrasies of charging them. No USB charge! It's 2024! I think Midlands is just milking this cow as long as they can. No improvements, no developments for many years on this radio.

I ended up winning this radio during a park cleanup day with our Jeep group, the Forest service, and the Department of Conservation. I also had a radio already in the Jeep from a different manufacturer, so it made for a neat comparison. These radios have good, clear audio and a better than average squelch response. I like the analog volume control and the fact that all the extraneous beeping can be turned off. Their range is comparable to the other radios in our group. We will likely be using them on our motorcycles since you have a helmet kit as an accessory. Would like to see USB charging as a feature or a dongle accessory that would adapt the charging port to a USB cable and it would be cool if you had a suction cup mount that would click into the belt clip mount for use in a vehicle. All in all, great radios with no real cons to speak of.

I bought these radios for my crews pulling cable and they have had nothing but good things to say about them ! They really like the larger clips so they can attach them to their harnesses. They are very clear sounding and the battery life is excellent!

We farm in east central Kansas and needed portable radios we could use for a variety of activities sometimes miles apart. These radios fit the need well. One radio with the hand microphone moves from whatever the main equipment is that day or week(s) and the other stays at home or if we are shuttling equipment around. Using RAM mounts to easily move one from tractor to tractor.

Sound is clear and crisp. I haven’t had them out in the field yet, but my short range tests have been outstanding. Looking forward to using them.

Hi, I have two Midland Two Way Radio (GXT-800) and use them. They are perfect. Thank you so much for the products you made. Now, I want to buy two more (probably GXT-1000) and two pairs again. My questions are: 1-) Can I use them together, I mean at same time (old models and new models)? 2-) I will buy two radio from your store (GXT-1000). Can I choose them as FRS or GMRS before send me? Can you setup them for me as GMRS? Thank you so much. Ilker

Prefect small radio to switch between vehicles with out needing to hardwire in something. Really like the weather built in.

GMRS Portable Radios are what my wife and I need as we travel around America.

I like the radios Out of the box. The ear peace and mic is not worth the plastic in them. I would get a different set but none of them they show look like they would fit or adjust for me .

Great radio with impressive features. I have used the handhelds for numerous reason and they are always ready to work.

Great radios so far, good clarity. It would be nice if the instructions were as clear as the sound. Someone with a lot of GMRS radio experience would probably understand them better, but some radio lingo knowledge seems to be presumed when reading the microscopic print. But all-around great little radios, once I learn how to use all the features.

I have four of these radios and only get about five or six hours of battery life on low power. I am very disappointed with the battery life.

Very nice handheld system. Work great for so there's no need to have radio in every vehicle.

I bought Midland because I used their CBS years ago; never had any problems. These were purchased for camping, hiking, biking in remote areas. I trust the quality and dependability.

Cost effective purchase for the quality of the product. Clarity in speech and responsive.

great radio for on the job. we use these radios for multiple sites

Excellent radios so far but need more time to fully evaluation distance and battery life.

The ordering process was straight forward and easy. Radio received at the time predicted and I was informed by email at each step. The radios arrived in working order, no problems. I've used midland radios for years. They are easy to set up. They always work "out of the box". Never any issues with quality. All in all, good product and fair price

No Issues, Works Great, delivery time was quick, Reasonable price
