About this item
- 2-WAY RADIOS: The walkie-talkies are equipped with 36 FRS (Family Radio Service) channels, and communication options. Additionally, they offer a convenient channel scan feature that allows users to easily check for activity on different channels. For power, these walkie-talkies offer dual options. They can be powered by the included rechargeable battery pack, providing a reliable and reusable energy source. Users have the option to use 3 "AAA" batteries (not included) for flexibility.
- UP TO 30-MILE RANGE: Unlock the power of long-range communication capabilities in, unobstructed environments with minimal or no obstacles. With enhanced signal reach, these devices enable seamless and reliable connections over greater distances. Enjoy clear communication across open spaces, whether exploring vast outdoor landscapes, participating in outdoor events, or engaging in professional activities. Benefit from extended-range capabilities to stay connected, and coordinate efficiently.
- 121 CTCSS PRIVACY CODES: With privacy codes, the Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System provides a wide selection of up to 2,662 channel options. These codes offer the ability to block out other conversations, ensuring clear and interference-free communication. The walkie-talkies feature a silent operation mode, allowing users to turn off all tones and operate discreetly without any audible signals. This feature proves particularly useful in situations where silent communication is desired.
- NOAA WEATHER SCAN: Stay informed and prepared with the NOAA Weather Scan + Alert feature. With this functionality, your walkie-talkies automatically scan through 10 weather channels, identifying and locking onto the strongest weather channel available. This ensures that you receive critical updates and alerts regarding severe weather conditions. When a potential risk of severe weather is detected, the NOAA Weather Alert triggers an audible alarm, notifying you to take necessary precautions.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Before we left the U.S., I experimented with these units to see how they'd perform in a city environment. We live in Tucson. My wife stayed at home (inside the house) with one unit, and I drove away from the house with the other unit. I stopped and got out of the car at various distances away from the house. The units worked well within 1 mile. Between 1 and 1-1/2 miles, the quality of signal began to deteriorate. At 1.5 miles, it was hit and miss. Over 1.5 miles, there was no reception.
Since I knew we would never be more than a few blocks apart while we were on land on our trip, I was confident that we could depend on these walkie talkies to keep us in touch. In fact, they performed well in a number of different city and topographical environments on our trip.
At one port, our ship anchored offshore and we had to take tenders to get to shore. My wife went ashore ahead of me, and I was able to talk with her from inside our cabin while she went ashore on the tender, and then I spoke with her once she got to shore. It was great.
The only time that they failed us in an important situation, was when the batteries were too weak to transmit a strong signal. (FYI, I was using 3 fresh Energizer Advanced Lithium AAA batteries in each unit.)
IMPORTANT: When the units failed, this was the situation: Even though the battery indicator was at 3 bars while the units were in standby mode, as soon as either of us would press the PTT button (the button you press to transmit when you want to talk into the walkie talkie), the battery indicator would show the empty battery shell icon (zero bars)! Of course, we didn't know that it worked that way. (The documentation doesn't describe how this works.) We were lulled into a false sense of security by the 3 bars, while in reality, we needed to change the batteries! If you buy these walkie talkies, be sure to periodically check the battery level by pressing the PTT button so you will know the true battery level. We learned the hard way. Luckily, I knew where my wife was located when this happened, but it could have been a more serious problem if we didn't know where to look for the other person. We were on a 3 week cruise and this occurred during week three.
I didn't expect these walkie talkies to work at all on the ship due to its metal construction, but I was very happily surprised to find out they worked reasonably well, even when we were separated by several decks and while I was at the back of the ship and my wife was toward the front of the ship -- even when one of us was in our inside (no porthole) cabin at the back of the ship. They didn't always work, but they worked more often than we could have hoped for. In the cases when I wanted to find my wife and my signal wasn't reaching her, I'd just start walking through the ship and keep pressing the CALL button (it emits a loud alert signal), and eventually the signal would reach her. I never failed to find her using this technique. It was really helpful.
I can recommend these walkie talkies for the types of limited situations described above. The price I paid at Amazon was a good value for the performance we got. As far as their ability to transmit 26 miles -- dream on!!
These Midland two way radios seem to last a VERY long time (never had to charge them for even after a week and still showing full battery)! You have a lot more features and can change the power level, VOX mode, etc. and they can even scan for NOAA weather stations. Also, the reason I bought these instead of others like the Chinese ones is because they can just both be placed on the charging base to charge. No need to waste more batteries (although you can swap the battery packs out for standard AAA batteries since they have that capability). Very happy with these. I knew they came from a USA brand because I used the Cultivate extension/plugin for my Internet browser. Highly recommended.
There isn't much to add that hasn't already been said, but I would like to share what I've learned about Privacy Channels and compatibility with other radios.
These support *two* types of Privacy Channels: DCS and CTCSS. This concerned me because the set I'd used before, which was also compatible with all my friends' radios, failed to state if it was DSC, CTCSS, or something else entirely. Obviously I couldn't ask everyone to upgrade their radios, so I knew it was a bit of a leap-of-faith buying these. Fortunately they worked just fine; the radios my friends and I were using seem to use the DCS privacy system (and I suspect most single-system radios do as well).
And for those of you wondering what the difference is, here's a fantastic answer I found on Yahoo:
Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) is a means by which a receiving radio will remain silent until it receives a transmission that includes a special audio Tone. As long as this Tone is Continuously received, you will be able to hear the person who is transmitting. The 38 common Tone Codes are in the range from 67 to 250 Hertz, which are in the range of normal human hearing, but most radios filter out any frequencies below 300 Hertz from reaching the speaker.
Digital Coded Squelch (DCS) is somewhat similar, but instead of sending a continuous tone of differing frequency, a Digital data transmission is added to the radio signal. This Digital Code is transmitted at a really low rate, around 134 bits per second (the code is 23 bits long). If you could hear it in the speaker, it would sound like a pulsing low bass note. There are as many as 176 DCS codes available, although some of them are not recommended for use.
One method is not necessarily better than the other. The radios you are using have to have the same ability to send and receive the same coding signal, no matter which of the two you use. Note that a lot of people think that if you turn on one of these "privacy codes" that you will have a private channel. It is not true; anyone who turns off their codes will be able to hear your conversation, and other users can interfere with you if they transmit at the same time, even if they are using a different code..
