What's great about it: Plenty of channels for clear communication
Like the fact they are waterproof and they have been durable. Charge lasts for a decent amount of time.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Review 2 for Midland 50-Channel GMRS 2-way Radio (Pair)
i was hoping 4 better NOAA weather voice quality
Customer Rating
3.0
What's not so great: menu's and setup instructions
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.
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.
