Midland Xtra Talk GXT300VP3 10-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radio (Pair) |
Rating: 3 (out of 5)
Summary: Midland GXT300 Radios
Comments: These radios seem to work well. The voice clarity is excellent. I have motorolas, as well. I think the sound is as great, or better with Midland. The range is great, though I never get close to the 8 miles advertised. Any hill between you will block the communication, as seems true of any of these radios. My motorolas with only 1 watt, seem to have about the same range, and longer battery life.
What I do not like about these, is the fact that when the battery dies, it will not hold the settings. The channel reverts back to "1", regardless of the channel you were on. The battery meter seems useless. On motorola, it is displayed continuously, on Midland it apparently only comes on as it dies, not to helplful, there!!!!
When it comes to handsfree use, I like the Motorola earbuds much better than the headset Midland offers.
The supplied battery pack is not great. Mine lasted a year of occasional use, then wouldn't hold a charge. Duracell AA rechargeables work well in it though.
All said, it is a great radio, however I tend to like the features of the Motorolas better. |
