Few points I would like to add. You can get backlit two way radios from Midland. The weather radio is also something you can listen to any time you wish on the Midland radios tested in this video. There is also an emergency alert mode that will automatically interrupt with a weather alert if it is in your area. Finally, the walkie talkie mic was picking up the noise of the pouring rain from inside my car.
I looked at all of them thay have no tech seport can be linked to a repeter by the knpad on the frunt no extra junk just radios 150.oo each on the H T's and 250 for a base

what you have in your hand is a pair of 1/2 watt 1/4 mile or line of site child locters that's it one block wall between radios will stop you cold, I have three hand held's and thay all do the same even when I tryed from my 12 floor to ground no luck.
you get what you pay for it is a 2 mile one and one half watt child locateer with leash and coler with mission control on the end PS you buy them at the truck stop or any ware there is no saport no tec seport eather mine have both sold at real radio store and real radio people mine also don't have stuped buttons eather rugged radio check them out worth your money also have a 45 watt for your truck.
you get what you pay for my radios went for $150.each and my company did not put the securty codes in as off road people don't need them so thay where left out
Hello there. Awesome video! I am getting these radios. Could you please send me the link to your update video of these radios? I’m not able to really find it in your channel. Thanks very much for your time.
No updates but I will make one soon. These were used quite a bit over the summer with no issues. They have a good vehicle to vehicle line of sight range of close to 1 mile. Battery life is solid with AAA alkalines.
We used them for a road trip helping my friends move from Dallas, TX to Lincoln, NE and had at least a solid mile range as long as we had a line of sight with each other. Batteries lasted about 4 hours in each radio but that was with near constant blabber. I used them for a range day last summer and with just normal use I got all day battery life at the end of the day from them.
They were awesome! We only used AAA batteries from Costco (Kirkland brand) in them. For just basic use at the range where we hosted our event, we had all 3 on all day and the batteries had not hit 50% by the end of the day. On a road trip that I had last summer driving fom Dallas to Nebraska to help my friend and his family move, we burned through two sets of alkalines in each walkie talkie over 12 hours but it was constant conversation. Battery life is really gonna depend of how much constant use you have.
It would help if you demonstrate how to charge the walkie talkies............we bought a set yesterday and the usb ports don't fit the base AND the top of the walkie talkie. The base has a place for a very skinny usb plug, the other end of the cord is a wider plug. The instructions say to plug the other end of the cord into the top of the walkie talkie where the rubber piece opens up......but the plug under the rubber piece is a very very tiny plug spot..........the wide usb plug does NOT fit into there. So we can't figure out HOW to charge these things.
You get two cables with the kit that I bought. The small end of one of those cables plugs into the small USB port on the back of the base. The larger end plugs into your power source. Once you do that you can charge the walkie talkies in the base. The other option is to charge the walkie with the included cable and skip the base unit all together. On the walkie talkie, just below the send/talk button, there is a small flap that opens and you can plug the small end of the charge cable into it. The larger end of the charge cable goes into your power source. What sucks is that they don’t give you the adapter to plug into your electrical socket.
Am I supposed to take the white plastic off the batteries that came in the package? You used your own I think but can I use these ones? What is better? I’m so confused lol
Hello there. Do you know how to turn the beeps down. I understand that you can turn the beep on and off, same as the Roger beep. However, the beeps are quite loud. On the main screen, I understand you can turn the volume up and down when someone talks to you. I have not found a way to turn the beep down. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
@@shaunteckno ok, so I best I can do is tell you how to turn on the mode called “silent operation”. This will mute all beeps and tones are disabled. Press the menu button, until the display shows the “bP” icon, select “on” or “of” by pressing the arrow up or down key and push the PTT key or Menu button. That is what my instruction manual says to do.

the emergency alert is not that it just makes your radio ring like your
smart phone or your phone at home.
I have no idea how to change the batteries. I’ve been playing with this thing for about 40 minutes. Very frustrating help
I got it you have to push down in the center top. Just push down the release and slide it but it’s a pain in the ass.

Worked great on your drive, but I'm sure you know that now. Thanks for the review. Looking forward to the longer term test results
I may try to do some long distance tests with it once the weather clears up. It’s good to know they are functional over short distances
all family service sold today run on a 1/2 watt at a 1/4 mile or line of site
DON'T forget to reach out to the F C C for that licensee you need
to come and play tower bounce with us
you 28 miles come with a LICENSE FOR G M R S which i have since june and my radio was linked to
6 repeter's in three county's
Good to know! Thanks!
These are definitely going to come in handy at Thunder on the Prairie. Great video and review.
Absolutely and thank you for watching!
as long as you are a mile apart as that is the range of the radio
becouse of the 1/2 a watt transmiter power
what you have in your hand is a pair of 1/2 watt 1/4 mile or line of site child locters
that's it one block wall between radios will stop you cold, I have three hand held's
and thay all do the same even when I tryed from my 12 floor to ground no luck.
Break 1-9 for a radio check. Oh wait. That's CB talk.
Good test Travis.
Yeah we are runnin’ a convoy out here on ole Interstate 80…
your car will block half of your transmission only going through the windows

read the book or buy recharge able battery's an charge them in a sepert charger
How do you put in the rechargeable batteries
fallow the pateren on the bottom of the tray one up one down
also fallow along in the book under battery's.
Am I supposed to take the white plastic off the batteries that came in the package? You used your own I think but can I use these ones? What is better? I’m so confused lol
The batteries that come pre wrapped are rechargeable. They should pop right in and charge in the dock.
Depending on how much you use the handsets I’ve always found that regular alkaline batteries work better.
Thank you 🙏🏾
@@ashavocado2986 glad to help!
charge extra battery's and bring along with

@@travisp11 OK, thanks. That’s what I figured I might have to do. Thanks very much for looking. I really appreciate it.
Also can I put this on high power mode?
Do you know how to put it on high power mode? I can’t find any instructions anywhere
the high power comes with a license for g m r s side
that would be the second channel 15 through 22 is G M R S
F R S is a 1/2/watt side
Do not bother breaking your nails while trying to remove the Battery Cover! There's no USB C Port!
There is a micro USB port
