Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Midland GXT710VP3 26-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radio (Pair)
Customer Review: Good Radio for a cruise ship
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought six of these radios for a family cruise. I couldn't be happier with our results. The batteries had plenty of power for a long day and were always fully charged by morning. This radio has three power settings, we found that the medium setting provided enought power to cover the entire ship. One can turn off the ring tone and the beep after talk tone so it is less annoying to the other travelers. There are many options that are programable and the instructions make it a simple task.Customer Review: Worked great for our vacation communcation
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought the Midland GXT710VP3 radios for our trip to the Bahamas where we would have no cell phone service. They worked great across the entire resort, even from our hotel room, in the farthest tower, to a restaurant in the main building. Voices were clear and static was minimal. The compact charging base was easy to pack and kept the radios fully charged. We never had a dead battery issue. Can't wait to use them in the great outdoors for our camping and off-roading trips.Customer Review: Hyperbole
Summary: 2 Stars
It is my opinion that this product is much over-hyped. In order for this product to work for anything over one mile, one should expect SUPER optimum conditions; i.e. only flat land with no obstructions (trees, buildings, etc.). We've not been any place where we could even try something approaching a 26-mile range.
Shipping costs, speed of delivery, care in packaging, etc. were all excellent.
Customer Review: GMRS Radio Performance
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently purchased two Midland GXT710VP3 22-Channel GMRS 2-way Radios. I find that they operate very well. They are easy to operate and communications is good. However dont expect the 26 mile range they advertise. Like any other GMRS radio, you can expect about a four mile range under perfect conditions and in nonperfect conditions a mile or less is common. Perfect conditions is straight line.Customer Review: useful but shorter than max range
Summary: 3 Stars
Main issue is the battery indicator does not work- it says full battery till ~an hour before it dies out and then it will say 1/3 battery bars and display "lo" battery. lots of channels and settings, also has weather alerts. good as short range but longer ranges >1mile are very hard to hear. 1 mile is about the maximum limit I get in suburbs. 26 miles is unreal in any setting.
