Car Radios Installed

I read many reviews. I was aware range is an issue. I have been operating the radios in the FRS mode. Obstacles like walls and buildings absolutely reduce range. When I am using the radios at distances to a mile with few obstructions the sound is clear. So far I have not exceeded a mile. My range in a car talking to my wife in a house is reduced to 1/2 a mile at best which is not bad (IMO). Knowing this should help you understand that the range numbers are all inflated and you shouldn't expect results close to the stated maximums. I bought the radios because my wife and I are moving to a remote area with very limited cell service. I intend to stick to FRS unless I require the extra power of GMRS. The $70 license fee for 10 years does not bother me. The radios are a great value, home charger, car charger, ear phones for much quieter operation, and the options for customizing sounds, vibration and privacy are vast. Both Midland and B&H were quick to respond to my few questions. Again, no complaints.

Great product! I’m using it almost daily. Thank you also for replacing the car charger quickly which was DOA. I now own six (6) of your radios. Good performance & value too.

Used for a manufacturer installed car camera. Works perfectly.

These radios are amazing. Installed in my Jeep above my rear view mirror and I am stoked about it. It’s small enough to not be in the way but is great for communicating with fellow Jeep’s. I used the ghost antenna so that it didn’t get wiped out by limbs on the trail. I’m thinking of purchasing the 6db antenna to help increase my range. I feel you can’t go wrong with this radio! Will be purchasing another for my sons Jeep.

I use these radios out on the trail and at camp when I am not in the vehicle (where I have a MXT275 installed)--they communicate perfectly with the GMRS radios. What has been the most impressive thing about these walkies is the battery life! I have had them on for the whole weekend at camp and they still had plenty of juice left.

I’ve had the radios for about a week now. They are installed in Jeep Wranglers with the 3db ghost antenna. We live in very hilly central PA, and can communicate approximately 7 miles radio to radio. I have connected with repeaters about 27 miles away! I have ordered a 3db whip antenna from another vendor in hopes of getting better radio to radio communications in the hills and city. Over all we are happy with these. They blow CB radios out of the water, and are perfect for trail communications.

These two way radios are just what I was looking for!

I have two of these installed. One in my car, and one set up as a base station at my house with an outdoor antenna. Great range, and I'm able to keep in touch with my daughter when she's out and about in the neighborhood using a little HT. I already have a third radio on the way for a second vehicle.

I've only had the car mount installed for about a week, and that little magnet is powerful. The base has some ability to curve to your dashboard surface, which is key, and I've yet to notice any slippage of the phone when hitting bumps aggressively. Well done, Peak Design!

I bought one to try since most vent mounts have been too flimsy but I appreciate how Peak designs their products. As soon as I installed it, I went online and bought another one for my other car. Very solid!
