Motorola 2 Way Radios 35 Mile Range

Great little radios, so far. Good range relative to similar Motorola Talkabouts.

Great pair of radios an upgrade to my previous ones that only had a 3 mile range

These are Great radios!  They give about 1 mile of very strong coverage in normal use.  The max range is about 6 miles due to the curvature of the earth.  Only getting higher off the ground will increase range.  They are very clear and can run off of AA batteries if you need longer life than the rechargeable ones that come with the radios.  Very useful in photography situations where you need to converse with subjects that are too far away.  There are only 22 channels, the others are just different channel and privacy code combinations.  Just remember these are not private channel radios.  People can hear what you are saying if they are in range.  The privacy codes are to make it where you dont hear other conversations.  They do not stop people from hearing you.  These are the radios to buy!

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.

I bought 4 of these Midland Two-Way Radios about a month ago. They preformed perfectly within our business operations on the road. The talk range is extremely far considering the size of these radios. They seem to take a lot of wear and shock without damage. I really like the traditional talk button location on the side of the radios, as other brand radios don't do anymore.

Haven’t had time to really stretch them out. But probably about a mile or so and seem to work great. Also ordered Motorola T465. They can communicate with each other. Plan on putting them both to the test to see who wins. So far. Happy with both.

Radio's seem to be well made. We have tried the radios around the neighborhood and they work very well. Went testing, we were 1/4 to 1/2 mile apart and the reception was good.

I use Motorola radios for communication between crewmembers when on video shoots. When our hands are otherwise occupied with cameras, lighting, and audio, this remote speaker/mic makes portable radios more efficient and useful. This product works perfectly, with good transmission and reception.

2nd set of Midland radios. Great quality and value.

Radios were just what I was looking for. Good range and well worth the price.
