This review is from: Midland G-18C 5-Mile 15-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radio (Electronics)

The Midland G-18 (mine was actually labeled G-11) is a great GMRS radio. Key features include a removable antenna that allows the use of either an improved portable device antenna or a mobile antenna for improved range and easy to access scanning functions. It is easy to program and has a lot of flexibility with respect to battery power (rechargeable/alkaline and AA/AAA). A great radio for those wanting a GMRS radio with more "commercial" features. Urban range with 4 AAA batteries and a good aftermarket antenna is a solid 2 miles which is very good for this type of radio. They are now hard to find but worth it if you are looking for a small, lightweight GMRS that is cheaper that then the Mil-Spec commercial units (ICOM, Motorola, etc).
