5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Geocaching, March 28, 2009

By	Jack R. Isbell "Sierra Jack" (Chester, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm a geocacher who lives in Northern California. There are times when my searche for caches will take me deep into the woods and around and over cliffs in the Sierra Nevadas. My wife, not as willing as I to climb over rocks and crawl under brambles, will wait in the car until I come back. However, there are times when I lose track of time while looking for a cache and this worries her. I agreed to get a pair of radios so she could contact me during the search and not have to worry that I may have been hurt. While I don't go out 30 miles during these excursions, I do travel through some deep forests, down valleys and around hill tops. In all of these cases, the radios have performed flawlessly. There is no static (which I was used to with CB radios) and we do not have any problems staying contact. This gives me more search time for my caches and lets her worry less. For this type of usage, I can highly recommend these radios. However, I can't address how well they might perform at five mile plus ranges, others will have to address this area.

5.0 out of 5 stars MIDLAND GXT775VP3 WALKI-TALKIE RADIOS, January 20, 2009

By	Glenn T. Jenkins (greenfield, tn) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased a pair of these 30 mile range walki-talkies and they more than met my expectations. They work well even in wooded areas as well as in rolling terrain. Also, the rechargeable batteries hold a charge a long time while on stand-by.

I would recommend these radios for anyone looking for units that are rugged as well as functional.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Gift, July 7, 2009

A Kid's Review

I bought this for my husband who has been "making do" with an old worn out weather radio. The weather stations work well. We also use it as a walkie talkie when we are out and about. Perfect gift!!!!
