Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)These radios work very well in the thick woods of northern Wisconsin. They work for up to about 2 miles. Compared to the Motorola 1 watt radios which only worked over a distance of about 1/2 mile they are much better. For all of the people who don't like these, first of all manufacturer claims of 5, 10, and even more miles of reception are not realistic unless perhaps you are out on the open waters of the great lakes with excellent atmospheric conditions. That is just the nature of all radios of this type. A few watts (5 watts in this case)will not get you very far. Just consider that your average nite lite bulb runs on 4 watts and this will help you to put it into perspective. These radios need to convert your voice transmissions into sound so for them to do it over a distance of 2 miles in thick woods and do it loud enough so that you can hold a conversation is a pretty good accomplishment in my book. In other words, if your radio does not work up to your expectations then a. you need to realize that it is the laws of physics, energy, and matter that govern their performance and b. of course companies tout the virtues of their product under excellent conditions i.e. that's marketing so get used to it. You get what you pay for. Considering what I paid for these I would recommend them to everyone. They are an excellent purchase. I'm buying 2 more. By the way the only reason I gave them 4 stars and not 5 stars is the fact that Midland advertises them as having 18 miles of reception. I've heard of marketing (see point b. above) but even to me this is a bit much.
