Overview
Midland built this two-pack of handheld GMRS radios around fifty channels and a long list of privacy codes. Weather alerts from NOAA and an SOS function are included, and the case is rated JIS4 water resistant.
Two matched radios arrive ready for campsites, trail groups and job sites, with rechargeable cells for repeated use. The range figure is a ceiling that terrain and buildings will cut well short of, and the listing gives no charger details.
Who it's for
Families on trails, event staff and small work crews who want simple handhelds with a built-in weather channel. Silent operation and keypad lock help in noisy or pocket carry. Anyone wanting a specific license-free service should confirm GMRS requirements first.
Pros and cons
- Weather alert and SOS built in
- Water resistant JIS4 housing
- Keypad lock and silent operation
- Rechargeable nickel battery included
- Range figure is an upper-limit claim
- Charger details not described
- GMRS use has regulatory requirements
Performance notes
Real range depends on line of sight, terrain and the power the radio transmits, so the long distance figure applies to open ground only. Privacy codes reduce unwanted chatter from other users on the same channel, but they do not make a call private. Battery life depends on how often you transmit.
