4 Stars Good radio’s
I haven’t used the item yet but I have used Midland for many years.
My expectations will be met, I have no doubt
5 Stars GXT1050VP4 50 Channel
This radio set is very nice and easy to use, it comes in handy while hunting when it is a two person trip and also very nice to be able to comunicate when needed. Range is not as advertised due to its size so that was not an issue. I was very happy with the results of this set and look forward to many more years of use with this during hunting season and other projects.
3 Stars Midland Outfitter Series GXT1050VP4
The Midland Outfitter Series GXT1050VP4 is no better then any other radios I have used. The GMRS side of the radio will not let you work repeaters for those that are licensed for this service. Range is a joke and the audio could be better the drop in charger only shows when the radios are charging but the light remains on after the battery is fully charged unlike the Talkabout Motorola radios I own. I feel this could shorten the battery life as they are always charging. I called Midland and they told me to charge the radios 8-10 hours max so I don’t over charge and damage the batteries. You can not adjust the squelch on these radios as one radio does not hear as well as the other. Another call to Midland was of no help.On the plus side the ear microphones work well and the display is readable day and night.
4 Stars Midland 1050
I purchased this product for hunting purposes. Having the 650 and 850 series, I bought the 1050′s to keep up with longer tranmissions. While the 1050 series transmits at longer ranges it doesn’t come close to the 36 miles range as advertised. The furthest transmission was 18 miles. I suppose the key word in the product description “is under ideal conditions!”. I would love to know what an ideal conditon is. Standing on the Moon with no obsticals in the way? Having the planets all aligned?
Despite my grumblings about never being in ideal conditions, the 1050′s are satifactory and a well built product.
Maybe Midland could come out with a two way that transmits out to a hundred miles, therefore achieving a 36 mile transmission claim!
4 Stars great units a 4 1/2 star review
Really like these for clarity
easy of use and charging
headset comfort and usability
range, size, overall feel.
The only thing I would improve is the Vox (voice activation) there is a general lag so you have to get used to losing the first word you say to open the mic…then its crystal clear after that.
Best feature would being able to charge them in the truck with the 12volt and maybe the cradle holder as it makes the truck charging even more convenient.
