    We've been using an inexpensive set of Uniden radios like these for years. Without recharge ability. You would be surprised just how often you find yourself without cel service. These have always done the job. Might be time to upscale to these newer models though. We do have some of the larger Midland as well as a couple of their base sets in the truck and garage. Always liked Midlands equipment.

    thanks for the video, it helped me clarify the directions on the smaller version of radios i just purchased. FYI - early in the video you said that AA Batteries were required, then mentioned AAA later. I would think the latter would be correct due to the small size which are slightly larger than mine.

    • @cargovankilla

    So what is the difference between the Midland GXT1050VP4 and the X-Talker other than the GXT1050 is 5 Watts GMRS? Would it not make more sense to buy the 5 watt radio? I am shopping and am confused. I called Midland and the lady I spoke to suggested the GXT1050 for distance. If someone could tell me why the X-Talker would be a better buy, I would appreciate it before I pull the trigger on buying one.

      Think of the codes as a phone number on a shared line. If your family wants to ignore others on the line, you set a talk code. Other without a code can hear you, but you can't hear them.

    I got a set of Cobra microTalk CXT595s. They say 28 miles range, but that's really only for open water or extremely flat land with nothing blocking a signal. Keep in mind the "privacy" channels are kinda a gimic. Mine has 121 "privacy" codes, but all they do is allow your party to hear one another on that code. Anyone who has the privacy code turned off can hear you if they're using the same channel. I keep mine in my car at all times, mainly for weather and emergency situations. My buddy and I have gotten a couple miles away from eachother and we were still able to communicate. Thanks for sharing, I kind of like these better than my Cobra's for a hunting use. Take care Ben. Thanks for the review.

      the 28 miles requires a F C C radio licensee and the radio will talk to a tower

  • @larryjacobs9761
    @larryjacobs9761 8 лет назад +2

    Two things
    1) If you put the radios on low power you can use them on all FRS channels, 1 - 14. Better yet, get your GMRS license and stay on high power.
    2) You should explain the added channels. They are not new frequencies but rather repeats of the original 22 channels with hardwired in DTCSS or DCS squelch privacy codes. Such as channel 23 is actually channel 1 with CTCSS 250.3 preprogrammed. Channel 31 is FRS/GMRS channel 2 with DCS 23 preprogramed. This makes switching channels with your group super easy without making everyone program codes.
