This is an old video, but people are still reading it, so here goes: -as of 2017 these do not require a license to use. You can use all of the channels, no problem - there are no “repeater channels” on these radios. That, too, was clarified in 2017. “repeater channels are something totally different. - range is totally dependent on the environment you are in. UHF signals are “line of sight”. It doesn’t take very many buildings, trees, people, etc. to absorb the 2 watt signals (max) that these things put out. Even the way you hold them (should be held straight up) matters. Little things can make a huge difference. If a person sitting in a kayak communicates with another person sitting in a kayak the signal will go maybe 2 miles. If both parties are standing up in a canoe, the range could easily be 6 miles, as the signal is stopped in both cases by the curvature of the earth. In England a couple of guys tested a 1/2 watt radio similar to these talking from mountain top to mountain top in a clear day, with no obstructions between them. They could clearly hear each other 27 miles apart. But when walking my dog thru town, the signal struggles to go 1/2 a mile. Such is the nature of UHF low powered radios.

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.

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.

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.

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. Larry WA7ZBO/WQYC732

Define "cold". I'm Canadian, and in cold weather the speaker is very distorted. Warm it up inside your jacket for a bit, and then it starts to sound much better.
