Amazon.com Product Description
The Midland GXT710VP3 22-Channel 26-Mile GMRS 2-Way Radio Pair Pack with Rechargeable Batteries and Charger represents the state-of-the-art in high-tech engineering, for a compact package that is big in performance. Skillfully constructed with the finest components, the Midland GXT710 is built with all solid-state circuitry mounted on a rugged, printed circuit board to provide you with reliable and trouble-free performance for years to come. The Midland GXT710 radio provides you with 22 GMRS/FRS (General Mobile Radio Service/Family Radio Service) UHF channels, and up to a 26-mile range in open territory. In addition to the 22 possible channels, the GXT710 comes with 121 privacy codes to lessen interference or eaves-dropping, as well as all 10 NOAA weather channels and a NOAA weather alert function. These powerful radios have an easy-to-read backlit LCD display that shows status information at a glance even in difficult lighting, and a large easy-to-use keypad on the front for one-touch access to important features. The GXT710 radio is full of features such as an outgoing call alert to notify your intended receiver of incoming traffic, and five incoming call alerts to identify various senders. This radio also features a channel scan for locating active channels, an auto squelch for filtering out weak signals, and a vibrating alert for use in both quiet and noisy environments. This unit provides High, Medium and Low power settings so you can choose to maximize transmission distance or save power, and a VOX function with selectable levels for voice-activated, hands-free transmissions. The GXT710 also includes keystroke tones, a roger beep that confirms transmission conclusion, and a silent operation for quieting beeps, tones and alerts when you can't afford to make extra noise. Midland's GXT710 radio is constructed to be water resistant, so it can be used in most any environment, and has a keypad lock to avoid accidentally changing the radio settings. This radio runs on a Midland 4.8-volt rechargeable NiMH battery pack that can be recharged while in the radio, or can be powered by four AAA batteries during extended trips. This unit also includes a battery life extender function, as well as a low-battery indicator so you never get caught offguard without power. The GXT710 comes with a speaker/microphone/headset/charging jack so you can use it with an external speaker or microphone, or a pair of headphones, and recharge your battery pack when not in use. The Midland GXT710VP3 pack comes with two radios, each with a belt clip for convenient carrying or hands-free use, as well as two rechargeable NiMH battery packs, an AC wall adapter, and a dual radio desktop charger. These radios are even backed by a manufacturer's three-year warranty. What's in the Box

 Works but you can't change the batteries without breaking it. October 25, 2008
D. Flak (North Carolina)
As far as RF goes the handsets work well. However, I bought them as a saftey measure as I crawled under the house to do repairs while spouse remained outside monitoring the frequency.
The buttons are located so that as you press up against things (almost impossible not to do in a crawlspace) you can change channel or turn it off (both of which I did) inadvertantly. Also if you grab it the wrong way, you can change settings without intending to. It works great as long as you are very careful handling it.
I decided to store the radios since I do not have frequent use for them. I thought it would be a good idea to take the batteries out. I looked at the owner's manual that told me to push down on the release lock and push up on the belt clip. Pushing down on the release lock did not release the belt clip. So after my wife and I spent about an hour each trying to figure it out, I tool a screwdriver and pried the blet clips off. After that removing the batteries took a matter of seconds.
It's good to see that Chinese engineering is up to its usual high quality.
 Worked great for our vacation communcation August 13, 2008

We bought the Midland GXT710VP3 radios for our trip to the Bahamas where we would have no cell phone service. They worked great across the entire resort, even from our hotel room, in the farthest tower, to a restaurant in the main building. Voices were clear and static was minimal. The compact charging base was easy to pack and kept the radios fully charged. We never had a dead battery issue. Can't wait to use them in the great outdoors for our camping and off-roading trips.
Very Pleased July 31, 2008

I bought this for our lake home. Great way to keep in touch and minimize runs between the boat, the beach and the house. Love the weather-radio feature. Has been very useful with boating. Great range for the open water. Batteries maintain their charge.
Good range July 30, 2008

Purchased two sets for ski trip and they worked perfect. The 26 mile range works out to be more like 5 to 6 miles in woods and hills. But even with that the radios have a clear sound and more range then other handheld radios we have had.
great product for the price July 18, 2008
