Excellent purchase, very happy!
I purchased this Transceiver to communicate with my students (Headzone) waterproof radio helmet. It works great, it's water proof and was extremely east to set up.[...]
Topping this radio off
What would top this radio off and lock me into buying it would be to offer an alkaline battery pack like the rdx series radios.
Suggestion #2
The only reservations I have about this product is the battery charging system. You must use the charging station. Most moble devices today allow the option of charging the battery via a USB cable. During an emergency or in the outdoors it would be nice if I could connect the radio to a small solar panel and recharge the battery via a USB connection.
Very Good!!!
So far so good!!!
Extremely durable
Ran directly over a radio on hard groud with the left front tire of a 4 wheel drive ranger PU with a 4-wheeler in the back and it still worked perfectly. The display was cracked but the case itself was in perfect condition. Totally impressive.
Well.......it all turned out ok
Great radios for our use. Don't EVEN think these will go 36 miles. 1 mile through the woods Great. after that forget it. Maybe if your shouting from one mountain to to another....36 miles maybe It really dosen't matter to me but I don't think they should claim that the radios go this far :(
good enough for me
After a quick submersion in the water, I noticed that the audio was a bit different so I got a blow dryer and blew all the water out from the speaker. After a 5 foot drop, the volume knob came out from its holder.(it was fixed really fast but there was a crack in the plastic. It also cracked in the lower left corner after the fall.
Good radios
good rugged radio, good battery, tested the radio about 3 miles over rolling hills terrain and could still properly transfer signal. a bit scratchy but to be expected. Not sure how it will work in the mountains.
FRS not needed
This could be a better unit, if they left out the frs and shared channals. I have a GMRS call sign and do not want the extra's.(Could I get one reprogramed from the factory with out the FRS channals?LOL) Also I got the remote speaker mic with this, the mic constently becomes unpluged, it should have a strap or something, a tab mabe,so it could be secured with a screw in the screw hole for the cover, I ust this while on the tractor around my home,so the noise leval is quite high making the specker mic nessaseary for hearing calls.I would also like to have the abulity to change out the antenna for a longer whip, or having the abulity to attach the radio to an antenna on the top of the tractor. All in all I like the feal of this unit better than the GXT1000's I have been using the last 2 years or so. I like the abulity to use the call button with diffrent tones, I would not complane about the weather channals if they were programed in. By the by, the speacker mic becomes unpluged on the GXT1000's also.
Shared channals not needed
I use this unit around my 10 acares whyle on the tractor or in the workshop. I do not like that it has a non removable ant, I have a GMRS lic. and do not use the FRS chanals that Midland inscenst's on adding to a very good GMRS unit, a removable ant would alloy me to mount one on the trouctor and the top of the work shop for better comunacation. Having stated that I am still going to get another unit and giving my GXT1000's to a friend.
