Features: Let us explore the features of Midland 50 Channel FRS portable 2-Way Radio which make it great and compelling:

Two Way Radio: GXT1000 offers 50 communication channels consisting of 2-way communication. I feel like pampered for selection when I first must decide a specific channel. Later, I have chosen the one which is dear to me.

Transmission Range: Range is one of the top demands whenever we are looking for walkie talkies. This gadget offers 36 Miles of Range which is allowed as per the law. The maximum communication range is available in open areas with little or no disruption.

Waterproof Protection: This radio is equipped with JIS4 waterproof protection which prevents it from water splashing or light rain. There are no harmful effects even you travel in moderately rainy weather. Hence this water-resistant feature will not prevent you if you really love to go out in such rainy conditions.

Weather Alert: One of the great features of GXT1000 is to have instant access to an NOAA Weather Radio which keeps alarming for any hazardous weather in your travel area 24/7. Further, it gives you forecasted weather which assists in making your travel decision right on time by alerting you. It scans through 10 available weather bands and guides you of the severe conditions.

Whisper Mode: Midland radio offers has a distinctive feature of whisper mode. This mode allows you to just whisper to the device and the communication transmission will work the normal way. I like this feature because I do not want to shout at my device always. It sounds hilarious but really whispering works well with this walkie talkie.

Privacy Codes: GMRS Radio has the inbuilt privacy codes which make it different in all the other devices available in the market. It has 142 privacy codes which can be used in 22 channels. You can customize the privacy code for each of the 22 channels. There are 38 CTCSS Codes and 104 DCS Codes accessible to pick from.

Dual Watch: Portable GXT has a feature which lets you monitor channel 9 and any other channel of your choice simultaneously which helps keeping you update of emergencies while you have access to your favorite channel.

Power Settings: You need to have either a NiMH battery pack or optional 4 AA alkaline batteries to power on the Midland handheld radio and the power transmission can also be adjusted by the gadget to conserve energy. The NiMH battery pack is rechargeable, and it comes with a Desktop charger for recharging. I prefer using the Midland batteries because they are best in terms of usage times after you fully charge your batteries.

Hands-Free Operations: Hand Free feature is now a day a requirement of everyone because we are more aligned towards multi-tasking and it becomes a necessity if you are driving. GXT 1000 supports hands-free operations with 9 sensitivity levels.

Styles: This handheld walkie talkie will spoil you for the option of selecting the style in different colors. It is available in Black/Silver, Black/Mossy Oak Camo and Black/Yellow style.

User Friendly: Well this is a general phenomenon that we use gadgets which are easy to use and same with me. Hence, I found that this GRMS radio has an LCD which is easy to read in day or night. Keylock function is also there so that with any accidental hand touch will not lead to change the settings and then again need time to reset. This gadget also has 10 call alerts, vibrate alert, and an SOS siren.

Our Opinion: Based on my experience using this great gizmo and to which I feel like addicted is that it gives me a greater range of 36 Miles and I personally experienced it with my mates during travel. During hiking the range diminishes but that is normal if you are in hilly and lofty mountains. Compared to other walkies talkies in the market I found that GXT1000 has a powerful range of communication transmission.

Also, it comes with a 3-year manufacturing warranty from Midland except for the accessories which have 90 days warranty. This portable buddy is working superb and always by my side at the time to my adventurous trips to the hilly peaks on roads and off roads.

Last but not least and you are going to love it because it has different style options available to choose from.

The other way of power transmission is to use 4 AA alkaline batteries.

Hence, I suggest keep some packs of 4 AA alkaline batteries with you.
