Amazon.com Product Description
The Midland GXT800VP4 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 GXT800 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 GXT800 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 GXT800 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 GXT800 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 GXT800 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 GXT800 radio is constructed to be water proof to JIS4 specifications, so it can be used in virtually 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 GXT800 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 GXT800VP4 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.

Customer Reviews:
Excellent Product.......2008-01-01
These are outstanding units. Excellent reception 10-12 miles through trees. They are used in a barn by trail guides who take very good care of the horses and not very good care of these. But they have held up flawlessly. I highly recommend them, they are what they say they are.
Great range.......2007-12-31
I tested these radios in hilly terrain in the Missouri ozarks. Voices were clear and easy to understand up to 5 miles. I was impressed with that distance. The earbud and microphone work fine but do not stay on your ear very well. The NOAA radio works satisfactory. I haven't run them long enough to test the rechargeable battery life but having the option to put in regular AA's is nice. I wish the battery packs could be charged without having to be in the radio. That's a flaw. It would be nice to have the option to charge the pack whil you used the radios with regular batteries.
First month with the 800's.......2007-12-17
I have owned several of the top rated Cobras and Motorolas. I already owned a pair of Midland's older "5 watt" radios, but I purchased the 800's to get the longer antenna and any improvements they might have made to the transmitter and receiver sections. The 800's have no great surprises. Range is very good for a GMRS consumer radio but we all need to start disregarding the outrageous published claims by the manufacturers on range and output. They are largely irrelevant. If you want more accurate information on output and range, browse through the very helpful two-way radio forum at: http://www.twowayradioforum.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=4
According to the FCC, actual radiated power from these units (at the antenna) is a bit over 1.6 watts, but that's very good when compared with most other brands of GMRS radios on the market. In terms of usable range in a suburban environment, think in terms of 5 miles at the outside; less where there are hills, buildings or trees. Less yet from car to car.
The radios are a bit bulky but manageable. Sound quality is reasonably good, and volume is only OK. All in all, a good investment for the money and a 3 year warranty is one of the best. Based on my experience, I can recommend these radios for most consumer applications.
not for distance.......2007-12-15
Used them for the first time for hunting season and they were very clear and fit the use I purchased them for. We went for range a test with putting them in different cars and going down the road. Basically they were good for about two and a half miles before the static took over.
I think the Midland company tests these units at the top of some mountain with nothing between the other person "26 miles" away. I would love to know how they come up with the rating "26 Miles"?
Excellent, durable transceiver.......2007-11-30
Out of 4 sets of FRS/GMRS radios I've had over the last 10 years, these, by far, are the best. They are well made and powerful (for a GMRS radio). The ability to customize the units through the settings is very good. The only very, very minor downside is the slightly recessed PTT button. It makes it slighty more difficult to push the button and can take a while to get used to. Midland likely did this to prevent accidental transmissions. Again, you won't go wrong getting this set.
