Review: Great Radios . . . Headsets are not great - I bought the 3 pack to be able to communicate with my party in the Arizona desert. The radios worked crystal clear at nearly 3 miles, and showed no signs of weakening signals. That is as far apart as we got this time, But I believe that they will work to any reasonable distance. The headsets, now they were not made to the same standard as the radios. I have small ears and I had trouble getting one mounted on my ear. I had to stretch the ear loop to get it onto my ear. It was very uncomfortable and the mike was a great distance from my mouth. I tried to adjust it close to my mouth. It took five tries to get it bent enough to be close to my mouth, the mike ended up bent almost 45 degrees to the ear piece. Then even on max sensitivity it would only pick up my voice if I talked really loudly, and then it sometimes cut out in the middle of my transmission. It also didn’t pick up my voice all the time. Not only that but the ear loop is hard plastic and becomes uncomfortable quickly. My two companions also had the same problem. So we ditched the earpieces and just used them old school. We were more than happy with the radios and give them five stars. I will be purchasing better headsets from Midland to use with these radios. I recommend the radios for anyone wanting a great radio for short to medium range communications, these are perfect. Longer range requires more wattage. Under the right conditions and minimum obstructions, you MAY get close to the advertised distance, but if you get 3 to 5 miles, that is super for ANY GMRS radio. And for the price you can’t go wrong. For me, they perform the job that I needed with room to spare. Try them, you will be pleased. Update: Last night I was sitting in my RV and started playing with the radios. I asked for a radio check, expecting that any response would be from close by. I received a check from a base station that is Close to 8 miles from my location. I was inside an RV in the desert about 8 miles from town and communicated with a base station in the edge of town. Both radios were coming in loud and clear. This was in flat basically open desert. I don’t know what the range would be in town or in the woods, but I am happy with these little radios.
Review: Good enough for my purposes & better than expected - Bought a set of these a little over two years ago for the intended purpose of using them to help herd a pack of Cub Scouts around on various outings. Originally, I needed a set of radios that would work over a mile, mile and a half range of various terrains. Tested when received over the ground I initially needed them for, mostly flat, but the longest range was not line of sight and partially screened by a copse of trees. Radios worked just fine. Since then I've used them in more varied terrains from heavily wooded to urban and in ranges of up to three miles (that one urban) with no issues. My original usage intent was at our yearly Cub Scout day camp. Sometime we would need to split off a group of the boys to go to different locations with a set of adult leaders. (Like a trip to the john, nurse or Webelos activity.) One radio would stay with the main group and one would go with the others so we'd have a means of linking up should the main group have to move on to the next activity before the others returned. I've also used them on hikes and nature walks with the pack. I'll put one at the head and one at the rear of the column in case line of sight contact has been broken. (Just try and stay in sight contact in a corn maze - LOL!) If we need to spread out even further, I have an older, cheaper set of FRS/GMS radios with less power which I can distribute through the group and we can relay messages if the lower power units don't have the juice to transmit all the way. We've also used them when spread out over a larger, urban area to co-ordinate during our Scouting for Food Drives. They've worked out well. We have an effective means of maintaining contact without resorting to shouting at each other and trying to get the others attention. Battery life has been more then sufficient for a one day outing. Bear in mind though the more you transmit, the faster the batteries are used up. That's just common sense. I love having the ability of swapping the battery packs out for AA's if necessary. This brings me to one peccadillo about these radios which is mentioned in another review, but I believe is buried in the comments section, so I'll bring it up in the actual review. When recharging one of the battery packs, even though the battery is completely recharged, when placed in the radio and switched on, the unit fails to operate. There is an easy fix for this. Simply take the battery pack out of the radio and switch it on for a while. Then replace the battery pack and the radio should function just fine. Not sure why this is, and it's certainly a bit annoying, but there ya go... In my opinion, most reviews lack a discussion of two things: First, the weather alert function of these radios work extremely well. Living in the Mid-West, weather can blow up, especially in the summer, very quickly. The safety of my Scouts is my primary mission. Being alerted to changing weather is absolutely critical. My MIL lives in a very rural area and I took these radios along when we visited last. A line of tornadoes blew through the area and these radios warned us when we needed to take cover and when it was safe to come out. Secondly, to operate these radios legally in the GRMS band at maximum power (and maximum range) you NEED an FCC license. The current cost of the license is $85.00 (although there is talk about dropping the license requirement) which seems steep when compared to the roughly $59.00 cost of the radios. However, the license is good for 5 years, which breaks the cost down to $17.00 a year. Now, obviously, your chances of getting busted by the FCC is virtually nil, but it would be my luck to be Mr. Nil. (Plus I'm using these with my Scouts, so I feel obligated to be "morally straight" and be licensed.) If you don't want to spend the money to be licensed, simply use only the FRS bands or throttle down the power on the GRMS bands. At low power you don't need a license, but be advised that you're lessening your range doing so. So, I'm pleased with these radios and do recommend them. I'd buy them again in a heartbeat. Just bear in mind the range claim is wishful thinking in the extreme. If you have needs like I outlined above I have every confidence you'll be happy with them, too.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much range can I expect from these radios in rugged, mountainous and forested terrain?**
A: It depends because there are 3 (yes 3) different FCC filing for the GXT1000. The newest GXT1000 radios made after Sept 2018 under FCC ID MMAGXT1050G are now only 2.5w. These radios are junk. If you can find GXT1000s a bit older before 2018 under the FCC ID MMAGXT1050P, those are a bit better at 3.07w. Then there's the totally discontinued GXT1000s manufactured before 2015 that have FCC ID MMAGXT950 that have the full advertised 5.33w. If you can get your hands on these older radios, they are amazing.

**Q: do I need a gmrs license?**
A: From someone who has worked at the FCC since the rule change, to the best of my knowledge: any GMRS or GMRS/FRS radio which is CAPABLE of operating above 2w of power requires a license, even if you only intend to use the lower powered channels. Currently the fee is $70 for a 10 yr term and it does of course cover immediate family members. The radio service code is ZA and you can to go to FCC.gov/uls to file. If you're having trouble, use the paper forms or call the 877 number for help.
There IS temporary operating authority available while the app is being processed, for up to 90 days. Download the 605 Schedule F from FCC.gov/forms, fill it out, and keep that on hand along with a reference copy of the application (available right after you submit, or in ULS License Manager under My Applications).
In reference to the shutdown: they're processing apps received during the shutdown but the latest public notice says to give it up to a few weeks. Use your temporary in the meantime. If you apply now, they're saying the newer apps should be processed in the typical 1-3 business days, assuming all goes well.

**Q: what is the best REAL range I can expect?**
A: There are certainly many different choices available to folks regarding radio choices.  Many consumers, however, fall into the trap of believing the misleading advertising that various manufacturer’s use to help sell their products, especially when they are in panic mode due to a natural disaster (like an earthquake) or (currently) various lock-down scenarios due to the latest overseas virus.
   
One frequently used example of this buying trap are the claims of 35 to 50 mile range from 1/2 watt UHF FRS/GMRS handheld radios with non-removable antennas (frequently seen on various Cobra, Midland, Motorola, and Uniden radios sold at various big box stores or on the internet).

At UHF frequencies (and with a decent antenna), you’ll normally get around 1 mile of range for every 1 watt of power on transmit, so a 1/2 watt big box store FRS/GMRS radio is likely to get only 1/2 mile of range, nowhere near the 35 to 50 mile claims shown on the box in large type (with the phrase “under optimum conditions” shown in very small type).  

What that means is that if one individual is standing near the cliff face on a tall 9,000 ft. high mountain and his friend is doing the same thing 35 miles away (with nothing between the two mountains but air), then they “may” get the 35 mile range as advertised.  When both individuals are at ground level, normal range is reduced to a 1/2 mile (or less) depending upon obstructions that may be in their way.

**Q: can you also use AA batteries to power these radios?**
A: Yes you can, however the output power will drop drastically (form 5 to I think about 2W) with no indication on the display - it would still show “H” for High power. 

With the included battery pack though (which is essentially 5 1.2 NiMH AAA batteries in series) it achieves 5W transmit power. 

Which means if you buy it because of 5W output you must use battery pack. However battery pack does not last long. It is only 700mAh. Radio consumes 42mA on standby. So about 16 hours standby time if you don’t transmit. Charding time on the other hand is 12 hours. 

Make your own conclusions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ear piece no good but radio is great
*by R***D on May 7, 2026*

Can't say they work as far away as they say (maybe on a flat prairie). But they are simple to use, great sound quality, durable, and held a charge ALL DAY and well into a second day. Very impressed so far. I would have given it 5 stars but bought this set because of the ear pieces. Wish the ear pieces that came with them were more comfy. I will probably have to replace those. They also made it very hard for them to hear me.
