Midland X-TALKER 2-Way Radios (T10)

I got these for Christmas and had planned mostly to use them out in cottage country where cel reception is spotty. Used them when I was ice fishing and walking the dogs to communicate with my wife back at the cottage. Actual range in dense forest was about 1 mile, but on the lake ice fishing, I had perfect communications and did not reach their range. I even lost one while traversing a rough ice patch (fell and lost it) and found it 3 hours later after getting the other walkie and using the call feature! It survived a 3 hour freeze below a few layers of broken ice and snow at -11°C and still worked beautifully. Very happy with them!

These are the clearest sounding, easy-to-use two-way radios I've ever owned. The radios are simple yet have critical features: clear point-to-point communication, weather alert function, and ease of use. As with may radios, this one benefits from alkaline batteries more than the rechargeable ones. The alkaline batteries last much longer.

Purchased them to help in backing up our travel trailer and for checking the lights after hooking up. Perfect for this. Like that we can just replace the batteries when they go down rather than having to wait several hours for them to recharge before we can use them again. Nice and compact and clear sound. very happy
