LifeNRA Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 After playing around with TWO SETS of these radios. I finaly made my decision about these. THEY SUCK!!! The first set now dont have any transmission on the one, they do not work in SILENT MODE like they should! They are breaking up very badly, were only a 100 yards apart! The second set are just as bad as the first, but the animal call alert are so screwed up its funny! Now you would think that maybe the first set could have been bad, but TWO???? I reccomend that NOBODY buys these pieces of JUNK made in China! Thanks for letting me vent!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M00N Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Re: Midlands GXT 650, TERRIBLE!!! Never had any troubles with my Midland 14 Mile ones that I got at Bass Pro. They work just fine up in the mountains of NE Pennsylvania. They are only the $20 ones, though. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles just the silent mode, 22 channels, call button, and button lock feature. Sorry to hear you're having trouble with yours. Have you tried contacting the manufacturer about the problems you're having to give them a chance to do right on their product? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhtr1 Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Re: Midlands GXT 650, TERRIBLE!!! I have the 14 mile range ones also. They work great. I thought about going to get the 18 mile range ones but I think I will wait now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Re: Midlands GXT 650, TERRIBLE!!! I've got GXT-400's. Love them!! Replaced a set of Motorola Talkabout Plus radios with these. The Motorolas were not so hot. Guess each brand has its lemons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
