the $60 Midland radios is mid-range that I lost reception most of the times up in the mountain doing construction these radios have good distance in good range better quality nothing negative excellent choice

Despite the comments regarding the lack of coverage in woods, I had very good reception in throughout the national parks

Reception was decent though...

Good sound reception within the range.

The reception and transmit is fantastic

You might get a better reception hiking, but again don't expect big mileage

While they didn't have super reception across long spans inside the ship, they did work.

Reception is a little spotty in rough terrain, Great for on the farm, not so great for in the woods.

Mostly used in the desert, Death Valley mostly, with GPS calculated 10 mile distance crystal clear reception

The radios are used for camping, hiking and inter-car communications when off-roading and they have given good reception under all weather conditions.

heavy duty product without the weight, great range, reception and options.

keep the headset wire out of the way and also so I can tip the radio antenna away from my body for better long distance reception (static

Clear reception, the double charger worked only a week... then only one can charge at a time... hence the 3 stars on material quality.

Two radios had poor reception at one half mile no obstructions; one radio wouldn't transmit properly.

Very strong reception, audio exceptionly clear, great price

Radios did not meet my expectations or field ability based upon product description......very poor reception or none at all

Reception can be weak when on opposite sides of a ridge line, but that's to be expected without a repeater

These are great and offer good reception

My boyfriend and I tested the reception and they barely worked farther than a mile away

Works well, very clear reception

Excellent reception in the woods

The battery life is very good, and reception is good, although I think they should not advertise 35 mile ranges

Great reception.

Used these for my wedding in since there was spotty cellphone reception for all carriers being that we had a mountain and trees surrounding the resort.

Clear reception.

Really just wanted something with strong reception.

Used them in wooded mountain area and the reception was great for about up to a mile.

Good reception

Reception is a little spotty in rough terrain, Great for on the farm, not so great for in the woods.

We took them camping and the reception was so clear

These have been tried up to 1.5 miles with clear reception at this point in the same setting

We use these radios because they are light weight, easy to use, and have great reception even on the 15 acres we have for our church grounds

strong reception

Reception was fantastic!

We haven't had the chance to try the 36-mile range claim, but I can tell you you will need line-of-sight for that to work; some mild terrain (limestone hills) disrupted reception at about 3 miles

The best I've ever purchased work's great very clear voice reception

Clear reception out to 5 miles line of site (will check longer distances our next camping trip).

Clean, clear reception.

Easy to use and good reception.

Even in towns on the islands we had good reception

Reception and ease of use are excellent

I have tested a few times in heavily wooded areas and can only get about one mile of decent reception

My son takes it with him when he goes down to feed and we receive perfect reception.

Pretty good reception

Good reception, nice and clear

I used these on a trip to Europe and got great reception (about a mile) with all the buildings and narrow streets in Venice.

Much clearer reception and the staff is very happy with them.

Great reception

Since cell phones tend to have poor reception at my farm I was hoping that I could use these to communicate with the house when I am in my woods or working one of my back fields on the other end of the property.

These were purchased for our ranch and they have great reception and charging capacity.

Awesome a/c and d/c adopters

n’t attest to how far the range is, but within a few hundred yards they worked perfectly.

Other than the cheap-o earpiece and mic attachment - these little babies pack a punch, feel excellent in the hand, great sound, long battery life with rechargeable batt-pack, multi-function, FRS/GMRS with incredible range in urban setting.
