Excellent 2 way radios for my motorcycle group

by Marty A 2008-10-14, 9 people found this review helpful
I have used 2-way radios to communicate with others in my motorycle group for a few years. The Midland GXT900 is advertised as a 5 watt unit and showed excellent range, durability, and easy interface with my Starcom. Range on these consumer 2-way's is subjective, so I can only state that it works as good or better than past 2 watt units I have used. I have recommended the GXT900 to several motorcycle accessory dealers over the Cobra LI7200 due to the Cobra's battery saver mode interfering with the Starcom interface by muting the speakers. When you plug any accessories into the Cobra it automatically reduces the GMRS "Hi" power to "Med" power. The Midland stays at full power in GMRS mode when the accessories are plugged in. Battery lasted much longer than prior units I have had. I ran one unit for 2 days before recharging.

One minor dislike is the charger light never goes out. There is a battery level indicator on the screen, and the manual states clearly how long to charge the units to full.

Work great good range good tone

Bought these radios primarily for scenario paintball play, looked around and really liked the features that came with this set. As for range its what you can expect unless you have a very open flat area like a lake or field you will not get the full 30 miles of it even though I have tested them at over 10 and they were crystal clear. Have not attempted to test the waterproof and hope I never have to. For everyone who says they have problems programming them or problems with the controls, Yes it is difficult the first time, but its called reading left to right top to bottom the instructions were detailed enough that my 8 year old cousin is now a pro at using them. Overall a great product I am very happy with them.

Great Radios

Radio are great. I have had a set of 800's and now own the 900. What most people do not understand is in the woods you don't get 30 miles. And these are great for the wooded areas. They will keep you in contact and are easy to operate. If you are a hunter you need a pair
