I live in santiago, Chile and brought my radios with me hear without the instructions. Im sooooo glad you decided to do your video. I havent seen anyone else do this. I feel so much better. More confident. thank you for helpin folks like us out hear clueless

Thank you for the video seriously this is my first ever radio I’ve owned and reading the manual was like a foreign language.

Thank you for taking the time to make and share this video!!! I recently got mine and was having some trouble figuring them out !!! This video is exactly what I needed !!! Thank you again ...

Thank you! The voice command got turned on by my coworkers and it was driving me crazy. This video saved me lol. My coworkers ordered more because they thought they were broken 🤦🏾‍♀️

Got these radios for an upcoming trip with the lady. Yesterday we each took them to our separate places of work to test the range and somehow were in a setting where we could see the TX or RX indication if the other person was pressing the talk button, but nothing came through (volume maxed). Did a factory reset and out both radios on a private channel thanks to your video. Thanks Nate. Subbed.

What an excellent video! Thank you for taking the time to do this and for sharing it. I haven’t seen a better overview/review video on any subject. Great job.

This was a great video for these two-way radio. My company just bought some and they want ME to explain how to use them, ME? I never use one before in my life. Wish me luck.

Thank you, Excellent class! Just joined a rock hounding 4 Wheel Club so now I'm the tailgunner.

Absolutely great video!...you just saved my stress level, I could not turn the weather alert off. I'm good to go now:)

Thank man I've owned these for sometime now and had no idea there was that many options appreciate the video

Thank you so much, you have just made my life easier. Thank you for taking the time to explain everything in great detail! 😊

These radios are pretty popular foreclosed communication in my local area there is a dentist office that uses them where are the dentists in the hygienists and dental assistants can all communicate from one room to the other without having to go search for whoever they want to in some cases that means leaving the patient for a while just to go talk to somebody this way a hygienist can be working on a patient and still be in communication with everyone else.

Awesome presentation Rob. Very informative, I own this brand and was looking for info on how to properly utilize them. Once again thank you for taking the time to explain it s features and usage.

Huge help. Got mine all set up. Thanks

Help, husband bedridden and I got them to be able to go outside. We paid $100. and never could get them to work! Went back to sports academy and nobody knew what to do. I did charge them but they never worked? Hopefully this post will help me!! I am chained to my husband. Please pray I can figure it out!!!

I have to give you huge props for this video! I bought these a year ago and have never had time to learn how to use them. Of course, it’s the night before a major weather event in Southern California, hurricane Hillary, and your tutorial brought me up to speed very quickly! I’m super stoked about the weather alert, and I am sharing my set with my neighbor. I am the party with the charging station so I will be getting that weather alert and notifying my neighbor, correct? Or do both of our devices get that alert? Anyhow, thank you so much, you really helped me and have lessened my anxiety about the coming storm.

Thanks I just got a walkie talkie for Christmas yesterday

Thanks for making this video. I found it helpful.

Great video explaining so much. I get how privacy mode works, they should have called it, “selective hearing mode”. However I was hoping to see how to set them, I think they need to be side by side to set the code. I bought two sets and I am hoping to set all 4 to the same privacy code. One will go to my mother-in-law who lives 25 miles away. We might need to get her a stronger base unit. We have a bunch of relatives who live about this distance away. I am also trying to get my closest friends to get the Midland XTalkers and test them at various distances. It sounds like Channel 36 might be a good choice since we could isolate to only Midland radios. I have a HAM license and radio but i doubt my relatives and friends would want to cram like I did to get my license which I spent a Saturday doing years ago.

I'd love my radio for work,Midland excellent. I have the GXT 1000 important note nothing said much about the batteries,Mine charges also will take 5 alkaline aa: Important In case I don't have time to charge.. excellent DC charger,thank you informative video...🙋‍♂️👍

VOX means 'Voice Operated Transmit' Microphone is sensitive all the time, and the transmitter is turned on when the 'mic sensitivity trigger-point' is exceeded. Set the VOX level higher to not transmit when mumbling, just when Speaking to be Heard.

Very comprehensive video thank you so much! 🙏🏻😎

I got ones for a sick family member, and the radio turns off by itself after being on for a while, like an auto turn off feature that I can't seem to turn off.

They work now, I was super frustrated until I watched this. The manual? Totally laughing because I have no clue where I put it. It's here, but...

THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMTION ON MY MIDLAND X TALKER I LEARNED ALOT OF COOL FEATURES. How can I use the radio when traveling in a noise Utv so the person next to me can hear me with a helmet on???

Pretty nice explanation, greetings from Mexico ✌️

On the T51A model how do you set the hi power because the manual doesn't say how to set it up just tell you be sure to set your radio to use Hi power in the T50 manual. who wrote the manual Microsoft lol.

What channel is everyone using I can’t hear anything at anytime on my gxt1000 and waiting on my 67 pro and mxt500 There’s more chatter on fb did I make a mistake going gmrs instead of ham

thanks you so much. use the vox mode for the kitched job.

You Mentioned 'Monitor and Scan' mode. From what i understand, you said monitor mode is for listening to hear what channels are being use and the radio channels continually scan. The monitor channel you said is for listening to hear who's on? I noticed in the monitor mode the squelch is off (probably to hear far away and faint broadcasts) and my question is related to you saying you CAN'T transmit in the monitor mode; yet I can on the Midland T70. So I am wondering did I totally misunderstand what monitor is? Would you please clarify that? Oh and your video was amazing. I have learned so much. thank you

This video is super helpful

Thanks for the video now I understand a lot better my radio

I used water proof walkie talkie at water park different brand but I was in lazy River and my kid going on water slide keep in contact and did have to worry about destroying phones .

Great video. Thanks so much.

10:31 Thanks for that I was having trouble with that

Thanks for sharing! I would like to comment that I use the VOX when I'm driving on Karting training. I cannot push the button to speak. I don't know if it is a usual application for this equipment, but it works.

I'm moving cross country in the summer. 5 cars in the convoy, can I have multiple radios on same frequency?

Great video! very in-depth!!

Very good information, thanks!

Thanks for posting this video. The weather alert information was very helpful.

Sorry, I'm still a little confused how to set a privacy channel so me and another person can talk without someone listening in.

Thank you so much for this video. I need a quick clarification A bought the same radio however i can't get my radios to switch to "HI" power to get maximum range. Can you please help us?

Hi I wish you would take it in time to explain how to adjust the volume That's the problem I'm having that I tried to do it according to the manual but I can't adjust the volume up or down could set somebody explain how this is done? Thank you

Thankyou sir

This is a great video. You really love what you do.

Awesome overview!

How do I get WI mode on and off

Just got a set of Midland T71 radios. I'm happy to see I made a wise buying decision. My question: I asked Midland Support if I could leave my radios in the charger while not in use. Surprisingly, they said No. Do you agree with that recommendation? I enjoyed you in depth instructions for setting up these radios. Thanks.

Great review . Thanks

Great info! Thanks!

I have midland gxt 1000 model. Can I program 446 pmr to this radio? Thank you

These radios are great

What would your settings be for a farm? We have the x talker 71 I believe. Just having issues when we get more then a few miles away from each other. I see other people use these same radios.

Prepping for off grid living thanks

what's the life expectancy, or is it ok, to leave it turned on and sitting on the charger.. is that bad for the radio/battery, or is it designed to do so, and how long will it reasonably last like that?

Still looking for Midland to produce a GMRS handheld that is repeater capable.

Great video.

Thank you!

Thanx

can we use in the 27Mhw with the car stations CB??

Awesome info !

Oye, como agarra interferencia en el radio del tiempo manteniendo el boton wx. Pero habla en ingles.

Is there a way u can make a private call with a friend that’s 1.2 miles away like just a radio with both of us

hey i have one of these radios it came out a few years ago or thats atleast when i was given it is it possible for me to use this with other radio brands at a airsoft game?

We got em for the farm

I need help turning off vox

Radio signal propagation in this frequency range (line of sight), on flat ground with NO obstructions would get about 7 miles radio to radio due to the curvature of the Earth. Throw in obstructions (trees, houses, buildings, cars etc) and the range decreases significantly, and I do mean SIGNIFICANTLY. Mountain top to mountaintop with no obstructions MIGHT get the full distance, but even then, I doubt it. I wish manufacturers would stop using the transmission distance as the barometer for sales. It is misleading to the uninformed consumer, and that is what they are relying on.

Ok, ignorant question: I'm not getting very good distance from these. Are there certain channels that get better range? Or is there a better way to increase it?

Why cant other brands radios hear me? I just got a pair of this but my coworkers cant hear me only i can.

it's possibile to disactivate TOT function?

Assembling XT removing clip and putting batteries in???

Nice video

Hip do I get rid off the flashing weather icon?? ☔️

How do you get to 73?

I have a EX-30 radio, can you tell me how to adjust the volume? Mine doesn’t have the knob on top of the unit!

How do you turn off vox mode?

I need something where I can secretly talk to my significant other when we are shooting wedding photography together...mic/ headphone ear piece..whats your best advice..I don't want to have to pick it up and push a button to talk back and forth as im constantly shooting pictures and wouldn't have time to drop the camera to push a button to talk..or is there anything I can go wireless/bluetooth with with law mic and small ear piece?

13:50 that's my problem with these radios too many functions and too few buttons you would need the owners manual with you

Can midland two way radios communicate with other radios like baofeng brand etc.

Great video. The instructions that came with the radio are really bad.

Oh wait so I can’t connect to the CSX trains that pass by

I wish there was an LED that indicates charging

Hands free for kayaking

and the fee is 35.00 dollars as I have one

To bad they don't put out 5 watts like the older ones.

X talker is gmrs also 5w l

And what not

He gives some good info. But too much rambling. Sweet simple and to the point next time.

Ok ok all.that talk about midland this is the third set I brought of walkies an I didn't like none of them.not even this midland they all say so many miles an dont even reach 2 miles wth really what's going on it said 36 miles on midlands an im pissed didn't even make 1.6miles wth

You talk too much. Just explain how it works

Be Aware that the FCC will be INCREASING The License Fee in 2022, maybe to $70+ ! Get your GMRS now, or wait and Pay More...
