Skillfully constructed with the finest components, the Midland GXT710 is built with all solid-state circuitry mounted on a rugged, printed circuit board to provide you with reliable and trouble-free performance for years to come.

The GXT710 radio is full of features such as an outgoing call alert to notify your intended receiver of incoming traffic, and five incoming call alerts to identify various senders. This radio also features a channel scan for locating active channels, an auto squelch for filtering out weak signals, and a vibrating alert for use in both quiet and noisy environments.

Works pretty good. August 31, 2007 Andy (New York) 34 out of 35 found this review helpful
We bought 5 pairs of the GTX710VP3. They are working very well, we're using them in a 6 story building in New York City. I had one person in the basement, while the other went a couple of blocks away and it worked fine.
Best GMRS radio I've found September 22, 2007 Will Hanners (Florida) 29 out of 29 found this review helpful
We recently purchased the GXT710 rechargable 26 mile Midland GMRS radios through Amazon. This is the third set of Midland GRMS radios and the sixth set, including other brands we've purchased. We use the radios aboard cruise ships and find the GXT 710 to be the best we've owned. From ship to shore, the reception was great and on most places of Mariner of the Seas, the reception was also great. I've found the more powerful the radio, the better the signal penetrates the metal and other obstacles aboard ships and on hiking trails. The GXT710 is not necessairly more powerful than the previous models, however the antenna is longer on this model and appears to help.
Good hand held November 21, 2007 Kenneth K. Hansen 29 out of 29 found this review helpful
A very good hand held radio for family communications at a reasonable distance of 3 to 4 miles,but if you are expecting to be able to communicate at the claimed 26 mile range,you will be disapointed, as you will be with any of these types of hand helds that claim over a 5 mile range, unless you can get access to a repeater, and that is a whole nother situation which requiers an FCC licence. I bought these for there small size, ease of operation and solid construction, they perform as I expected and I am very satisfied.
It's not all it says it is. December 11, 2007 S. Zirkiev (New York) 24 out of 30 found this review helpful
I assumed the walkie talkies would work well after seeing good reviews. I just used these on a cruise with 6 other people and 26 miles is not even close to what we got, the farthest we could use these were at most 1 mile over open water, fully charged. Many times I couldnt even hear the others while on the same boat. Only at about 300 feet or less you can hear the other person pretty good, anything beyond 300 feet it gets very staticy or you can't hear them at all. Besides they are very bulky. A few times after charging it for 6 hours the battery would die out right away. The chargers are preety cool but they dont let you know when the walkie talkies are fully charged, you have to guess or look at the battery icon which is not the best indicator, considering it can show full and die an hour later.
Excellent for Florida Parks October 21, 2007 Raul Cuadra (Lima, Peru) 18 out of 22 found this review helpful
I bought for use it in Disney and Universal and works perfect, very clear in open spaces. Some problems, that I expected in this radios is for communication in the city, the distance is very low (I think is no longer than 1 mile) Maybe I expect more duration of the batteries but for the whole day is enough
