On my T77 radios, I found I could power it with the USB cable, without batteries in it. A separate battery bank, or USB power from car or home plug will give you operational power for the radio longer than the battery packs will give you. I like this flexibility on these radios.
This is good to know!
Thanks for the follow up brother! I too have a set of these. I used them when moving from CA to TX. My dad was driving my second vehicle while I was in the moving truck. It took us 3 days. Had to change the batteries once in the trip. Worked flawlessly. I'm glad you had a similar experience. Another great information video T!
Right on! They do work well!
that is becouse you were in line of site with each other or one mile.
but what you have right out of the box is three radios useing a 1/2 watt transmiter with
a one mile range good luck have fun stay safe.
Will do, you too!
I have the T75VP3 camo Xtalkers, and really like em. We use em for off roading, hunting & fishing trips. I use rechargeable batteries and charger I got from Amazon, and keep spare set of Duracells for backup. I still run a cb for highway travel.
Thanks for watching!
the truckers will always help you out when you get lost back in the 60 smokie was monitoring ch 19
All the more reason to have a cb, just a cheap basic cb in a mobile setting, but I am a hobbyist, but over the past 32 years I’ve learned that each communication device, cb, frs, and gmrs really is crucial in different situations, I’m a firm believer in keeping a cb and frs on hand in vehicles, got a gmrs as well but most people don’t want to spend the money or hassle on the fcc site for the license. By the way, you sold me on these radios , great job 👍🏼
They have held up well and we will be using them at our CZcamsr range day next week. As for CBS, man, we had so many vehicles that had them back in the day. I miss having one.
you still need a G M R S license too use a g r s repeater if you don't have
one you will be kcked off that reapeter
@@donalderickson-si8ww I didn’t say anything about operating without a license, I did say some people don’t want to go through the hassle on the fcc website for the license, which would lead them back to cb, frs, or even murs. But that’s not me endorsing using gmrs without a license, WRTK275/KG7VDN/320 snowman, 73
you can also call the f c c office by phone and get it done in 5 minnets
@@donalderickson-si8ww now that’s great information, I appreciate it.
We always opt for midland a trusted company good informative video post.
I've subscribed.
rugged radio give you the same thing with
out all the dummy buttons to think about
AND there is a in house tec to talk too who actuley built the radio
and know's it inside out.
Nice review Travis
Thanks man!
I'm going to look in to these I have a ham radio but no license yet.. I've been kind of looking at different ones for Bob's and off roading because I haven't installed my CB in my Jeep yet but Midlands always at the top of my list
If you check out the upper channels they opened those up for non licensed use a few years ago. I guess those give even more range.
if you want to get a real off road call the real guys at rugged radio thay will
set you up with a 45 watt for your jeep and all the other things you need
for your jeep
those channels are the off repeater channels
for us that run G M R S repeater channels
15 through 22 you second set of numbers
Thanks
You are welcome!
Mine worked great when I first bought them now ain't worth a shit don't even communicate with each other at all after a year but for a year they will work
@@abelsalazar8677 mine still work. Maybe call the company to see what they say.
or just go down too the store and replace them. I have carried a portable
public safety radio and in 50 years I changed out one a year beouse I was
so hard on them. what do you expect for a year of use on them.
Just want to make Sure FRS/Family Radio service doesn’t require a FCC license Correct?
@@timmyvalero20 that’s correct, correct
Thanks for this. Just got mine. Wondering how or what the CALL button is for
I believe that will send a ring tone to all CBs on the same channel, like a traditional phone.
@@travisp11 ok got you. Thanks for your time. Have a great weekend
@@K1N5E thank you!!
it will ring on your f r s radio to tell you someone wants to talk to you
it does the same as your phone does when it wrings
I bought 2 but one after a couple of days wont transmit, receives communication but won't transmit, help pls
@@atptodd1 definitely call Midland for a refund
My cousin gave me a set that were stuck on Vox. I’ve been trying to find a way to turn the Vox off but no luck.
READ THE BOOK TWICE HE DID NOT.
Mine will only scan through channels, how do I lock into a different channel?
I'm asking because it defaults to channel 1 but it doesn't have a long range so I'm trying to test other channels.
@@squigglyline2813 the manual may tell you how to have that channel scan ability
If you want longer range call the F C C and thay will help you do your license
and send it in four days then you can use G M R S side
The battery pack states 3.6V and 700mAh. Would a 5.0V and 2A cellphone USB charger set these battery on fire? What are the specs of the charger you use to charge the rechargable batteries that come with the radios? Thank you for the review and very informative video.
I will get back to you on that. I only use alkalines so I will need to get the box out but I will see what I can do.
@@travisp11 Thank you, i truly appreciate that. I'll do some research as well and post if i come across what charger and specs the batterie requires to be charged
@@il_Presepe You are correct about the voltage and mAh rating of the battery pack and the instruction manual doesn't say anything about any kind of limit for volts or miliamps of your power source. I would imagine that the charging dock has adequate components to regulate the current. If you are truly afraid about a fire just go onto Amazon and buy a 3.6v 700 mAh wall charger and you should be safe.
@@travisp11 Thank you for getting back to me and for the information. That is true that perhaps the charging station might regulate the voltage although I have not seen and label or specs on it that states voltage or mAh. Since the manual suggests that the radios can be charged individually without the charging dock then everyone should be aware of a potential damage or worse by using a regular Samsung or apple charger to charge the 3.6v batteries. I'll switch to alkaline or NiMH which I can charge in the appropriate charger. I greatly appreciate your response and for helping with my question. Thanks again for the great video and info about the radios which are awesome by the way.
@@il_Presepe Glad to help and I just use alkaline batteries which seems a bit wasteful but these only get used a few times per year.
YES you need A G M R S LICENSE to operate on the G M R S net work you
are talking 20 mile range that range for me covers three county's and 6 different city's
as of 06/03 of 2023
Good to know!
so you can on at least 30 miles on one repeater
I know your co. tell's you that it does 36 miles but does not tell you how to do it.
5th 👍
How do I set channels to communicate 6 miles away
User the higher channels on the walkie talkie I believe
SORRY F R S / IS OUT for 6 miles you need G M R S and a license
for 35.00 no test.
28 miles. Lol.
It may be possible with certain bands that are shared with HAM radios
@@travisp11Lol. Prove it with another video.
@@MichaelCoughlanmusic I’m just gong off what the package says, not what I am saying.
only if you set your radio to the tower in put channel then call the f c c thay will walk you through the license proress he will give you your f c c cal sign and three days your license
showes up hang it on the wall and your redeay to go
@@travisp11 the package is hipe from the company thay say it will do 35 miles
and nothing as how to do it I am a license holder for G M R S and yes
I can talk 35 miles that is off my 45 watt base.
