The Midland LXT330VP3 22-Channel 16-Mile GMRS 2-Way Radio Pair Pack with Rechargeable Batteries and Charger represents the state-of-the-art in high-tech engineering, for a compact package that is big in performance. Skillfully constructed with the finest components, the Midland LXT330 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 LXT330 radio is full of features such as a call alert to notify your intended receiver of incoming traffic, a channel scan to locate activity, and an auto squelch to filter out weak signals. This unit provides both High and Low power settings, so you can choose to maximize transmission distance or save power. The LXT330 also features keystroke tones, a roger beep that confirms transmission conclusion, and a silent operation for quieting beeps, tones and alerts when you can’t afford to make extra noise.
The Midland LXT330 radio provides you with 22 GMRS/FRS (General Mobile Radio Service/Family Radio Service) UHF channels, and up to a 16-mile range in open territory. And while most GMRS channels require an FCC license to operate, channels eight through 14 are low-power FRS channels that are license free. These powerful radios have an easy-to-read LCD display that shows you channel and other relevant radio status information at a glance, and a large easy-to-use keypad on the front for one-touch access to important features.

Some customer reviews:
I order this item all the way from south america and was so pleased with its performance. Its affordable and does the job it has to do. Its a must have. No complain, i’m even thinking of ording a pair of backup handset just to have in case of damage or lost.
If you are looking for an easy to operate set of two way radios, buy these. The silent mode is perfect for stealth (deer)hunting which is why we purchased these.

The Motorola Talkabout FV200AA GMRS/FRS Two-way Radios, which replaces the T4500 model, offers active families a simple and affordable way to stay in touch. With an improved outdoor range of up to five miles, these sleek and compact, water-resistant radios can fit in the palm of your hand or into a pocket. The FV200AA features audible call tones that grab the attention of your family and friends before you even start talking. A talk confirmation tone will sound when the push-to-talk button is released — signaling when the other user has stopped talking. An audible low-battery alert ensures that you’ll have plenty of notice that your batteries are running low.
Some customer reviews:
We purchased these radios for use by our children when they go out of the house. They are very easy to operate, have great reception and were inexpensive. They have allowed our children to have more freedom because they can go to the park, but we can still be in touch with them and they can reach us if there is a problem. I would recommend these to anyone.
I read the reviews on these before purchasing a more expensive model walkie talkie for my 10 year old. For $20, the size and range works well for us. They work great inside our small gated neighborhood. Love that they clip to belt or jeans so they aren’t lost…I can finally not worry about where my son is. Recommended if you are looking for a cheaper walkie talkie for communicating with your kids.
