I had a previus version of these and worked perfect with a pit crew head set. This new version seems that changed the mic speak/plug and now speaker works but not the mic. Please let me know what kind of plug should I use and if is there any adaptor to use.
I bought these to use between the grain cart driver and combine. We have never had good luck with walkie talkies before, but I thought these looked worth a try. They come in very clear and have great range for what they are. The only problem I have is they only seem to last half of the day before the batteries go dead. Then we're back to using cell phones. We use them on high power, but we aren't talking on them a lot so I am pretty disappointed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello, using the radios on high power will drain the battery quicker. Depending on the distance you need to talk we would recommend using the radios on low or medium power to save battery life. In addition, you can also purchase rechargeable AA batteries that will have better battery life. If you do purchase rechargeable AA batteries only recharge them with the charger that came with the batteries, do not charge them on the desktop charger. Finally, you might look at the MXT115 MicroMobile radios that you can easily install via DC outlet in the combine and tractor. They will provide you with way better range. Because of this these are our most popular radio for the farm.
First off. I think midland has done a very good job making their radios affordable to any and everyone. With my radio in my first range rest I was able to communicate perfectly up to 1.7 miles away in my city! I haven’t found the full range yet. But I can stand in my driveway and talk with my buddy in his driveway almost two miles away. These radios are worth the money if they were 50% more expensive!
The list of improvements needed is too lengthy. Midland needs to take a more serious approach to GMRS.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
