We have been using LXT118 's for years. They are no longer being made . I had a couple of defects, so Midland provided credit to put toward a set of LXT500's. Love them!
I would recommend this to a friend!

These walkies are great. We use them all the time. The only thing they could improve upon would be a longer life per charge

I bought 4 of these Midland Two-Way Radios about a month ago. They preformed perfectly within our business operations on the road. The talk range is extremely far considering the size of these radios. They seem to take a lot of wear and shock without damage.
I really like the traditional talk button location on the side of the radios, as other brand radios don't do anymore.

So I got these radios in a bundle offer. I been listening to people talking from Tucson and pason Arizona. Im in buckeye Arizona. That's quite a distant for line of sight. Great repeaters. Battery life is also good. Im thinking of getting two more and a moble for my truck.

Over & Out - These Walkie Talkies Are Excellent!

For years my kids and I have talked about one important missing element from our list of camping 'must haves' - a really great set of walkie talkies that would keep our family connected while out hiking trails (OK, or getting lost at the mall - remember this pre-Covid 19 experience?!). You see, we're a family of four, and that usually means that one half of our brood ends up walking a bit faster then the other half (I won't disclose that I tend to be in the faster half with my wee youngest one!), and often get separated. So we finally decided to get the Midland 2-Way Radios and this ended up being a great decision, for a few different reasons. First, what you see is what you get - there's no surprises. Second, the quality of these walkie talkies is just fantastic. Both the durability of the units, which I was incredibly impressed by, or the audio quality when put to use, this product is top-notch. Apart from taking them out of the box, inserting the batteries (which you should read the directions on, unlike me!) and letting the 2 radios charge for 24 hours, it couldn't have been easier to get these devices up and running just in time for our camp trip. And while we didn't get separated for more than just a mile or two, the reception was absolutely perfect. The units come with a clip that you can attach to the back of the walkie talkies (which I highly recommend affixing immediately before misplacing them!) and can either clip on to your belt, backpack or hang from inside your tent. Be sure to read the instructions for maximum effect! Over & Out!!!

Works great!

I’ve had these radios for about a month now. I’ve used them around campgrounds to stay in touch with my traveling partner. And they are perfect for communicating while backing up the trailer and the boat. I particularly like how lightweight and compact they are, as I can easily throw them in my daypack. I haven’t tested the claim of 24 mile distance, but in my experience with other radios the distance is much shorter when there are trees and other obstructions. I certainly had clear sound from several miles away. As another reviewer said, don’t forget to turn them off or you will drain the battery. An auto-off feature would be a nice addition. For the price though, these are great to have.

Good price for a radio, but not a long-range radio

These Midland radios are good radios for the price, but they are not long-range radios by any means. They advertise that the range on these LXT-500 radios as 24 miles, but that is only on flat land with zero obstructions. We use our radios around campsites and while hiking, and the range for these radios in those situations is somewhere under a mile or less depending on how dense the trees or buildings are in the area. These radios are best for keeping track of kids or friends on short hikes or around the campgrounds.
Don’t get me wrong, I love these radios for just that fact because we mostly use two-way radios when traveling in a convoy or around our campsite. These are definitely entry-level radios for short-range use only. They do not have the range of 22 miles as stated.
I love Midland products, but they need to be more honest on their packaging about the real range in real-life conditions.
