Great Range, Bad Clips

They work very well in our facility, but sadly they seem to be made with cheap materials because the belt clips have not lasted over a year. They were great for the first year but they have not been able to keep up with the needs of our staff and the facility in terms of their durability and quality of parts. They would be great for short term use.

I have 16 of these. Good sound quality. Really can’t beat the simplicity and price for a commercial radio. In use over a month and no durability issues and I know several have been dropped onto concrete and still work with no visible damage. Only negative is the battery tends to fly off when dropped. If being crazy picky, the attachment of the belt clip has really small screws which seams like it could be a weak point but none have broken yet so it may just be my perception. I like that it is compact so easy to have on a belt and still sit down without trauma. I’ve used other brands in the past and they were heavy and bulky. Battery has easily lasted all day. The PTT button seams small compared to other radios and sometimes takes a second stab at to find when not looking but I like it better because it is harder to accidently trigger it when sitting or leaning up against something. I have used several other brands in the past as a compare and I have some residential Midland products too. I would definately recommend Midland and I will keep buying Midland.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing business radios

I just purchased two of these for our crane inspection company. They are extremely loud, clear, and light weight!! They seem very durable and should hold up to lots of abuse. I plan on purchasing 4 more of these and the multi-charger!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased 2 radios in April and I'm impressed with how well they works, I used these radios 30 feet below ground and have gotten good all around reception. These radios are durable, reliable and are a great value!
Completely Satisfied!
Thank you Midland!
Best,

The range of these radios is about 50% of the advertised range when used in modern concrete & steel structures. To reach through twenty stories of concrete and steel, one would have to be in a perfect position; a position of less concrete and steel such as a direct line of sight...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are sorry to hear you are having issues with the range of your radios. As all structures are different some are tougher to broadcast through than others.
