The NOOA weather reception is great. A lot better than my other radios. A better scan than my other radios. It scans only the 22 channels. My other radios scans around 100 channels. Have not tried or used the two way radio function.
My cons: no FM stations, no light, charging cradle (dinosaur).
Hard to say if the price is worth it. Jury is out.

The GXT 67Pro is by far the easiest GMRS radio I have used. MidlandUSA made the functions, display and features so easy to use. Setting up groups was an easy way for me to preprogram my different Jeep groups for my preset channels. I love the car charger it comes with. It snaps in the base and doesn’t fall out when wheeling. I will definitely be purchasing another radio and the data cable to open more channels.
The GXT67 Pro is a Home Run for Midland! Full 5 watts, waterproof & dust proof, noise cancelling Mic, long battery life, repeater capable, 50 channels of GMRS/FRS right out of the box with another 49 available with the optional PC interface that also allows you to custom name your channels with up to 8 characters.
Rugged design, with a large display that fits nicely in your hand gives this radio more of a traditional look and feel. For those who use repeaters, it is both narrow and wide band capable although most repeaters are wide band. Ten NOAA weather channels with weather alert are a bonus but some of the more notable features are the 10 Groups with 143 Group Godes, Privacy Codes, CTCSS, DCS, VOX and so much more.
The icing on the cake is the top-quality carry case that cradles the GXT67 Pro and accessories keeping them safe from loss and damage.
Ok, so it’s loaded with features that everyone wants but how does it work. GREAT! The 5 watts gives much greater talk power than much of the competition. Distance when used in a vehicle compared to lower power units is double and hitting repeaters in the Phoenix Metro area has been easy. And while it is pricy compared to those clam shell packaged ones, it has the feel and features of a quality Ham walkie costing much more. You will find out quickly that it is well worth the cost based on quality, features and performance.
The GXT67 Pro is truly a professional grade GMRS portable radio.
I’ve been using the GXT67 Pro for several weeks, and there’s a lot to like about the radio. The majority of my GMRS use is on repeaters, and I travel a lot, so the simplicity of the “Privacy Code” menu to enter repeater tones is great. I can program the radio for a repeater in seconds. And I appreciate that the radio does split tones for repeater use. Some other things that get a thumbs up: The ability to select between narrow and wideband, the handy lighted keypad, and IP67 rating. Overall, the GXT67 Pro is a very good do-it-all GMRS radio.
The stand-out feature of this repeater capable GMRS handheld is that it is actually user friendly. The menus and user interface are easy to understand and configure. Some other notable features: * "Split tone" capable for repeaters that have a different privacy code for input and output * Built-in ANC, automatic noise cancellation * USB-C and 12VDC socket recharging
The new handheld is a game changer. The fit and function of this radio is great. The radio provides the ability to work with repeaters which is a welcome addition. The screen is large enough to see and work with in any environment. The radio is my new go to when working in the outdoors. The radio sounds great and the controls feel great.
Got this a few weeks ago and it's quickly become my go-to handheld on the trail. It's the perfect high powered handheld when spotting and outside of the rig! Battery longevity has been fantastic. I'm heavy handed on my gear, so the rugged construction and the dust and water proof casing is essential for me. Intuitive to use and easy to read the screen! Another bullseye from Midland!
