The newest GXT1000 radios made after Sept 2018 under FCC ID MMAGXT1050G are now only 2.5w. These radios are junk. If you can find GXT1000s a bit older before 2018 under the FCC ID MMAGXT1050P, those are a bit better at 3.07w. Then there's the totally discontinued GXT1000s manufactured before 2015 that have FCC ID MMAGXT950 that have the full advertised 5.33w. If you can get your hands on these older radios, they are amazing. **Q: do I need a gmrs license?** A: From someone who has worked at the FCC since the rule change, to the best of my knowledge: any GMRS or GMRS/FRS radio which is CAPABLE of operating above 2w of power requires a license, even if you only intend to use the lower powered channels. Currently the fee is $70 for a 10 yr term and it does of course cover immediate family members. The radio service code is ZA and you can to go to FCC.gov/uls to file. If you're having trouble, use the paper forms or call the 877 number for help. There IS temporary operating authority available while the app is being processed, for up to 90 days. Download the 605 Schedule F from FCC.gov/forms, fill it out, and keep that on hand along with a reference copy of the application (available right after you submit, or in ULS License Manager under My Applications). In reference to the shutdown: they're processing apps received during the shutdown but the latest public notice says to give it up to a few weeks. Use your temporary in the meantime. If you apply now, they're saying the newer apps should be processed in the typical 1-3 business days, assuming all goes well. **Q: what is the best REAL range I can expect?** A: There are certainly many different choices available to folks regarding radio choices. Many consumers, however, fall into the trap of believing the misleading advertising that various manufacturer’s use to help sell their products, especially when they are in panic mode due to a natural disaster (like an earthquake) or (currently) various lock-down scenarios due to the latest overseas virus. One frequently used example of this buying trap are the claims of 35 to 50 mile range from 1/2 watt UHF FRS/GMRS handheld radios with non-removable antennas (frequently seen on various Cobra, Midland, Motorola, and Uniden radios sold at various big box stores or on the internet). At UHF frequencies (and with a decent antenna), you’ll normally get around 1 mile of range for every 1 watt of power on transmit, so a 1/2 watt big box store FRS/GMRS radio is likely to get only 1/2 mile of range, nowhere near the 35 to 50 mile claims shown on the box in large type (with the phrase “under optimum conditions” shown in very small type). What that means is that if one individual is standing near the cliff face on a tall 9,000 ft. high mountain and his friend is doing the same thing 35 miles away (with nothing between the two mountains but air), then they “may” get the 35 mile range as advertised. When both individuals are at ground level, normal range is reduced to a 1/2 mile (or less) depending upon obstructions that may be in their way. **Q: can you also use AA batteries to power these radios?** A: Yes you can, however the output power will drop drastically (form 5 to I think about 2W) with no indication on the display - it would still show “H” for High power. With the included battery pack though (which is essentially 5 1.2 NiMH AAA batteries in series) it achieves 5W transmit power. Which means if you buy it because of 5W output you must use battery pack. However battery pack does not last long. It is only 700mAh. Radio consumes 42mA on standby. So about 16 hours standby time if you don’t transmit. Charding time on the other hand is 12 hours. Make your own conclusions. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product. You can stop looking. *by G***E on March 10, 2025* These are great quality devices. We have been buying these for years for the neighborhood emergency block captains to communicate. Inexpensive and great features. Good range and good accessories. Included lithium battery pack and multiple charge options. I will buy these again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Radios . . . Headsets are not great *by W***N on February 13, 2023* I bought the 3 pack to be able to communicate with my party in the Arizona desert. The radios worked crystal clear at nearly 3 miles, and showed no signs of weakening signals. That is as far apart as we got this time, But I believe that they will work to any reasonable distance. The headsets, now they were not made to the same standard as the radios. I have small ears and I had trouble getting one mounted on my ear. I had to stretch the ear loop to get it onto my ear. It was very uncomfortable and the mike was a great distance from my mouth. I tried to adjust it close to my mouth. It took five tries to get it bent enough to be close to my mouth, the mike ended up bent almost 45 degrees to the ear piece. Then even on max sensitivity it would only pick up my voice if I talked really loudly, and then it sometimes cut out in the middle of my transmission. It also didn’t pick up my voice all the time. Not only that but the ear loop is hard plastic and becomes uncomfortable quickly. My two companions also had the same problem. So we ditched the earpieces and just used them old school. We were more than happy with the radios and give them five stars. I will be purchasing better headsets from Midland to use with these radios. I recommend the radios for anyone wanting a great radio for short to medium range communications, these are perfect. Longer range requires more wattage. Under the right conditions and minimum obstructions, you MAY get close to the advertised distance, but if you get 3 to 5 miles, that is super for ANY GMRS radio. And for the price you can’t go wrong.For me, they perform the job that I needed with room to spare. Try them, you will be pleased.Update: Last night I was sitting in my RV and started playing with the radios. I asked for a radio check, expecting that any response would be from close by. I received a check from a base station that is Close to 8 miles from my location. I was inside an RV in the desert about 8 miles from town and communicated with a base station in the edge of town. Both radios were coming in loud and clear. This was in flat basically open desert. I don’t know what the range would be in town or in the woods, but I am happy with these little radios. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than before! *by R***F on December 21, 2024* We have looking for a decent two way radio system for months and we finally have a winner (for us at least). The Midland GMRS 3000 has better sound quality than many others. The volume ,especially, is much better than previous models. We have to make a conscious effort to not dial the volume up as much as we used to. The practical effective range of any GMRS radio, regardless of brand will never be as high as manufacturers claim UNLESS you have perfect straight line of sight between the radios. However we seem to get better range out of this model when compared to previous radios. This means an effective range of approx. 1.5 mile in areas of obstructed line of sight. These are more convenient then cell phones in many cases such as shopping in crowded stores, around our property, airport terminals, cruise ships etc. Instant communication is great without having to text someone and and wait for a response. There are earpieces provided if you care to use them. Recharging the battery packs is accomplished by either placing both or either them in the desk top charger or individually with the provided USB cord. The weather stations are nice too when you need to know about alerts when planning your activities. We have not used the repeater channels yet until we are more familiar with the process. A repeater can give you much better range. This radio ALSO has Family Radio Service channels which operate at a bit less power as I understand. No license is needed for FRS usage. However, a license is required for GMRS channels. This is a 10 year license, obtainable from FCC for about 35 dollars, covers your immediate family, and no test is needed!! Remember, these won't communicate across town or in congested city areas, but, for instant contact with in range, they work very well for us! ## Frequently Bought Together - Midland GXT1000VP4 - 50 Channel GMRS Two-Way Radio - Long Range Walkie Talkie with 142 Privacy Codes, SOS Siren, and NOAA Weather Alerts and Weather Scan (Black/Silver, Pair Pack) - ANKHOH Walkie Talkie Case Holder for 50 Channel GMRS Two-Way Radio, Long Range Handheld Mobile Radios Hard Storage Carrying Box for Rechargeable Batteries, Charger and Headset, Black(Bag Only) - Midland® – AVP17 Rechargeable Battery Packs for Midland® GXT1000, GXT1030, GXT1050, T290 and T295 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1145157-midland-gxt1000vp4-gmrs-two-way-radio-50-channel-long-range](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1145157-midland-gxt1000vp4-gmrs-two-way-radio-50-channel-long-range) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
