Summary: Midland GXT720VP3
Comment: They work very well as hand held radios - as advertized. I did however purchase these units with the Midland AVPH1 Open Face Helmet Headset for Midland GMRS as a communications devices for scooter trips. They are not very loud. They are easily drowned out by wind and vehicle noises when used with an open faced helmet. To be fair they were only tested twice on busy freeways both times.
VOX is not a good idea on the freeway! Every truck or car that passes activates the VOX and transmits that noise. Perhaps in a quieter area like a country road they would be less likely to activate - I haven't tried this yet.
I will try placing something behind the ear speakers to bring them closer to the edge of the helmet padding to reduce the distance between the ear and the speaker this will probably help quite a bit.
I was disappointed that even on full volume standing still it was difficult to hear. There simply is not enough volume out of the box, to be used as motorcycle communications devices.

Summary: For the money; they're solid
Comment: Don't think you'll get advertised range out of any radio; that's under "perfect conditions" and "line of sight" (ie: over open water)
We use these for hiking trips and "getting lost in the mall" and they work well; we had some 10 mile units and these definately "punch thru" much better.

Summary: Good Reception, not a 30 miles in urban area
Comment: Hi.
I have purchase d the product two weeks ago and it seems to have pretty good reception range.
I've tested the range with my friend which live on a mountain aprox 10 KM away and we have a line of site. It had a good and clear reception.
In urban area with lot of buildings around it was dramatically reduced to 1 KM.
It is enough for my purposes.

Summary: Midland GXT720VP3 Review
Comment: Unfortunately this radio had not been reviewed prior to my purchase because it was a brand new product.
The batteries dies in a couple hours which isn't a surprise considering 5 watts of power but the battery level indicater always shows full charge...go figure.
Also, the directions are absolutely terrible, making the functions almost impossible to change. The menu codes are jibberish so you can't figure out how to navigate thru the functions.Midland GXT720VP3 36 Channel 30-Mile GMRS with NOAA All Hazard /Weather Alert, Pair
