Title: MIDLAND GXT600 Best of its class.
Review: I have owned many brands of FRS radios previously including Motorola, Cobra Uniden, and other Midland radios. I found all of them to perform poorly. Prior to purchasing the Midland GXT-600 radios I considered the available FRS radios too unreliable for many trips. However, the GXT-600 is definitely a cut above. The fit and finish of the product is good and sturdy. The radio gets nowhere close to the 18 miles advertised, but it does transmit the farthest of any FRS I have owned. Think 4-5 miles at best. Reception is clear. The antenna, while little better than a dummy load, does radiate the transmitter's 5 watts better than most. I have been very pleased overall with the GXT-600. Finally a FRS radio worth packing.
