 Radio Review October 9, 2008
Anthony M. Gura (Meriden, CT)
I'm very pleased with the system. My only complaint is the lack of notches or stops on the volume control, allowing accidental resetting of the volume.
Great clarity August 30, 2008

I agree with everything RS said.
These hand helds are loaded with advanced features. Some of the features I will most likely never use, but they are worth the purchase price, just the same. They work well with the older GXT808 set I have. I have not found a maker that offers better voice clarity. I am somewhat hard of hearing on certain tones.
I use these to communicate between 6 cars as we travel into Mexico, monthly. Everyone likes them. I did upgrade to the Midland behind the neck boom mic. This way, I can hear the other cars and still have a conversation in my vehicle. I would have given these 5 stars, if the volume was just a tad louder. This is a quality Midland product and not a toy.
 Impressed so far August 3, 2008

Just picked up a set of the GXT950's today, and expected to have to charge for 24 hours before use, but the batteries were fully charged out of the package. This was an upgrade from some cheaper smaller radios and I refused to buy a new set until these were released. They feel very good in the hand, have easy controls, plenty of volume (except the animal call tones)! The voice quality is very good and clear with and without the included headsets. I have not had a chance to range test them in a rural area yet, but will be soon. The belt clip is also a spring clip, rather than a cheaper non-hinged clip. They are a little bulky, but are still relatively light.
The instructions are easy to follow, but the menu items don't make sense without looking up the abbreviations in the manual. You can set up groups, set up ID's within the group for handhelds, do direct calls and communication to specific handhelds, and assign your own caller ID so other people know who is calling within the group. It does indeed have 42 channels, but the manual only lists the frequencies for the first 22 channels. Some of the upper channels can be used in Hi power and some only in Low (Hi power assuming you have a GMRS license that is - I am legal). The channel scan feature is kind of slow - about 2 or 3 channels a second - surprising since the small cheap ones of other brands have fast channel scanning. However, if using these for what they are meant to be used for, you won't be scanning for other peoples conversations anyways.
