Midland X-TALKER T51VP3 WALKIE TALKIE Range test in Surburbia 

Antennas are vertically polarized, hold the radio straight up and down. Not horizontal or Ground level.

These radios to me are only meant for on site operations or around the house. Liked the range testing though.

Thank you and Lucy so much for taking the time to do this test and make the video. Invaluable!! I am desperately searching for a solution to having no cell signal in a rural residential area. Your setting is a great comparison. Really helps me KNOW that there are big pitfalls with this approach. I don’t think my older partner would be able to make out the garble at all. You just saved me a tonne of frustration.

How high the antana is makes a difference. So with it on the ground is the worst way to use it. I think that they test them in perfect conditions and if they can get it to work once at a range that is what they say.

This videos deserves likes

Thanks!!! finally a review which helps describe how it would work in my town.

ALL family service radios are under F C C rules and reg. meaning thay all have a transmitter rated at one and one half watts there two miles or line of site I am licensed for G M R S which is the other side of the radio.

Very nice video :-). Thanks for sharing. Mine just arrived yesterday after buying them from Costco online. Tested yesterday evening, and again half an hour ago with me (driving in car) and my daughter at home (watching TV). Got a good range of 1.1 km (1100 meter) on channel 15, that is from my home to her school on all the 3 radios. There are 60 homes and 2 parks in between. Air distance is 1 km. I have applied different colored (red, green, yellow) 5 mm diameter circular stickers on them (near root of antenna) to identify them. Same stickers on their battery packs too. I purchased them to use on cruise ship. Hope they will work well :)

This is the best review video I have ever seen. Could haven’t ask for a better partner. I did purchase these same talkies.

Great video, I love you added your daughter to help. She looks like 6/7 there so she should be like 9 now, same age as my daughter. At that age my daughter was daddy little girl, she's slowly not having time for me anymore these days😔

I just got mine also from Uline as free item. 😅

20 mile plus range on a hill top or mountain good video post....we upgrade pur Midland radios to 3 watts most can be modded....

Nice review

Your on ch 1 which is the family band with limited range....try this out again but on channel 15 you'll thank me later lol... Basically anything ch 14 and up extends the range on these little radios..oh i know i know you need a fcc license too talk up there cough😂😂 do it anyways wooptie do

I’ve got the t295 and they really don’t go far. But what do you want for 100$ bucks.

2:52 she was just sitting there staring at the camera

Would these be good for kayaking?

Nice radios, but took mine back!.....they don't cut it for prepping or communication around town........And you can get REAL "gmrs" radios for $25 all day long!(baofeng, retevis, BTech).....and connect to Repeater towers for Serious range!.......you NEED a license for these.......However, these midlands are good for kayaking, or hiking, events........but if you live in Wooded areas, or want something for prepping, GET a real Gmrs radio....there's more of a learning curve, but you can hit Towers, and talk 60+ miles away

EXCELENTE VIDEO. :)

Great kid!

I love that you took the time to make this review could you give me the max range?

Thanks for making this video. I'm at Sam's Club and just saw your video while watching them for sale. What was the farthest you were able to get good voice quality? Are they really worth it?

What's best for city use? I want something good for 7 to 10 miles. Thanks.

Lucy looks like a freaking ninja!

So it was you who I could here through my TV set last night.

Child talking with The Radio on the Ground? Training...

1 Kilometer = 0.62137119224 Miles in case your wondering. So this isn't an impressive distance.

My walkie talkie that says 3km range but i can do a 100m range

Ok that’s exactly how I got mine lol

Children have to be instructed in operation of any Transmitter. The Roger Beeps can be turned off on these. Annoying. Most Adults without. Experience have enough issues.

Lucy can yo hear me ova?

kilometers...omg
