Rating: Summary: Not happy..yet. Review: After reading the reviews this seemed like a good purchase, except for people saying that either they did not work when they arrived, or they died soon after. I ordered two, and when they arrived, one did not work. I have sent it back and we will see how long it takes to replace and if the new one works.
Rating: Summary: Good deal for the money. It makes a great spare FRS radio. Review: We already own a pair of Motorola 280SLK's. We bought this one for our son. It's easier to to deal with a $29 radio being lost compared to one that cost $129. It works well when we communicate with our Motorola radios. The buttons are easy for a child to use. Battery life is very good. We bought some AA NiCd recharable batteries. I'm glad we bought it and our son has fun using it.
Rating: Summary: Midland 75-407 Review: These handheld radios are excellent. They have a great range and you can't beat the price. You can't go wrong with these radios!
Rating: Summary: Great Value! Review: As a volunteer fireman, emergency medical responder and a member of a K-9 search team I have radio equipment that is on the public service frequencies. That stuff is expensive. This Midland is a surprising value for the price. Good basic communication, clarity and straightforward operation are pluses. Spouse says it is big on Cute and that counts to her. Mostly, I am surprised by the quality rec'd for the money paid. Very enthusiastic about use fishing on river, working on property or apart when 4 wheeling.
