Review on 📻 Midland LXT630VP3 36-Channel FRS Two-Way Radio: 30 Mile Range Walkie Talkie with Privacy Codes, NOAA Weather Scan & Alert - 2 Pack (Yellow/Black) by Mark Allen

I thought I did some research but I missed a lot of other data. After purchasing and testing the Midland LXT600 in a suburban area with trees and houses, the best communication distance is less than 1 mile. After researching more about FRS and GMRS I found a page with more details on expected frequency and distance. Visit the BuyTwoWayRadios website for a good explanation of the frequency and distance charts. If you have a communication line you can increase the distance, but with obstacles like trees, houses, and hills, you're lucky if you go 1 mile. The VOX would be great if it didn't pick up all outside noise like traffic and wind. Maybe better with an extra headset and microphone.
