There is a problem with the design, both of my units have an issue when you press the radio near the microphone, it transmits. Sometimes do not let you configure the radio because when I press the front keys it exits the configuration mode (Like when you press the PTT key).
Had to open the unit, insert a dielectric between the mic and the PCB and shave some plastic that make pressure over the mic.
Now the units can be used normally.

Great Product, I’ll recomend it to all users.
The only thing I find missing is that it does not support 110-240w power supply for world wide use.

I have the GXT900VP4 model and a friend just purchased this model. I found both to be excellent except for the weather radio function and the cheap rechargeable battery pack included. The weather radio sensitivity is so low that it is nearly unusable. It was unable to pick up a weather radio station that was picked up by an inexpensive ($30) weather radio. It would also be nice if Midland upgraded the rechargeable battery packs to a more modern type that holds its charge for more than a couple months. I found the battery pack Midland provided was always dead after I hadn’t used it for 2-3 months. And it’s likely the battery pack will no longer hold a charge if not recharged every 3 months or so. A rechargeable lithium or low self discharge nimh battery pack will hold its charge for more than a year and not need to be recharged every few months even if not used to keep the battery from degrading.

We bought this set to use between two motorcycle riders (separate bikes). Difficult to hear one another speak – likely due to wind interferring with small microphone. We plan to research other ear/mic pieces to use with 2-way radio.

This radio has much better coverage than I expected. I can talk accross a giant Wall Mart store with full quieting (no static) Good for finding my Fiance-saves time. I would have given it five stars exept I have a problem where the radio will not turn on after a full charge unless I take the battery pack out for a while and then put iy back in. I live in a Apartment complex and from in my Apartment I can talk to someone in another Apartment complex approx. 1 mile away.
