Digital camera reviews of Midland XT511 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Emergency Crank Radio
Digital camera Review: Great Radio, but battery lacks
Summary: 4 Stars
This radio works great over the two way function.
It works even better over the air weather reception and radio stations.
The only complaint is the battery. It does not stay charged very well.
Midland batteries are usually fantastic; perhaps we got a dud battery.
Digital camera Review: Great emergency radio
Summary: 5 Stars
This radio is performing great for me! I and my wife loves it!! AM radio works fine, (don't forget that AM is directional, you have to turn the actual radio to get best reception) FM radio, gets all the stations in my area perfectly, yeah the sound isn't the best but c'mon its a little mono radio! Its not supposed to sound like your home theatre system! ;-) WX, picks up the weather stations fantastically!! Haven't had a Alert yet so can't comment on that. No weather alerts in the past few days here in Boston.
GMRS, transmits great, receives great! only tested it out over a couple miles so far. But man over all this is a fine emergency radio, I have 4 Rechargeable AA energizer 2500 MAH batteries and currently running it on the Rechargeable side to run it out and test out the dynamo crank. Oh and hey it can also charge your freaking cell phone through the USB port!! C'mon you can't beat that in a emergency!!!! I will update this review when I hand crank the rechargeable batteries once these run down to one line left and let you know how that works. Take care everybody and stay safe!!!
Digital camera Review: Great multi-function radio
Summary: 5 Stars
The Midland XT511 Radio was more than I was expecting. The multi power source and it's other diversified electronics ability makes this an exceptionally good buy. The two-way radio also has very good range under less than ideal conditions. I am also a retired ET, with more than thirty years repairing two-way radios and also an amateur radio operator of may more years.

Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for work. I use the radio in my postal vehicle. It works great. I got the brand from another carrier who has one too. That's all I use it for, though.Digital camera Review: It could be better!
Summary: 4 Stars
It's a good radio that does what it's supposed to do. However, if it had manual tuning instead of electronic tuning it would be a much better radio.
