Midland X-Talker T77VP5 review

The X-Talker T77VP5 is a license-free kit that arrives ready for a family road trip. The bundle includes two radios, belt clips, rechargeable battery packs, a desktop charger, an AC wall adapter, a micro USB charging cable, a 12V auto adapter, two boom microphone headsets and a soft carrying case. Midland lists 36 channels, 121 privacy codes, a weather alert radio with weather scan, silent operation, high and low power settings and eVOX hands-free talk. The headline range of up to 38 miles is a best-case figure. Midland's FAQ is more useful on battery life: it quotes around 5 hours at a 90-5-5 duty cycle on high power and suggests replacing the rechargeable packs every 9 to 12 months, though you can also run the radio on 3 AA alkaline batteries. That is short next to the multi-day Rocky Talkie radios, and Midland does not list a waterproof rating for this model.
