Discover why PMR446 radios such as the Midland XT10 are so popular in Europe. • Part 1 - XT10 on Amazon* ➜ https://geni.us/d5I0J • Part 2 - Unboxing ➜ (1:27min) • Part 3 - Range Test ➜ (5:35min) • Part 4 - Summary Conclusion ➜ (8:49min) • *If you are located in the United States please make sure to use a FRS radio instead: • For example - Midland X-TALKER T71 ➜ https://geni.us/By3PJ • In this product review, we will have a closer look at license-free 2 way radios from Midland. • While we find a maximum range of 4 km (2,4 miles) listed on the package, in my opinion, such distances are only reached under optimal conditions (e.g. open line of sight). • More realistic is to assume a shorter range, because houses, trees, and other obstacles can reduce the signal quality significantly. • According to government regulation, PMR446 radios are not allowed to have a replaceable antenna, and can only transmit at a low output power of 0.5 watts. • Because of this, it is perfectly normal that these radios perform best in close range communication. • At first, a short range may seem like a disadvantage, but if you think about it, it also has advantages. • In a city with many users, simultaneous transmissions on the same channel, are less likely if the radios only have a short range. • The benefit, users are not constantly bothering each other on one of the 8-16 available PMR frequencies. • In addition, the low output power extends battery life, and you can use the radios longer while consuming less power. • Also, if your radio would transmit over longer distances, more people could listen in, which is also avoided by the weak transmission power. Because a potential eavesdropper would always have to be close enough to receive the signal. • In my test, the communication quality was good, personally, I think the Midland XT10 is targeted at the entry level occasional user. • If you plan to use your radios frequently, a different version that includes a charging cradle may be beneficial. • #ReviewTechTV • / Affiliate Links: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. / • // This video does not include product placement.
