Skillfully constructed with the finest components, the Midland GXT850 is built with all solid-state circuitry mounted on a rugged, printed circuit board to provide you with reliable and trouble-free performance for years to come.

The Midland XT511 radio provides you with seven GMRS/FRS, seven FRS (Family Radio Service) and seven GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) channels, for a total of 22 UHF channels. Additionally, the XT511 comes with 121 privacy codes to lessen interference or eaves-dropping, as well as all 10 NOAA weather channels and a NOAA weather alert function. This powerful radio has an easy-to-read backlit LCD display that shows status information at a glance even in difficult lighting, and is operated by large easy-to-use dials and buttons on the front, providing quick access to important features and push-button communication. More than just an emergency radio, however, this unit provides you with an AM/FM radio for entertainment, a clock with an alarm clock function, and a three-LED flashlight for illuminating your way at night.

The XT511 radio is full of convenient features such as five separate call alerts that identify incoming calls from your group, and a e-VOX function with three selectable sensitivity levels for voice-activated, hands-free operation. This radio also features a channel scan for locating active channels, and a keypad lock so you don't accidentally change your settings.

Customer reviews for "Midland XT511 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Emergency Crank Radio"

«Great Radio, but battery lacks»

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.

«Feature Packed»

Many great features, only down side is setup is not easy. All worked as expected. Shipping was ahead of schedule, nice.

«Run Away, Run Away»

I own/operate a Recreational facility, and have been using small $10 radios for the past 16 years I have been open. I was looking for an AC run base to use rather than one of the employee radios. Despite all the bad reviews, I decided to try it for myself. I packed it back up the same day. I only needed the GMRS radio, so the other options I will not remark on. The handheld radios I use now, Cobra PR 255-2 VP, can transmit and receive perfectly anywhere on our 30 acre park, even with high power lines, and very dense trees. I keep my handheld radio(Cobra) in the store, and use it every day with perfect results. This Midland XT511 radio was having problems from inside the store to employee radios that were not even 200 feet outside, transmitting and receiving. The XT511 would cut off the first few words they would say, and they got the same results when I was transmitting.
A really odd thing... I also use a regular home scanner to monitor our radio frequency, in the store. When the XT511 is on, it constantly transmitts a pulse that is picked up by the scanner. The only way to get rid of it was by turning the scanner squelch all the way up. Unfortunatly, this also removed any possibility of receiving the employee transmissions.
I used the XT511 on the AC adapter, and on HIGH POWER. I contacted Midland, and they told me it was a 4 Watt Transmitter (since I could not find the information anywhere else, including their site). I could not believe this thing cost 5 times more then my little handheld radios, and was basically useless. If anyone is looking for a portable transmitter for Emergency Use, LOOK ELSEWHERE.
