Midland GXT650 Ensures Hike Safety

Midland GXT650 are indispensable in exciting trips

Familiar mobile communication may be absent, have insufficient quality, or be expensive (in roaming) when away from home. When reliable communication between group members is needed, the event and safety may be at risk.

There is a solution: portable communication, or simply put, two-way radios. The main thing is that they must be convenient, reliable, and provide quality communication over a significant distance. For example, Italian Midland radios operate on amateur bands, run on batteries, which is very convenient in conditions without electricity.

Advantages of the Midland Radio

Pleasant design, compact (handy) dimensions are not the only advantages of these portable devices. For user comfort, they are equipped with features such as keyboard lock to prevent accidental presses, backlight for use in twilight, a vibration mode (ideal for hunters and security personnel), as well as channel scanning and noise suppressors. Midland radios also come in various colors, and the improved antenna enables communication over distances up to 18 km, across a wide temperature range (from minus 20 to plus 60 degrees Celsius).

If desired, the device can be programmed for voice activation and attached to clothing or luggage. The most powerful branded Midland GXT650 model has 69 working bands, a 5-Watt transmitter, and is waterproof.

Range of Application

All models of the Italian brand are successfully used for group coordination (in tourism, construction, security, transportation). Fishermen and climbers, yachtsmen and hunters, geologists and tour organizers have appreciated the Italian radios and the latest Midland GXT650 with its wide capabilities. And in conditions of hiking, this model is simply indispensable, since its powerful battery can maintain communication for up to 60 hours without recharging (standby mode), withstands up to two hours of talk time and up to 12 hours of reception.

The channel switching of the radio provides communication both with individual participants and with groups of tourists (employees); you can set desired ringtones in them, just like in a cell phone. Each kit includes not only chargers, but also voice headsets with clips, allowing you to free your hands as much as possible.

A car charging device is an additional bonus of the Midland GXT650, making the tour group more mobile and independent.
