Easy to use emergency radio. Rechargeable batteries last well on receive. I wish the radios were a bit more sensitive to bring in more stations on all of the bands. Great for monitoring weather and scanning the GRMS/FRS frequencies. A++

I bought this radio for emergency communications during a power outage or other such situations. It came well-packaged and is easy to set up and operate. I like the am/fm and weather radio functions, as well as the GMRS functions which works fine with my other GMRS radios. The compact size is nice. I am not sure of the range of this radio, but close local communications are my main concern. Overall, a very nice radio with alot of functions at a very nice price.
Had a little issue with rechargeable battery pack the seller took care of right away. This base camp radio was discontinued by Midland but I don't think they knew what a great product they had. It didn't get much publicity but now these are sought after for emergency and mobile needs. It is powered via rechargeable battery pack, AA's, AC or crank dynamo which recharges the battery pack. It's also a AM/FM/Weather Bands radio, flash light and two-way (walkie-talkie) base station with 22 stations and numerous sub-stations. I'll admit it's instructions are a bit complicated as it has numerous settings but it sends and receives messages very well. Would be great camping or in emergency situations.

I've had my eye on this neat little radio for years now, finally decided to just go for it. I enjoy collecting nearly all kinds & types of radios, so I had to have this one. It combines a standard AM/FM radio, weather radio & FRS/GMRS two-way transceiver. The XT511 also features a bright flash light, USB charge jack and a hand crank to charge the supplied rechargeable battery. There are a few little things I'll nitpick on this, for one (and this seems to occur in most Midland FRS/GMRS radios with weather alert) the weather alert feature seems to activate for no particular reason. The USB charging jack doesn't seem to work well, I tried to charge my dead cell phone with it & gave up after 48 hours, the radio was plugged into it's power supply. I'd also like the option to activate the display backlight continuously. Otherwise, this is a fun little gadget and a great emergency radio. Great for camping, hiking, fishing, road trips, and a wonderful device to have all charged & ready to go in the event of severe weather & power outages.Read full review
