Title: Midland GXT1000VP4 50 Channel GMRS Two-Way Radio
Description: Gear up for the outdoors without sacrificing communication with the Midland GXT1000VP4 GMRS Walkie Talkie. It is a waterproof radio that provides clear point-to-point communication, with superior reception, transmission, and sound quality. The GXT1000VP4 meets the jis-4 standard of exposure to water, meaning it’s protected against light rain or splashing water from all directions on the radio. This radio features 142 privacy codes, 9 levels of eVOX - Hands-Free Operation, a 36 mile communication range, 10 Call alerts, SOS siren, and 50 GMRS channels (28 extra channels with pre-programmed privacy codes) with easy button access. The whisper feature allows you to instantly contact a member of your party without disturbing others. The GXT1000VP4 has dual power options - 1 rechargeable battery Pack per radio (included) or 4 “AA” alkaline batteries per radio (not included). The rechargeable battery packs take 12 hours to charge and provide up to 11 hours of battery life on a full charge. The weather scan feature finds the nearest NOAA broadcast to stay up to date with the latest weather and hazard information. The NOAA Weather Alert feature sounds an alarm indicating when severe weather could be present in your area.
