The Midland T10 x-talker Walkie Talkie is an easy-to-use, license-free, and low cost yet reliable solution to long-range communication. It is a water resistant radio that provides clear point-to-point communication, reception, transmission, and sound quality. Connection to other FRS/GMRS two way radios is limitless as long as you connect to the same channels/frequencies. The T10 features 38 privacy codes, 22 scannable channels, eVOX - Hands-Free Operation, and easy button access. Unlike other FRS walkie talkies on the market that use lithium batteries, each T10 x-talker is powered by 3 “AAA” Alkaline batteries (not included). The NOAA Weather Alert feature sounds an alarm indicating severe weather could be present in your area.
