Our take on the Midland GXT1050VP4 Two-Way Radio

The Midland GXT1050VP4 is a pair of waterproof GMRS two-way radios in a camo finish, sold as a two-pack for outdoor use. It has 50 channels (22 standard plus 28 GMRS), 387 privacy codes, NOAA weather channels with alert and scan, group and direct calling, an SOS siren and a backlit LCD. Midland rates range at up to 36 miles, but that figure only applies in wide-open terrain with no obstructions; expect roughly a mile or two in woods, hills or buildings. At $97.99 for the pair at eBay as of November 3, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range, with 8 stores listing it new.

  • Clear audio at close and mid range
  • Good value as a two-pack with rechargeable batteries
Cons
  • Real range falls well short of 36 miles
  • GMRS license is an extra step and cost
  • Battery life drops with heavy transmit use
  • Bulkier and heavier than basic FRS radios

Questions and answers

Do I need a license to use the Midland GXT1050VP4?
Yes. It transmits on GMRS frequencies, which require an FCC GMRS license in the US. The license covers your immediate family and lasts ten years.
Is the 36-mile range realistic?
No. That figure assumes open terrain with a clear line of sight. In woods, hills or around buildings, expect roughly 1 to 2 miles, and less inside structures.
How long does the battery last?
Midland rates the NiMH packs at about 11 hours. Heavy transmitting, high power and cold weather all shorten that, so plan on recharging nightly on multi-day trips.
Is it waterproof?
Yes, the radios are built to be waterproof and the camo housing is rugged. That covers rain and splashes, but it is not a dive-rated device.
How does it compare with the GXT1000?
Both are GMRS two-packs with similar power and weather features. The GXT1050VP4 adds the camo waterproof finish and group call features, so pick it if those matter and the GXT1000 if you want the lower price.
When is it cheapest?
Two-packs like this tend to dip around hunting season, Black Friday and Father's Day. At $97.99 at eBay as of November 3, 2026, it is already near the bottom of its recent range.
