    hi
    I have an older set of the Midland handhelds that were top of the line a few years ago. I also noticed the short battery life, especially in VOX mode. We replaced the supplied battery pack with four rechargeable high milli amp hour rated AA batteries and keep the original packs charged in our pockets for backup. Have not needed them since the change out.

    In case anyone is curious about Amateur (ham) Radio, goto ARRL.COM for all your information. I am an Amateur Extra Class and have been licensed for 43 years. It is a great hobby and provides many choices for reliable communication.

    There are some but none likely to exceed 50 watts since that's the max wattage, and you get get radios that do that.

    A recent FCC Report and Order has dropped the licensing fee for GMRS from $70 to $35.
    Unfortunately it has also raised the ham radio licensing fee from free to $35.
