Midland Radio introduces the NEW 2012 - 2013 X-tra Talk series of FRS / GMRS two way radios
20th Apr 2012
Among new products to be introduced this year is the new GXT2000 Series. According to Midland, the new GXT2000 and GXT2050 radios will each offer a large, easy to read LCD display. A fast charging, higher capacity lithium polymer battery will also be included to provide longer battery life. This battery can charge from 0-90% in about an hour and trickle charge the final 10% in less than another. The battery upgrade will be a welcome one for hikers, campers and others who love the outdoors and need a battery that charges faster and lasts longer out in the field.
In addition to the new models, Midland's 2012 - 2013 lineup includes two popular, tried and true standards, the GXT1000VP4 and the GXT1050VP4.
All Midland two way radios include a 3 year warranty, proving their commitment to stand behind their products. Click on the model number listed below to learn more, plus check out the new Spec Sheets available online.
