I want to know if any of you guys use them both and if you can tell me which one is better. Specifically I end up choosing between the two:

i'm pretty sure i used inexpensive Motorola radios.

 

i didnt ask much of them. we used them when we would survey construction jobs.  yelling into a radio was way better than hand signals.   fun on cruise ships and big malls. basically line of sight communication.

 

hunting..it was Garmin GPS(i think the radios are motorolas?) radios.  about 5 mile range. i busted my butt in a mtnbike crash and ended my hopes of hiking to the ruins in Peru.  the rest of the group went without me.  wife and i took the bus up.  brother and i both packed our Garmins.  on the last day, i turned it on when the bus dropped me off at top.  my brother heard me from their last camp.  there was a zillion (easy daiwa fans) people up top and those radio were instrumental of us finding each other at the summit.

 

if you can..Garmin radio, which i believe are better motorolas.  i could be wrong.

We use the Midland LXT's in my hotel. They're inexpensive and they work just fine. I've never had the issue with my radio, but my associates keep losing the belt clips. We use them heavily and have to buy new rechargeable battery packs for them once a year.

 

I think they are a great value for the price.
