For those of us interested in GMRS radio's for trail comms, Midland is now offering a MXT500 GMRS mobile radio that puts out 50 watts of power. That's quite a jump from the 15 watts the MXT115 is putting out in my Ranger.
The MXT500 50-watt MicroMobile Two-Way Radio brings clear and crisp communication with easy button access.
The USB-C port on the radio unit gives you the fastest charge time for your devices like cellphones, tablets, and handheld radios.
It also features 15 high/medium/low power channels with GMRS only channels 1-7 and 15-22.
You'll also be able to stretch that range with the MXT500's eight repeater channels and split tone capabilities. However, while you expand your range, you'll be able to keep communications to yourself with 142 privacy codes.
Take safety into your own hands as the MXT500 features NOAA Weather Radio. This way, you'll be instantly notified if any severe weather is headed your way, giving you the time you need to seek proper shelter.
Additional Features include:
They're also releasing a MXT575 radio this summer.
Want to expand your radio range to the furthest level without crowding your dashboard? If so, Midland's MXT575 is the perfect radio for you.
Built with 50-watts of power, the MXT575 is the most powerful radio allowed by law.
You won't have to worry about static communication because the MXT575 has clear and crisp communication with easy button access.
Fit with a fully integrated microphone, you can store the radio unit away, freeing up your dash space. A popular installation is under the passenger seat.
The MXT575 also has 15 high/low power channels with GMRS specific channels 1-7 and 15-22.
You can expand your range even further with the use of a repeater. The MXT575 has eight repeater channels, but you won't have to worry about others jumping in on your communications as the 575 also has 142 privacy codes.
Fit with NOAA Weather Radio, the MXT575 will automatically alert you anytime inclement weather is headed your way. This will give you peace and mind, allowing you to seek shelter when necessary.
