Very easy install. Crisp, clear reception. Easy to use hand mic. And I like that the speaker is in the small base unit. I added an external speaker to my Cobra handheld CB, in my Jeep. I planned to do the same for this unit. But the volumn is so good on this unit that I may not have to use an external speaker
This is the second MXT275 I've purchased, and I love the idea of them. Having all the controls in the handset is such a game-changer! I have the head unit mounted out of the way, which is perfect because I don't really have space on my dash to put the head unit there. And the ghost antenna is perfect! I wanted that instead of the magnet one so that it wouldn't get blasted away in a car wash, and I'm definitely grateful I chose to do that. 10/10, I have these in two of my vehicles and if I had more vehicles I'd probably have more radios too!
I bought this for my Ram 2500 Power Wagon. The install was straightforward. I went back and forth on the models I wanted. I decided on this version, so that I didn't have to look down to see what channel I was on, etc. Mounting the micromobile on top of my radio was not an option as I have seen others do. I have a bulletpoint phone mount that takes up that area and I was not giving that up. I hope to use this in Colorado this year. I will update my review if anything changes. The mount I used for the Ghost antenna I found on Amazon. I powder coated it to match my truck as close as possible. The mount that came with this kit would not work on my truck. I will use it on my side by side for something I’m sure.
I won't dock this a star, but I did have a question on how to run the extra antenna wire I ended up with, roughly 10 feet. I called and left a VM with support and never heard back from them. I am a little disappointed in that. My question to them was can I roll the slack and zip tie it? Or do I need to find a way to run the extra wire so it's not coiled together. Or do I find someone that can cut it to fit? I have heard that in some instances coiling coax antenna cable could cause some issues.
I bought the MXT275 for my 4x4. Not Only does it work great, but I was able to tuck it away nice and neat with the help of an install write up on Midland USA’s website.
We use the radios on our feedlot for the feed truck drivers. Have worked very well for us. The range has been very good too. Is easy to set up and use.
Bought this to use on off road trail and it works amazing. It took me less than 15 minutes to get it all hard wired to my Tacoma and ready to use. Simple and easy controls as well. Like how it’s all in one hand.
