I'm a long time user of Midland GMRS radios. We use these in the Western mountains of N. Carolina where cell phone connections are sketchy.. Primarily we communicate between our truck, base unit, and Polaris side by side. This unit is replacing our older less powered MXT 400 and hoping the additional range will be really noticeable. Another big win for this radio in the inclusion of the weather bands which were absent on the 400s.. will update post once we get it up and running.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Install is really straight forward, I wish that a fuse adapter to plug into an empty fuse spot would be included. That is very nit picking though.

Mxt500 radio by Midland is a easy to use radio that will satisfy the user with good range and ease of use. Have ran mine as a mobile and base and it has been dependable in the mountainous area that I live in. Output signal is measuring @ 49 watts. Thanks Midland!

Radio was easy to install and easy to use. We talked ten miles through heavy wooded area in eastern NC with the small antenna that comes with radio.

What an AWESOME transceiver. I am using this as a mobile base station, and both the reception and transmission reception and quality are absolutely amazing. I use this to stay in touch with both my kids as they are walking to/from school. This is an excellent consumer grade radio for those getting into licensed GMRS as both a hobby, and is the perfect set for diving right in for practical use.
Some special notes: You MUST connect this to an adequate power source delivering at least 5 amps of current at 12VDC.
Pros: Love the repeater capability, and is simple enough for me to better understand and learn how repeater technology works; Love the adjustable transmission power on the higher channels. Easy, simple to use and configure.
Cons: I only have one. It is small, but significant to me, in that it lacks a setting to turn on a "Roger Beep". Not a big deal (I simply verbally transmit "over"), but would be nice to have. I am hopeful that this can be added as part of a firmware update.
I would recommend this to a friend!
