our operation has purchased 7 of these so far in the past few months to try it out. very impress with the range of it! clarity is fairly decent as well. We will be purchasing a few more in the near future. sponsor us?
We've had Midland GXT1000 handheld units for 6 or 7 years. Given recent uncertainty, I wanted to have a backup form of comms. for my family, and so I installed Midland MXT115 in my truck at Christmas. I was so impressed with the range and features, I ordered two more MXT115's and I put on in my office as a base station, and one in my wife's car. I can reach her from my office to hers, which is 9 miles in a straight line. I have no doubt that 15-20 miles is a reasonable range to achieve here in my town. In an emergency preparation scenario, I highly recommend Midland GMRS as affordable, accessible and reliable.
Got a pair of these for traveling. Now when we get separated and have no cell phone coverage( yes there a lot of dead spots), we can communicate. CB was the norm before but now these are much better and hey, they came all ready to use.
I had rugged radios and CBs in the past, which I always found difficult to connect with my friends on. Midland’s are one million times easier to use and fit nicely on the center console of my 2015 JKU
Mounted this ultra small (you're not prepared for how small it is if you're coming from the old CB days) inside my CanAm X3 and headed into the woods. The range was great, the speaker was super loud and could be heard through my helmet over the motor noise, and can't say enough about this great product. I plan to do a more permanent installation soon with the 3db Ghost antenna but cannot recommend this enough.
I bought several of the MXT115 radios about a month ago. Have been very impressed with the range they give us. I also like the fact that when I wired the radios to the ignition switch they will turn on when I start the truck or tractor. That way the radio is always on while using the equipment and gets shut off when the tractor gets shut off and no run down batteries.
