Unbeatable clarity!!!

Midland out did it self with this Radio. The features and power and love the look of it too! The audio sounds amazing, everyone who hears me talk on it says there is no comparison to the audio quality of other radios out there. This is my base station radio and talked 45+ miles on simplex and hitting repeaters 80+ miles away, that was just on Medium power too. The split tone is a great feature, plus Choosing between white band and narrow band is so helpful! Has a vary nice display screen with multiple color options and brightness.
The speaker is good and loud for noisy environments and it's water and dust resistance is well done in the connections on the radio and mic.
Another great feature is the NOAA weather radio option with the receiving weather Alerts a must have. The scan feature of this radio has the ability to skip channels you don't want to get stuck on if someone is occupying a particular channel and you what to Ignore that traffic on that channel and keep scanning. Easy to program and use!
Highly recommended!
Looking forward to upgrading my radio to the MXT500 for my car too!!

Excellent powerful radio with range to spare!

Radio has excellent range with the 50 watts of power, audio loudness is perfect for vehicles with more wind noise or larger offroad tires. The weather channel features is priceless when weather is moving in and no cell coverage is available. Install was pretty straight foward, unit size is pretty compact for how powerful it is and paired with the 6db antennna for the best performance.

I have been a radio hobbyist most of my life and owned many brands and models of radios, including several other Micro Mobile radios. The MXT500 is a fantastic unit that I would recommend to anyone. It has plenty of power, great audio quality and while very easy for new/novice operators to use, it has plenty of features to keep the advanced users very happy.
I mounted this radio in an offroad vehicle for trail use. The weather resistance is fantastic, with snug weather-pack style connectors for power and a sealed mic connector, not having to worry about moisture or dust getting into the radio while enjoying the mountains or desert is a huge plus.
With the wideband FM now featured in this radio, I get great audio reports when using the local repeaters, and with the radio matched to the repeater's bandwidth, the receive quality is much better than previous models.
For some more advanced users, features such as Split-Tones and additional programmable memories that actually allow you to transmit on the GMRS frequencies is wonderful. The programing software make light work of custom setup, too.
This radio is a "must have" for everyone.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This thing is an absolute beast. I've used this to communicate with others as far as 35miles so far and the communication was crispy clear. This of course was with another matching 50w radio and us elevated up on a mountainside to achieve proper line of sight. There's tons of features packed into this device even down to multiple display colors! Highly recommend this model if you're looking for a quality device from a quality brand.

Absolutely great GMRS only radio. I wish they would have opened up the RX channels to include more VHF channels. I get they want to keep it simple, but for the price, you should get more capability.

MTX500 finds it’s way into HQ1

We were fortunate enough to get our hands on one of these bad boys early on and let me tell you, it’s awesome! The MTX500 not only looks great and installs easily but has all the features you’ll need to keep your Comms up and running while out on your adventures. With its 50 watts and a property installed/placed antenna your reach is pretty impressive!
We have had the MTX115, MTX400, GTX1000s and now the MTX500 in HQ1 and have been increasingly impressed with the performance of all the Midland product line!
