I like the radio. It has good range and the communication clarity is great. I also like the large clear display. Be aware that the quick disconnect bracket that is shown in the product photo’s, instruction manual and on the box does not come with the radio. The actual bracket included is just a standard u bracket.

This radio is simple to use and is just the ticket for a basic base station setup. The family started using it immediately after hooking it up.

I bought this radio thinking it was going to be more heavy-duty quality because the price point Midland has it at. I was disappointed. It isn't as heavy-duty as you would expect. One issue I see happening is the the microphone cord will deteriorate and crumble at some point soon. Also case of radio seems like it could crack if something were to fall on it. Not sure if it's made of die-cast or whatever it is but just seems low quality. The idea of this radio is great and the cosmetic design is actually nice. If this was built to LMR Mil-spec ratings and quality it would be worth the price. Even Midland C.B. radios are made of steel and better quality. Also as far as function, it works great as far as I can tell, no issues there. I do believe they should update the firmware to allow "D.I.Y." channels so we can program multiple repeats of repeater frequencies with different tones. In my area we have 30 (and growing) GMRS repeaters including one of my own on a commercial radio site. So long story short, lower your price to a more realistic price and update firmware to allow more repeater channels.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Both these products work amazingly well and are perfectly sized for installation in my 21 Toyota Tacoma. Will be purchasing some more handhelds in the future
