Excellent range and reliability

Coming from an MXT115, then to an MX400, and now using the MXT500.. I have had nothing but great experience with these micro-mobile units. I would highly recommend these units over the hand helds (although they are great as well) because they have more power, range, and you don't have to worry about battery life. The MXT500 is a big unit. I use Ram-mounts to mount it on my dash. Also note this unit requires you to push the volume button to power. (Some people get confused).
I would recommend this to a friend!

Legends Overlanding in Baja

Hi guys we are running adventure tours in Baja full time and have found midland to be our radio of choice. First they are so user-friendly. Everything on the face of the unit is easy to find and makes sense. The extra power on this unit has been great when we get into the canyons and are still trying to communicate with the team. We take safety very seriously and midland has given us a simple reliable way to stay in contact with our customers and team. Thanks guys another great product.

Great sounding and powerful radio!

Picked up this radio a couple weeks ago, got it installed in my 2021 Rubicon 392, and I'm very satisfied with it's size, looks, and performance. Heave gauge wiring, and solid mount. I was all over the dunes with my Jeep group this weekend, and never lost communication even when we were spread out all over!

The Future of GMRS

I had the opportunity to use the MXT500 while off-roading recently, and was blown away by the range and clarity! Not only was I able to communicate with others who were over 30 miles away from me, I was also able to hear them clearly without squelch or any feedback! Having the capability to communicate efficiently and effectively while out on the trails is all I could ever ask for! Thanks Midland for designing a GMRS Two-Way Radio that I can rely on when I need maximum range and clarity! I can't wait to use the MXT500 on my next outdoor adventure!

MXT500 Mobile Radio

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.
