I have been using this radio, paired with a nagoya ut-72, for 5 years. It's small in size, but isn't lacking in capabilities. I have it installed in my jeep. I am able to use repeaters as far 40 miles away.The built-in weather radio receiver is an excellent addition. The only gripe I have: the weather radio doesn't have S.A.M.E. technology. As a result, should one choose to activate the weather alert function, the alarm will sound whenever the local noaa transmitter issues alerts for any county in its broadcast area.The gmrs radio band is taking off across the country. It, along with c.b. radio, is ideal for anyone who wants reliable communications.

Bought one for each of our polaris rzr trails so we could keep in contact when out in the woods. Cell service is very spotty where we ride and can't always get a call off exactly when needed. While we couldn't reach quite a far as anticipated, it is some very dense scrubby section. We could reach over a mile with very little static even with the antenna mounted below roof level because of low hanging branches. Near the back area it would go over 2 miles with less scrub between us. Can't wait to get out on the dunes with them. Small size made it easy to find a spot to mount it as well.

When I got my GMRS license 3 years ago I picked up a Midland MXT275 and loved it. Since then I have picked up many other radios and have found my way back to simplicity. Are these perfect for SXS/offroading? Yes! Are these perfect for a GMRS beginner wanting to get on repeaters and learn the hobby? Absolutely! Are these good for an avid GMRS user who needs a simple radio to use mostly for simplex on the farm, small buisness, and for traveling in groups? Heck yes! I only have 2 repeaters near me that I talk on and both are on different channels. 85% of the time I am on the radio I am on simplex either on the farm, at my small business, or traveling to with my sxs riding group. This little radio is perfect for what I need. If you were like me with a big bulky over featured radio that you might use 30% of it's features- give this a shot. Sometimes less is more! On top of that, Midland quality is amazing.

I originally purchased one of these radios to help over come the challenges of instant communication between my parents property and where I camp at the Grand Canyon Caverns. There is very, very little cell service in that area of rural Arizona.I already had a pair of Midland X-talkers that this radio would connect to. The campground is located 2.6 miles as the crow flies from my parents home. The terrain is hilly with scrub oak scattered through. The only way that I could hear them is if the drove to the top of their hill which is about 75 yards closer than their home. It was staticky, but I could make them out. They could hear me loud and clear. So I decided to purchase a second one of these radios and boy did they perform better than expected. We were able to communicate 5x5 just East if Peach Springs, Az. which is about 9.5 miles as the crow flies from their home. There was one little dead spot as I got closer to the bottom of a large hill just before the Nelson plant turn off, but returned to 5x5 after rounding it. It was only about a 100 yards for that dead zone. Once I got to my campsite I actually had the radio and antenna setup in side the travel trailer and we were both transmitting to each other as if we were standing next to one another. I can’t wait to get a couple of the 6db gain that is available for these radios hooked up to see how they perform.Keep in mind that you do need to obtain a license from the FCC to operate on GMRS frequencies which I do have. It was a one time fee of $70 for a 10 year license and it covers my immediate family. That breaks down to $7 dollars a year. Not to bank breaking.I’ve been a fan of 2-way radios since the days of my youth of watching the Dukes boys elude Sherrif Rosco P. Coltrane and Officers Baker and Poncherello use them to foil the bad guys plans. So when I seen these little guys I felt like Ralphie looking through the window at Higbee’s!They come with all the basics to get started. Antenna, mounting hardware, power supply, radio and mic. Shoot, I have a Cobra 29 NW ST that I bought like 19 years ago that is brand new, still in the box. Never took the time to have it installed because I couldn’t find the right antenna setup to fit my needs and couldn’t find someone to help teach m how to tune it.These little guys helped eliminate all that guess work. Plus like I said, they connect to my already owned FRS/GMRS walkie talkies on the GMRS frequencies.

I have this unit installed in my car for general coms while out 4 wheeling, or just messing around with friends. I have used CB radios for years but I wanted to go to something a bit more reliable. I have to say I am blown away with the range and quality of this little radio. With the stock antenna, I can get about a mile and a half to two miles in heavily developed suburban areas, and a little less than a mile in the city (this was transmitting to a smaller midland handheld unit). In open areas, I have been able to reach town to town with it, still getting clear transmissions. I have recently upgraded the antenna to midlands 6db gain antenna, which I highly recommend. I have yet to find the limit of this antenna, getting almost 6 miles across heavily developed areas, again to small handheld units. I have yet to test it in the city but I assume it will boost it in a similar manner.In all this is a great little radio for a great price. I would love to see how midlands more powerful units preform, seeing how well this small unit does. A great purchase for anyone that needs simple, reliable communications over close to medium far distances.
