Midland MXT575 review
Midland MXT575 50W MicroMobile GMRS Radio
By Tom Calder
Midland's 50-watt vehicle radio, the most power GMRS allows, with the controls built into the microphone so the radio itself hides away. Repeater-capable, with weather alerts and a magnet-mount antenna in the box. Needs a GMRS license.
