Midland MXT575 review

Midland MXT575 50W MicroMobile GMRS Radio

By Tom Calder

Our verdict · Researched
4.4 / 5

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.
