WRYS709

You’re welcome! There are even more benefits to this radio but I did not want to confuse the issue of its abilities vs Midland. Only on this radio is Radioddity a clone of Anytone.

"Just this once I will let you ask me about something you could easily research yourself" (with apologies to Michael Cortleone in The Godfather!): I don't think Midland radios are very good Midland MTX500 Programming Midland MTX275 Issue Midland MXT275 Mic Issue Midland MXT275 Transmit Issue Midland MXT575 Programming Software? Midland MXT575 Channel Stability Issues etc etc etc...

This request falls right into my personal experience: I purchased the Anytone AT-779UV ($99.95) and LGR Mag-Mount ($19.95) from Let's Get Ready Radios based here in Los Angeles, with fast free shipping in the USA: Out of the box easy use in GMRS, 18 watts, Repeater Channels, Microphone controls, cigarette lighter plug for easy installation and removal, NOAA channels pre-programmed. It is also known as the Radioddity DB20-G for more money from Amazon and others. These radios have been heavily supported here on myGMRS with only a few scattered criticisms. I purchased a 2nd one to use in my home! I have no affiliation with LGR other than that of a satisfied customer!

Let me review the specifications of the MXT275 and be back to you…

Exactly my point! Except that these "Midland" threads are about the "unreliability" of Midland radios for one reason or another! I will defend to YOUR last breath someone's right to buy Midlands that are overpriced, unremarkable and consistently criticized on myGMRS! I just won't recommend them when there are other alternatives just as easy to operate out of the box and not overpriced! I guess the deciding factor is that I do not earn any commission on my recommendations! "AmericanISH?!?" Don't quit your YT job!

Radioddity sells their radios like hotcakes and has good customer support. i suspect it is your setup. Do you have access to another Windows computer?

So you’re effectively saying: “if you desire to pay higher prices for limited features, these are the radios for you!” Maybe years ago… There are just too many cheaper, more efficient alternatives available to continue to follow this practice any more!

Negative experiences with Midland Radios seems to be a popular tooic on this Forum; and they are so expensive, too! They seem popular with the “Jeep Crowd” here!

I have the GM-30 but not the newer, different radio, the GM-30 Plus. Are you saying the Programming Software fror the GM-30 works on the new GM-30 PLUS?

Radioddity generally has good support. Which version Windows are you using? How did you install the USB drivers for this cable? Do you know for sure that Device Manager is showing you the COM for this device as opposed to other devices you may have previously installed? Windows device installation is a “dark art!”

I never read of such problems with their DB20-G.

You might want to delay help until they are licensed and become a registered member of this forum. According to the FCC WSCF455 was licensed in April, 2024; why a guest?

Original post corrected...

Yes, depending upon the configuration picked it can receive and transmit on GMRS/MURS, Ham 2 meters and 440 MHz, too. GMRS and MURS have FCC regulations which require specific FCC approval for radios used to transmit on these frequencies and this radio does not have this type approval for MURS.
