  1. Radioddity has them open box for $139.99 Look here! If sale is still on…
  2. Is that your preference for sex as well?
  3. Do you overpay for your popcorn, too?
  4. Which model "Jeep" do you have?
  5. I gave up using an HT in my car years ago when I discovered and purchased the Anytone AT-779UV a/k/a Radioddity DB20-G. For about $180 - $199, the DB-25D is similar in form and function with the addition of DMR for Ham Radio 2 meters and 440 MHz. The VCG VR-N76 appears to be analog only, hence no DMR.
  6. I will have to research that model; give me a couple of others to compare to as well.
  7. So the author of "I don't think Midland radios are any good" agrees with me! I will take "YES" as an answer!
  8. WoW: @marcspaz: I told you, I agree with you 99% of the time and to be honest, you are probably the most "reliable" source of information on this Forum. I am not trying to convince you of anything! You were the one who jumped into my response to @wayoverthere and changed the conversation to 'reliability!" The problem is you took this comment of mine that was a reply to @wayoverthere's statement: "…they're still somewhat limited feature wise, especially for the price point....if they work for you as they are (and you're okay with the price), they aren't a bad choice." And you responded: With all due respect, I was not discussing reliability at that point; you raised that point! So I did the research to show that many users of Midland radios are over paying for confusion out of the box, by quoting those threads! Confusion is inherently unreliable!; especially if you are "paying extra for ease of use!" I have NO DOUBT that Midland radios are easy to FOR YOU to use out of the box, given your genius status! Newbies pay extra for these rather mundane radios and yet are still somewhat perplexed at how to get 100% operational usefulness from them, as shown by the threads I quoted. Don't get hung up on the concept of "reliability;" that was not MY point! If that is what they pay extra for, more power to them! @RIPPER238 asked me for an alternative that is less expensive, same or more features and reliable and I gave him his answer.
  9. MY opinion, based solely on what I read on this Forum, is that they are unremarkable radios and over-priced! I offer alternatives, based upon my experience. @RIPPER238 expessed his appreciation for my alternative suggestion. It is not enough for you to be able to express YOUR opinion? What is your and the Jeep Guy's problem? I agree with 99% of your posts on this Forum, but... Did you read the TITLE of this thread?!? Every time to reply to me, you renew "I don't think Midland radios are very good" in the "unread messages" thread!
  10. 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.
  11. "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...
  12. 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!
  13. Let me review the specifications of the MXT275 and be back to you…
  14. 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!
  15. 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?
