[New here! Just ordered two radios that will be here Saturday. Share your basic, beginner tips with me.]

...The main concern some have is that the Midland units are narrow band only, but this has been OK for personal use. Most GMRS repeaters appear to be wide bandwidth, One time I tried using the Midland "compander" and that helped the receiving station with my modulation, but then their modulation to me was more distorted...

I took a look at the configuration software from Midland for the MXT400 and it appears you can adjust the GMRS band from 12.5K to 25K Channel Spacing.
