Where’d the attached picture go?

This is how I have it set up right now in my truck. I was considering the MXT275 for my Wrangler since there is leas room.

I got the Midland MXTTR71 bundle. I already upgraded the antenna to the midland MXTA11 6db mounted to a bolt on the fender since the magnetic antenna is pretty pointless on an aluminum cab truck. As to upgrading, i was thinking of getting the MXT115 as it looks to have a similar small footprint and obviates the need to program the GRMS channels. The MXT400 could be an option, but I would have to redesign my mount-setup. It would still keep it as a mostly off-the-shelf solution. These are intended to keep us in contact around our small town and when we camp/hike/bike, etc. plus I wouldn’t mind getting my feet wet in the radio community. To that point, was also thinking about this as a non-mobile (less mobile) option: https://www.portableuniversalpower.com/our-products/operator-115/

Thank you for the responses! Now that the radio is in the truck, I’m already thinking about upgrading. Any advice on gear?

Hello All. Got a midland bundle as a gift. Applied and received my callsign. New to the GMRS world and curious about terminology and etiquette. Used various comms in the USMC and marine VHF and don’t want to cross over into old bad habits. Questions: Callsign at beginning and every ten mins? Terminology: how copy? Mayday? Out? Nothing heard? Any particular “don’ts” to be aware of? Thanks
