Hello, I'm a GMRS ' Noob ' from NW Ohio. I've purchased a Midland MXT400VP3 bundle and plan on using it as a base. I'm currently looking for a 5 watt handheld to use as a mobile out in the field. ( Please see my related post on the handheld subject. ) I'm learning a lot here and I want to thank everyone for the information I've been reading. Greg WRJD307

I have already purchased the Midland MXT400 to use as a base and am looking for a 5 watt handheld to use as a mobile in my vehicle to communicate with it. I'm considering the Motorola #T460 5 Watt Handheld, but before I purchase it I have a few questions I would like some help with. 1) If anyone has this radio, how do you like it and how well does it perform as a handheld mobile in the field? 2) Do you notice a difference in performance as a 5 watt radio in comparison to other handhelds at 2.5 to 3 watts and is it worth the extra money? 2) How well will a Motorola handheld work with a Midland base? 3) Will it be able to use the CTCSS and DCS codes? Any other information you might think relevant will be greatly appreciated as well - Thanks !
