I am considering a Midland MXT400 since they can be programed for wideband even in simplex mode, my only feature of concern. How do they sound being chip/SOC based? I have no GMRS equipment yet. The lack of many advanced features isn't really bothering me as this will be only a home base or mobile radio for communication with known family/local friends in a 20 mile radius. My main wonder is how the sound quality of these Midlands rate--the few that can do wideband (MXT400 programed and MXT575).
Is a Wouxon KG-XS20G a better sounding radio? I know it's lower power (and cheaper) but it should also suit me I would think given what I've read. I hear Midland is recommended by some but others say don't bother? Sound quality again is a big concern 2nd only to reliability. Is a KG-1000 just that much better than either in its super-het format? Many Thanks.
