Great, thanks. Now I bought one too! ?

Not sure how much I can actually add to this thread, but here's my set up. '21 JLUSS, Midland MXT115, EAG (Amazon) antenna mount, and Midland 3db Gain Ghost antenna (not pictured). Since I have a 6 speed manual, I couldn't use the grommet next to the master cylinder to run the cable - I folded down the windshield, ran the coax under the windshield frame, under the drivers side dash speaker, down under the dash to just under the steering wheel, and then to the radio mounted on the driver's side of the console. Pain in the butt to run. Tapped the cigarette lighter for power.

I don't use my radio all that much, but for my needs the MXT115 works well enough. Is it perfect? Yeah right, far from it. I picked up a brand new one, unopened for $40. Can't beat that w/ a stick (well, I guess you could if you had a stick...). I really only use it to keep in touch w/ my buddies and family when we're wheeling together. It works great for that. And I do like the size and mounting bracket. Wish others would make a similar bracket.

Thanks to you both! Appreciate the feedback.

Well, I guess I did it backwards! I got my license, bought a couple of handhelds, and then bought a Midland MXT115 for my Jeep. For my needs I didn't feel like I needed 40 or 50 watts, as I'll mostly use it when wheeling. Lots to learn here though!

Greetings all. Just got my GMRS license, purchased a Midland MXT115 for my Jeep and a couple of Retevis RB27 handhelds. My daughter and I used the handhelds the other day for the first time while we were out off-roading. I do have a lot to learn regarding the whole GMRS/ham radio thing though, so I'm hoping to learn a lot here.
