PRadio

I have them and they work very well. Yes, no reporter, but they have very good range. I also have the Tera Tr-505's to use for repeater access. I bought the Midlands before the Teras. I bought the Midlands after first trying the Motorola bubble pack radios with repeater capabilities. One was defective, too low of volume, and the Midlands had slightly better range and clarity. I am happy with them. In fact, I am getting ready to take a motorcycle trip to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons and we will most likely be taking the Midlands most likely since they are water resistant and the antenna is shorter than the ones I have currently on the Teras. We took the Midlands on a cruise earlier in the year. I was on deck 9 aft, lying in the Sun, and my wife was on deck 1 midship at reception. I was able to talk to her clearly. Locally in the Ozarks, I have gotten 3.2 miles line of site. Not bad for a bubble pack radio in the hills, trees and buildings. Yes, the Teras are better, but these are good radios for the money, and I really am not concerned about damaging them.

The Tera Tr-505 does MURS. They are also repeater capable on GMRS. https://powerwerx.com/tera-tr505-gmrs-recreational-handheld-radio

I love the difference between the posts here and the "other forum." This is much more pleasant. Yeah, I read the posts regarding being set up near the gas station and the non-existent risk of explosion. lol It looks like you provided a nice service and had a good time in the process. Nice to see.
