Midland Home Base

Trying to see if anybody is using the radio and what they think

Using the MXT-115 with the stock antenna personally. Absolutely love it, although I’m working on getting the antenna and its cookie sheet ground plane out of my office and onto the roof to improve reception (see other posts on other threads about the problems metal file cabinets cause with reception lol) and alleviate some noisy tech equipment problems too.

Its a touch slow for scanning in a base setup admittedly, but thats not my normal use case, so no complaints there really.

All that to say, no complaints for the radio, or the antenna, just the user error in the current setup.

 

That and the sticky back mic mounts are less than sticky out of the box…do yourself a favor, scrape the factory sticky off, and use a 3M command strip cut to size in its place…ask me how I know

I use midland in all my vehicles. My parents run a MXT115 as well on a Laird FG4603 (LMR400) and have no issues. The advantage of the 115 for them is the Power Supply is small and the radio is fairly small and out of the way for them. They pretty much sit on one channel but if they need to change channels they have the ability. I actually am waiting for xmas sales to grab another for them for the shed.

I had a MXT575 in my Jeep, both are gone now but damn I loved that Midland.. Easy and simple and they just worked..  Wife and I are thinking of getting another Jeep, if we do, first thing I will do is get another MXT575..

I run an MXT 575, works every time, built like a tank.
