Guest WSBX980 Posted March 17 Report Posted March 17 I was thinking about getting the Midland MXR10 repeater, but I was wanting to hear about user's experiences with it before I pull the trigger. Quote
OffRoaderX Posted March 17 Report Posted March 17 I had one and it worked fine.. but unless it has some feature that you need that the Retevis RT97 does not have, you should consider it also. gortex2, WRUU653, SteveShannon and 2 others 5 Quote
Socalgmrs Posted March 17 Report Posted March 17 I’d never spend $10 on any midland product. Yuck. gortex2 1 Quote
WRYZ926 Posted March 17 Report Posted March 17 The Midland MXTR10 and the Retevis RT97 will work just fine. Compare the specifications on both and also the prices and go with which one suits your needs at the best price. PS: Ignore Negative Nancy, he hardly ever has anything positive to say. gortex2 and SteveShannon 2 Quote

I read or heard somewhere that Retevis has a new version with more wattage coming out in April. Not sure if that's true, but if it is, I'd expect the price on the older ones to drop considerably.

WRUE951 Posted March 17 Report Posted March 17 the range on them not really that great. Not sure what your needs are but i would consider spending a tad more and go with a Wouxun setup or even build one with two radios. If you need complete portability i guess they're o.k. but again, you can shove two decent radios in an Ammo can and get way better performance. Just my two cents. Quote

You will also need a good duplexer for it to work correctly. The transmit radio will desense the receive radio if you don't. There is more to it than connecting two radios to each other.
