Midland Radio Corporation has been working out of Kansas City, Missouri since 1959, and it was the first US maker to put CB radios in ordinary cars. The lineup today is easy to read: MicroMobile GMRS mobiles topped by the 50 watt MXT575, X-TALKER handhelds like the T71VP3 with 36 channels and 121 privacy codes, ER series crank radios, and Public Alert certified NOAA receivers such as the WR120 and WR400. The firm is private, employs roughly 51 to 200 people and works with NOAA and state emergency managers.
Sensible pick for overlanders, ranch crews, hunting parties and households in the storm belt, since one brand covers the truck radio, the walkie talkies and the weather alarm on the nightstand. Two-way sets carry a three year limited warranty. Worth knowing: GMRS models need an FCC licence, 35 dollars for ten years, and the advertised 38 mile range happens ridge to ridge, not in town.
