Midland Micro Mobile 15 Watt GMRS Radio with Magnetic Mount Antenna (MXT115) [A]

The Midland MXT115 is a 15-watt GMRS mobile radio that runs all 15 GMRS channels, 8 repeater channels, and 142 privacy codes. At 15 watts it reaches roughly 8 to 15 miles line-of-sight in open terrain, and tying into a local GMRS repeater stretches that further. A backlit LCD with 8 color options keeps the channel readable in any cab light. NOAA weather scan and alert are built in, so you get pushed severe-weather warnings without leaving your channel.

Install is plug-and-play with no drilling. The included magnetic-mount antenna sits on a steel roof, and the 6-meter cable feeds back to the head unit. Power comes off a 12V socket plug, so there's no hardwiring to a fuse box. The front USB-C port doubles as a charge point for a phone or headlamp off the rig's 12V.

GMRS requires an FCC license to transmit. It's a flat fee, no test, and one license covers your whole immediate family for 10 years. The MXT115 talks to any FRS or GMRS handheld on the matching channel, so it slots into a convoy where some folks run handhelds and others run mobiles.
