The Midland MXT105 MicroMobile is a 5-watt GMRS mobile radio built for the dash of your rig. It runs all 15 GMRS channels with 142 privacy codes, and the 5-watt output reaches well past what a handheld can do — vehicle to vehicle on the trail, or back to camp from a few ridges over. Power comes from the included 12V vehicle adapter, and the radio body is tiny at 4.01 in wide and 0.90 in tall, so it tucks under a dash or onto a bracket almost anywhere.
The kit ships with a detachable magnetic-mount antenna and 19 ft of coax, so install is no-drill: drop the antenna on any steel surface, run the cable inside, and you are on the air. A backlit LCD with a Display Flip mode keeps the screen readable even when you mount the radio upside down. Built-in NOAA Weather Scan locks onto the strongest weather channel and sounds an alert when severe weather is moving in.
GMRS requires an FCC license — no test, one license covers your whole household for 10 years. The MXT105 is simplex (direct radio-to-radio); it does not run repeater channels, so plan range around line of sight.
