Midland MicroMobile 50 Watt GMRS Radio with Magnetic Mount Antenna (MXT500)

Midland MicroMobile 50-Watt GMRS Radio with Magnetic-Mount Antenna (MXT500)

Equip your vehicle with maximum-power GMRS communication using the Midland MXT500 MicroMobile Radio. Delivering the full 50 watts permitted for GMRS mobile radios, this heavy-duty system provides extended communication range, repeater capability, automatic noise cancellation, NOAA weather alerts, and an IP66 water-resistant design for dependable performance on trails, job sites, farms, and remote expeditions.

The MXT500 supports up to 128 channels, including 15 high-power GMRS channels, eight repeater channels, and pre-programmed privacy channels. Selectable high, medium, and low power settings allow you to manage output based on terrain and communication distance, while narrow- and wide-band operation helps reduce interference in congested environments.

Automatic Noise Cancelling helps suppress engine, wind, and environmental noise for clearer communication from inside your vehicle. The included magnetic-mount antenna simplifies installation without requiring a permanent exterior mount, making the MXT500 a complete communication solution for trucks, SUVs, Jeeps, RVs, and overland vehicles.
