I purchased this radio as my first GMRS radio. The installation was easy. The radio is easy to program either by the nobs or the software. Great reception!

Everything hoped it would be!

I really like my MXT400 but always wanted the weather channels. The MXT500 solves this for me. I appreciate the usb C programming interface.

Start overlander communication & set up home base!

This is a great radio to start overlanding communications and set up a base station at home.

MXT500 review

this Unit mounts easy with the included bracket. the magnetic antenna mount works with the plate to mount on top of the fiberglass top of my jeep. The antenna is short enough yet seams to be more that adequate to reach out the signal. i have only used it for about 3 conversations and the most distance was about 6 miles some what in site of each other. but the voice was very clear. I am impressed and hope to use it in a longer distance conversation soon.

MXT500 rocks!

Unit is really well build and super easy to install.

M XT500

MXT500 MicroMobile Two-Way Radio (GMRS)

I now use this radio in my Jeep when offroading where I once used only handhelds. The transmit power is nice to talk to others. Unable to tell if handheld transmissions are more easily picked-up as we do not get that far apart. It is also nice to have it hardwired, and it is nice and compact. I bought mine and like it. Yes, you need a license. The FCC GMRS license is not too costly and makes for one license to cover eveyone in your family that lives at your license address. You do not need to st...

Best GMRS Radio I have Owned

I have been a radio hobbyist most of my life and owned many brands and models of radios, including several other Micro Mobile radios. The MXT500 is a fantastic unit that I would recommend to anyone. It has plenty of power, great audio quality and while very easy for new/novice operators to use, it has plenty of features to keep the advanced users very happy. I mounted this radio in an offroad vehicle for trail use. The weather resistance is fantastic, with snug weather-pack style connectors ...

It is a very good radio and easy to program. Easy to use. It is easy to use the scroll through the settings on radio.

Waterproof 50W in side by side

Purchased this radio and installed it inside my side by side. The only 50W GMRS radio out with IP66 rating. Very easy to install and use. Speaker is loud and clear, build quality is also top notch. Repeater and wide and capable. I also like that I can change the screen color to match my interior lighting.

Great sounding and powerful radio!

Picked up this radio a couple weeks ago, got it installed in my 2021 Rubicon 392, and I'm very satisfied with it's size, looks, and performance. Heave gauge wiring, and solid mount. I was all over the dunes with my Jeep group this weekend, and never lost communication even when we were spread out all over!

POWERHOUSE

This thing is an absolute beast. I've used this to communicate with others as far as 35miles so far and the communication was crispy clear. This of course was with another matching 50w radio and us elevated up on a mountainside to achieve proper line of sight. There's tons of features packed into this device even down to multiple display colors! Highly recommend this model if you're looking for a quality device from a quality brand.

MXT500

Fast shipping. Easy installation, user friendly interface, powerful radio, and strong signal in favorable conditions.

Great radio for just about everyone

Two features that are key for me are the split-tones for our local repeaters, the 50w power, and the IP66 rating. The radio sits high inside the cab of my Jeep and gets punished with dust and sometimes water. I have destroyed two radios in the past but this IP rating should keep the MXT500 working for years.
