Know before buying
Indoor AC supply, not battery backup. The MXT275 vehicle plug does not connect directly to these screw terminals: prepare a correctly fused DC lead per the radio and supply instructions, with correct polarity. The supply’s 3A input fuse is not the radio’s DC lead fuse.

For local check-ins; 15W rather than 50W, with a compact magnetic antenna instead of an elevated outdoor base antenna. Place the included antenna on a suitable metal ground plane; keep it upright and follow Midland’s separation instructions. The power supply has screw terminals, so the vehicle plug needs a correctly fused DC lead prepared per the makers’ instructions. No plug-in socket adapter or ground-plane surface is included. AC power required; battery backup is extra. Test actual coverage before relying on it. GMRS license and setup checklist →
