Midland false advertised about the use of repeaters...
yes, they included 8 repeater channels that have 5mhz offset, but that's about it. Many PL codes that many repeaters use, this radio CANNOT INPUT. Also why I'm leaving a 1 star review, is because this radio ONLY WORKS ON NARROW BAND, which makes this radio unable to use with 95% of the repeaters out there. I live in a major city that has about 15 repeaters in my area, and i'm only able to use 1.....1 lousy repeater!!! If you don't plan on using repeaters, this is a good radio for simplex operation, but for 300$, if you only want simplex operation, you can find something for half the price thats just as good or better than the MTX400 by Midland. I'm very disappointed in Midland for putting this product out to the public as a repeater capable radio, because IT IS NOT and is VERY limited. If you guys at Midland have any sense, you should recall this radio and upgrade its firmware to do wide band as well as install more PLs. Until then, this should not be advertised as a repeater capable radio.
