A 15 watt midland and a no ground plane NMO antenna on the mirror will easily outdistance any CB setup

That's what it's going to take: some of the bigger shops and truck stops to devote a little shelf space to gmrs

I have a 5/8 over 5/8 NGP 5Db gain antenna and a 15 watt Midland and the only place where my export CB works better is in the mountains where the UHF frequencies tend to get blocked by the hills.
The Midland MXT400 is 40watts which i'm sure will go a little further for $250
Or you could buy something like this 50 watt Baofeng
BTECH Baofeng GMRS-50X1 Repeater-Capable Radio GMRS 50W
- Regular price $199.99

Do you ge
Do you get traffic reports and other road info from other drivers with that GMRS? How about info at loading docks? Or what is it used for in the truck?Tb0n3 Thanks this. -
Midland is playing "catch up"Timin770 Thanks this. -
I still use channel 19 on the road just like everybody else and it's not going to get replaced any time soon by GMRS but when i only want to talk to one or two drivers heading the same direction, i use GMRS if they have it and every driver in my company has them.
You hear NOTHING until the people you WANT to hear key the mike instead of having to turn the squelch all they way up just to block all the good buddies and racket.Meteorgray Thanks this.
