Nice Slick GMRS Radio Install

B Miller · Jul 13, 2023

Hello Bronco6g,

Recently discovered some negatives in regards to a handheld GMRS. Thought I'd share a video showing one way to install a GMRS radio. I (almost) followed the same install as Trail Recon, with a better mic mount solution.

Hope this helps anyone out who may be thinking of a GMRS install

I just ordered the 275, so this gives me a good idea what to expect

That's the newer high powered one?

Unless Midland re-introduced a significantly changed model but stuck with the 275 name that's a model that's been out several years, at least, and is a 15W radio. Almost identical to the 575 in usage/features (less the 575's 50W, obviously) but more compact so a bit easier to mount.

Great info. Thank you for the reply sir!

No that's the 575, almost went with that but the bundle was sold out

Can you use the same mic from the 275 on the 575?

OP, If u don’t want that taking up space in your glovebox, @Mountains2Metal makes a mount that will move it up above the glovebox

I really like your products. Well done indeed!

Pretty sure there's a thread somewhere stating the handset/mic is the same on both. Maybe just what I remember from my own investigation/install of the 275.

Edit: Their site states two models that do both and one 275-only

Both - "MXMC01 ANC" and "MA75"

275 only - "MA275"

I'm a little slow, both models share the same mic?

I need to get around to mounting and wiring up my 275. Would love to see a vid on how you connected to the battery and a closer look at that routing path that you took.

I already have my compressor connected there by a pro and always fear battery connections.

AFAIK they are the same mic. The 2 models are as close as close can be in feature/function, just the larger chassis and "guts" to accommodate whatever is needed for the higher wattage.
