Overview
The MXT115 is the entry point into Midland's MicroMobile line, and it is the one still reliably in stock on Amazon even though Midland's own site has moved on to the MXT115P PRO refresh. It puts out 15 watts, covers 8 repeater channels, and includes a NOAA weather scan with alerts. Operation is dead simple in Midland house style: pick a channel by number and go. A magnetic-mount external antenna is included, so it can go from box to bumper in minutes.
The overlanding community's read on the 15-watt Midland tier is that it is plenty for trail and simplex work once the antenna is mounted properly. The known trade-off is repeater flexibility: with only 8 channels and no split-tone support, it cannot match what a Wouxun or Radioddity mobile offers on repeater-heavy networks.

Key Features
- 2-WAY RADIO: The 15-Watt MicroMobile is a two-way radio device that operates on GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) frequencies. Its 15 high/low power channels provide increased range, Clearer communication over a longer range. Its channel scan allows you to search for active channels in the area. The MicroMobile is used for activities, such as camping, hiking, hunting, outdoors, and business. Its compact size and easy-to-use interface make it a convenient tool for communicating on the go.
- GMRS: The GMRS channels used by the 15-Watt MicroMobile walkie-talkie are licensed by the FCC for personal and business use. These channels have a range of up to several miles, depending on terrain, weather conditions, and obstacles in the way. While a 40-mile range may be possible under ideal conditions, it's important to consider terrain and other factors that can affect the range of the radio in use. For best communication, it's best to test the range of your radio where you plan to use it.
- PRIVACY CODES: The 142 CTCSS/DCS privacy codes of the MicroMobile walkie talkie allow you to select a specific code to use with a particular channel, which helps to prevent unwanted transmissions from being heard on the same channel. This provides a level of privacy and security for your communications, especially in crowded areas where multiple radios may be in use. Use silent operation to turn off all tone
- NOAA WEATHER SCAN + ALERT: NOAA Weather Scan will automatically scan through 10 available weather (WX) band channels and locks onto the strongest weather channel to alert you of severe weather updates.
