Midland Radio
Midland MXT295 MicroMobile
The MXT295 is the pick for anyone who wants a clean, cordless GMRS install and is happy to keep the mic charged. Fifteen watts will not out-range the 50-watt MXT575, and it costs well more than the Midland MXT275, which has the same 15 W output and no Bluetooth. If you want a wired mic or the most range, look at the MXT275 or the MXT575 instead.
FCC Certified for GMRS
Part 95E is the FCC rule part that covers GMRS: a radio must hold a Part 95E grant to be legal to transmit on GMRS channels.

Overview
The MXT295 is for someone who wants a vehicle GMRS radio with no mic cord. The Bluetooth mic carries the LCD (adjustable color and backlight), speaker and controls and pairs with the base unit from the factory. The hideaway base installs with a DC vehicle adapter, and it can also route audio to Bluetooth headsets or a wireless PTT button. It runs 15 W high and 5 W low, with 50 GMRS channels (28 with preset privacy codes) plus 8 repeater channels per the manual. Midland and Amazon market it as 99 channels; we use the manual's 50 plus 8.
It is IP67 and has automatic noise cancellation (the manual warns it can chop up soft-spoken users in quiet places), plus PA, wired intercom and external speaker jacks, NOAA weather, and a USB-C port on the base unit for charging devices (the mic has its own charge jack). The FCC ID is MMAMXT295, granted June 2026 under Part 95E, plus Part 15C for the Bluetooth. The lab measured 14.54 W conducted, close to the 15 W label. Per the manual, FCC power limits hold some channels to 5 W, so the full 15 W is available on only part of the channel plan.
It only ships with the Bluetooth mic, and the mic has its own battery. It programs with Midland's own software, not CHIRP.
