Wouxun KG-1000G
The KG-1000G is the flagship of GMRS mobiles, running the full legal 50 watts with the deepest feature set in the category, which is why serious GMRS operators put it in trucks and on base-station power supplies. Unlike the mic-controlled Midland mobiles, it is a traditional radio with a real front panel, so it takes more dash space and more menu reading to operate. In exchange you get finer control over channels and settings than a microphone interface allows. If GMRS is a tool you use occasionally, the mic-controlled MXT575 is the simpler install. If it is a hobby you take seriously, the KG-1000G is the mobile to buy once.
