Randy, your unique way of combining information with humor is outstanding. I am regularly reminded of an instructor I had in the Navy in the 70s. A signal was never ‘attenuated”…it was “resistorized.” A capacitor “capacitated” and an inductor “induced.” Keep on going! - Phil
The moment I saw the notification about this repeater from Midland yesterday, I thought "I know what Randy924's next video will be about". I was not disappointed.
I don't think you are going to see a 50w transmitter in anything close to that form factor. I wish it would because it might help improve some dicey contacts with my Retevis and these are really easy to deploy.
You're probably correct about that... it's a nice portable size which is really nice. I also like how it came be used as a mobile repeater in a vehicle. That being said, maybe Midland will come out with a easy to use all in one base repeater with 50watts out!
Let's see, with a hand held, a factory rubber duck on my tid gm5r , 2.6 watts out, ground level, 15 miles to a repeater, or line of sight to second ht, close to 3 miles in taffic, unobstructed or 100% clear 4 miles + ..nahh no need for 50 unless way FAR from repeater..
I'm in the process of setting up a GMRS repeater for our local 4wheeling group to use. Because, reasons. I local sad ham came at me with the usual "We already have several amateur repeaters in our area. I'm not sure what gmrs offers in that it requires an expensive license." nonsense. I responded with the usual logic, but was met with more disdain. So sad. I'm also a ham, (And a GMRSer, obviously) but not in the least bit sad, lol. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for inspiring me to become a pillar of the community. You're the best! Keep up the very important, informative work you're doing. It is very much appreciated.
Have had a retevis rt97 running on solar with batteries operating on our ranch here in coastal Texas for well over a year, works great 0 problems! Im sure this Midland will do just as well!
Man, you got me. After watching 10 or 12 of your videos I went searching the Internet for a Farsometer 2000. Upon further inspection on my 22" tv screen I detect some modification. Well played.
I believe it is a great solution for Camp Hosting in areas it makes sense. We struggle with cellular comms in the mountains of Colorado and although I do not think we could cover all of our territories with one repeater, even if it was a higher-powered (50-watt) commercial repeater at an elevated height. However, 2 or 3 of these deployed throughout the valley where we park our RV at a commercial RV park and where one or two of our supported campgrounds that has commercial power available (and a secured small building) could cover the majority of our territory in this district. I have petitioned the corporate manager to allow me to buy the first bundle so I can evaluate coverage and show them how it can solve their mandate for Camp Host emergency communications. The difficulty happens where we do not have power and where the repeater would have to be located outside of the campground boundaries. I believe this product would set a great demonstration of why we would make it work with a combination of solar and lithium battery storage. Cheers, Dave - WNTI-814
Was eagerly awaiting this when I saw it and you posted on a forum that you were not able to post a video until today. Too bad it's only 6.17 watts output since to reach one homestead blocked by hills and trees, we need 20 watts (thank the wife choosing the terrible location because she "wants a house and she wants it NOW!!!".) Guess we'll be sticking to the crossband repeater set up until Midland makes one that will output 20 watts after duplexer losses.
@@grigorirasputin5020 Tried. With the restrictions I'm put on, this pretty much is the only work around and 20 watts is the lowest that seems to work with a clear signal.
Thanks again for a straight to the point and information packed video. I am going to wait until they have a version that will deliver about 20ish watts after the duplexer, it should not be that difficult for them to do - we have the technology. It's disappointing to see this being so underpowered. Maybe I'll get one just to open it up and see what I can do to make improvements as far as power is concerned.
I've been deploying repeaters around my vicinity, and these lower powered units will fit a niche where the 50 watt units may be overkill. My refurbished GR 1225s are a little more expensive than these. Not quite as bulletproof either. Thanks for another quality review.
Love your channel. I bought a baofeng about a year ago and have used it to scan and I got my GMRS license a couple of weeks ago and I am waiting for my new gmrs rig to get here.
Some days I wish Companies would send me Useful items to Do videos on I always get the People that want me to test cheap 10 dollar lights or Junk on amazon like Shower curtains or Jackets.. good Video as always Randy @NotaRubicon Productions
This may well be the repeater I've been waiting for. Now I've got the hilltop home but no silo... as I don't think a silo is permitted within the city limits I believe a 30' power atop two-story house will make people smile from many fars away. (And me able to not be so jealous of Randy's using HTs in his basement!) IF the unit is in stock and shipping and the forecast 8" of snow melts off the roof in a week or two, I should be able to get this puppy installed. BUT... being in WI, that 8" or snow may be followed by another 40"+. Let's hope the weather gods of Xenu will smile upon my roof and thus my footing after stepping off the ladder. (I can reach a local repeater from the nearby hospital - don't ask how I know!)
Tom, because of the weather proof case, you can mount the repleater (My RT97s is similar) very close to the antenna and have no coax loss. Doing motorcycle meets I'll hoist a SlimJim into a tree with the router and just run a 12v line to it. I have 30' of 12v and a Renology battery pack. I'm also putting the router in my sidecar for group rides. Position myself in the middle of 2 dozen riders and repeat from the front to the back of the pack easily. Need to figure out the best antenna for that.
Freedom! love the T-Shirt and buzz words. You speak clearly and slowly for our less fortunate brothers and sisters who still haven't figured out what their rights and freedoms are. Great educational video.
I noticed the new Retevis repeater the day before i got the notification that Midland was going to drop this... i have wanted the retevis since you did the video on it. Think i might get this & the new MXT275 bundle...
Just found your channel the other day. Long term ham here, but need solutions for the non-ham team members for SHTF. They mostly can’t even figure out how to put a AA battery into a PVS-14 with a pictograph on the side. So, I realized that I need simple even if some features are missing. Too bad these aren’t in stock right now. Great channel.
looking into getting one. just want simple .From what you have showed it should work 24V .should draw less amps at 24V. I have LFP battery . should run several days. 200 Ah . thank you for showing this. I have many Midland radios and love them all. CB to weather radios to GMRS . all great for me . Even the 2meter/70Cm radio great . and any time I had to reach them I got a nice response and all questions answered. The weather alert radio from Midland works great and all ways goes with me . 😀
Thank You for the excellent review! I was one of the dummies who thought it was just a re-labeled version of the Retevis repeater. Glad I watched your vid! The aluminum case does make for a better unit. I also enjoyed the audio of it being used. It has a squelch tail! 🙂👍 Lot's of people bi - -h about squelch tails but to me, it makes it sound like a "real" radio from the 60's or 70's. Also, in noisy conditions, the squelch tail is helpful in letting you know the other guy stopped transmitting.
If people are worried about four hours, not being enough battery time, during a shit hit the fan situation Maybe they should do a little more listening and a little less talking that’s what it’s all about. During an emergency you shouldn’t speak unless you have to. some people do have electric generators and can keep Repeater, going forever, but it doesn’t mean people should be using your Repeater, All day long during a bad situation. Anyway, love your channel. Great personality.
I would have much preferred a 50 watt unit or even a 40 watt repeater❗️However, I fully understand the need for less power due to it’s battery limitations. I won’t be buying one, specifically because of the limited output power. This review is greatly appreciated👍
Okay, I watched the video this morning. It is a copy.(minor difference) My RT97 is metal, did come preprogrammed and squirts 6.6 migigiwiggies of RF electricities.
Keep it up funny man. Love these You Tube videos that you have produced. Thanks for sharing this Midland unit. I am in a forest setting with mountains all around me in southeastern Oklahoma.
I am familiar with your neck of the woods, beautiful part of our state! As soon as I saw this, I ordered the bundle package to use here in Ardmore. We'll see how it works, wish I could sneak mount it on 1 of the many towers up in the Arbuckles! Lolol
Seems to be very similar to the Retavis except retavis has a Hand mic for there's runs off I belive the Same hd15 Accessory Port.. didnt know the redavis was plastic Neet information Randy only retavis Rt97 i have seen are aluminum oh my bad you mention that in the description 7:39 @NotaRubicon Productions
Finally, MIDLAND has put another step forward with it's GMRS equipment line. Wonder when MIDLAND will produce Hand-Held transceivers that are repeater capable. As far as MIDLAND repeater looks like another manufacturers repeater , well that's just like Nissan and Ford back in the day. Both companies used Body frame, but sold under different models
I almost pulled the trigger on the Retevis unit and am glad I waited. Any chance we could get a repeated desert test like you did with the Retevis one? Please?
I like that, that the fact you do not Need a Ham Radio License to work on and fix any radios and repeaters. I'm a GMRS licensee and I enjoy GMRS fully and at times I use CB on lower Sideband. No need for Ham Radio at this point.
The manual labels the DB9 connector as “Microphone/Data COM Port” but doesn’t give any details on its pinout. It may be possible to use this to inject identification or perhaps maybe use and external repeater controller.
This MXR10 repeater looks exactly like my Retevis RT97S! I downloaded me MXR10 programming guide and software, and it appears to be identical to my RT97S! I would like to see both of them, opened up (after the warrantee period) and have you and your "experts" do a visual comparison of the two along with a good use of the 9 pin data port. Always good videos, thank. Karl
My 97S has a slightly different physical case. There isn't the big flat area that says "Midland", that area is ribbed. The "Retevis" name is rather small and at the bottom edge of the front/top surface.
Hi! Newbie GMRS user here.I love your videos. Very funny and informative 👍👍👍 I have a question - I'm trying to obtain more "fars" when I'm out camping, in the cabins, and road trips with my family and friends. Which would get me more "fars"? Midland MXT575 or MXR10?
Hello I am fairly new with all this g, m, R, s, so pardon the question. I have a group of 4 friends in South Florida all Within a 20 mile range urban area.. I am running into a lot of resistance. I to pay and use other peoples repeaters... They don't like newbies, they treat us Harshly..... if I purchase this repeater. Can I use it with my 4 friends? And they can bounce off my repeater without interfering with other people.. is my question.? FYI We all have our license. And i wouldbe using a 30 FT .Antenna. . thank you for your time. Love your videos. Leo
You mentioned the mountains a half mile of your house... If you made friends with the owner of the mountain top property, it's close enough a passive repeater could be effective.
Funny. I looked up Midland’s location 20 seconds before you said “Kansas City.” There is a city in Michigan called Midland, and I have thought that was where Midland was based for the past 50 years. I was today years old when I was set straight.

@heartborntreasures602 And Randy's vocabules are well modulational and communicationary. 😂
While I am a radio guy and get a ton out of your content, it doesn’t matter what you post about I would watch it, your style is second to none!
I couldn’t agree more! I just discovered this guy on Monday and have been watching or listening every day since
The moment I saw the notification about this repeater from Midland yesterday, I thought "I know what Randy924's next video will be about". I was not disappointed.
I like that the antenna can handle 100 watts... Now Midland should make a repeater that puts out 50 watts after the duplexer... Hopefully they will!
Yep I am wanting for someone to come out with more power. Pppllleeeaaassseee.
I don't think you are going to see a 50w transmitter in anything close to that form factor. I wish it would because it might help improve some dicey contacts with my Retevis and these are really easy to deploy.

Nice overview! Need to try this during the next SERE Challenge
Thanks for the shout out ("My favorite viewer") Great video as always. I'm glad they sent one to you at no cost.
Man, you got me. After watching 10 or 12 of your videos I went searching the Internet for a Farsometer 2000. Upon further inspection on my 22" tv screen I detect some modification. Well played.
That's a lot more hassle free for not much more money than the retevis. I like it.
Add a 'drive on' tower base for your temporary repeater tower, 20 + height poles and antenna for your outdoor events !
Thanks for telling the price first. Love your style
I knew as soon as I saw the release by Midland Randy would get a review up quickly ... for me his favorite viewer by the way.
Wonder how this midland Repeater Stands up against the Retavis mobile Repeater Randy 🤔 2:26 @NotaRubicon Productions

Any chance a higher gain antenna and/or better cable might offset the lower power and get you the range you desire?
Just a thought.

Long time cb'er, soon to be gmrs'er, so im learning. Are gmrs amplifiers a thing? Kind of like the banger boxes some cb guys run?
Good Vid Randy. Good to see Midland competing in the Repeater market.
What a time to be alive in the radio hobby!

hang your antenna in a tree 75' because 30ft aint nothing unless you're atop a peak.

Start with MyGMRS .com
Very nice. I like the upgrades compared to the competition
Okay, I watched the video this morning. It is a copy.(minor difference) My RT97 is metal, did come preprogrammed and squirts 6.6 migigiwiggies of RF electricities.

I like how everyone testing your repeater uses the roger beep.
I like the metal case! I'd love to know what kind of power that thing sucks up.
Trust is a strong word...
I want to see a tear down of these repeaters.
Excellent Presentation!
Another outstanding video.
Thank you for doing the video
great review Randy… thank you
You put this thing high up with a directional antenna pointing in the direction of your primary radio activity and you will get great coverage.
Thank you for the awesome video. Was just curious as to what antenna you are using with this repeater. Im considering picking this one up, thank you.
bought one with your referral so i can taste and chew on the leather strap.
is this still in production. i cannot find it listed. Thank you
Looks like it might be sold-out.
thank you
That is the best t shirt i have seen in a while.
inside you will find....2 uv5r's and a dose of the latest coronavirus. just kidding, this looks like another great product from Midland!!
He said my favorite viewer. That’s me!!!!! He’s talking about me!!!
Do we expect the data port to be compatible with linking hardware, Like the RT97S with the data port?
It is my understanding that the pin-outs are the same, so probably - but I dont know that for certain.
I almost pulled the trigger on the Retevis unit and am glad I waited. Any chance we could get a repeated desert test like you did with the Retevis one? Please?
Ideal for my farm. I’m N!
I like that, that the fact you do not Need a Ham Radio License to work on and fix any radios and repeaters.
I'm a GMRS licensee and I enjoy GMRS fully and at times I use CB on lower Sideband. No need for Ham Radio at this point.
The cool kids are at 26.805 MHz FM.
In unison we say “we trust his word” 😂
I like it. Huge up side is the metal case.
is the diplexer tuned to a certain freq? i wonder what the power output is throughout the range of channels.
Okay I'm getting the Midland repeater
Now we just need midland to make a gmrs radio that can have multiple tones repeater on same ch
That sounds ridiculously easy to implement software wise, they definitely should
The manual labels the DB9 connector as “Microphone/Data COM Port” but doesn’t give any details on its pinout. It may be possible to use this to inject identification or perhaps maybe use and external repeater controller.
Thank you!
I bought one today. I most likely will use it in the mobile capability.
Do you need a mic or can you attach a handheld. I'm wanting to use it mobile
Is it narrow band ? like most Midland GMRS radios
It is both wideband and narrowband capable.
Just like my RT97 that has the same range as my TKR850
This MXR10 repeater looks exactly like my Retevis RT97S! I downloaded me MXR10 programming guide and software, and it appears to be identical to my RT97S! I would like to see both of them, opened up (after the warrantee period) and have you and your "experts" do a visual comparison of the two along with a good use of the 9 pin data port. Always good videos, thank. Karl
My 97S has a slightly different physical case. There isn't the big flat area that says "Midland", that area is ribbed. The "Retevis" name is rather small and at the bottom edge of the front/top surface.
Karl, where did you find that software? Thanks...
The aluminium case is great for heat dissipation but I think it should be atleast 25w out after internal losses.🙁
Would anyone happen to know if there is an affiliate link below ?
Greetings from Reno, Nevada.
Me too!
I am still PO'd that he misspoke about the power cord. Alternators everywhere felt disparaged because of this. I stand with them.
built a 40 watt gmrs repeater for under 300 dollars (one radio included) its a pretty simple setup using some baofengs and an amp
Got me wanting to see the inside badly
My next repeater MX R10 Midland 👍
..and that mountain could hold this as a solar powered repeater to conquer it's physical position blocking all those FARS on the other side..
It would be great to get one of these on Mt Laguna
Hi! Newbie GMRS user here.I love your videos. Very funny and informative 👍👍👍 I have a question - I'm trying to obtain more "fars" when I'm out camping, in the cabins, and road trips with my family and friends. Which would get me more "fars"? Midland MXT575 or MXR10?
Well the MXT575 is a radio and the MXR10 is a repeater, so thats kinda like comparing apples to paring-knives.
"power supply" might be a good term for this cord, because is 24v capable and must be able to lower voltage to 12v.
