Featured: Picked by Darin

Midland MXT295 15W GMRS mobile radio with Bluetooth mic

Talk between the truck, the chipper and the ground crew across a big tree job without yelling over the saws. 15 watts (5-watt low setting), IP67 sealed against dust and water, automatic noise canceling, 22 GMRS + 8 repeater channels and 154 privacy codes, PA and intercom, and NOAA weather alerts. The hideaway base unit tucks out of sight and runs off a DC vehicle adapter.

Using GMRS in the US needs an FCC license: no test, $35 for 10 years, and one license covers your immediate family. Anyone outside your family needs their own.
