Midland Radio Introduces Ride the Range Heavy-Duty Antennas

Four new antennas provide a higher gain and enhanced sturdiness that is needed for overlanding and off-roading adventures.

Midland Radio, leader of two-way radio communication technology and innovation, introduced a series of four antennas in a new product line, Ride the Range. The new antennas have been optimized for GMRS two-way radio and feature a higher gain with powerful sturdiness, making them the perfect gear for overlanders and off-roaders to add to their setup.

Currently, there aren’t many offerings for GMRS bulbar antennas designed with reinforced materials to accommodate rough activities like off-roading or overlanding. The Bulbar antennas are stronger and sturdier than most alternatives in the market and given that they can be mounted on the front bulbar or any other substantial mounting surface, they are easy to install in almost any vehicle. These antennas are ideal accessories for those looking for more durable solutions to boost their radio range on devices like the MXT575 and MXT500 MicroMobile Two-Way Radios.

The new antenna offerings in Ride the Range include:

• The Grand Vista™ (MXAT01) – 7.5db Fiberglass Antenna
  • The 7.5dB NMO Style Mount Fiberglass Antenna allows customers to use CB Antenna mounts and replace their CB antennas with a GMRS Antenna as desired. This can be favorable for users who don’t want to go through a new installation. This antenna is available for $159.99.
• The Canyon Edge™ (MXAT03) – 3db Gain Bullbar Antenna
  • This 3dB gain antenna is waterproof and ready to mount on any bulbar antenna or ½ inch hole mount. This antenna is available for $179.99.
• The Highland™ (MXAT04 and MXAT05) – 3dB and 6.6dB Heavy-Duty Bulbar Antennas
  • The Highland™ (MXAT05) and The Highland™ Tall (MXAT04) bulbar antennas are interchangeable on the same robust spring base, making it easy for users to swap out antennas depending on preference or need. This can be appealing to those who may want a lower-profile antenna in more urban areas or a higher-profile antenna when venturing off the grid. Antenna options and prices include:
    • 3dB Heavy-Duty Bulbar Antenna with Spring Base—$229.99
    • 3dB Heavy-Duty Bulbar Antenna—$159.99

“We’re proud to have developed a strong relationship with our customers that has allowed us to identify the need for new overlanding and off-roading gear,” said Lisa Pruetting, Product Manager at Midland Radio. “To this day, no other company has offered antenna accessories that meet the dynamic needs of the American adventurer like Midland has.”
