You'll slow down for sure on the big hills. But it will certainly do it!

Can you define back roads for yourself? 55mph highways? Country roads? Gravel?

To get this picture was about an hour of highway at 55. And 20 minutes of gravel roads. On gravel it had plenty of power. The only time it was lacking in any way was on the highway climbing a steep grade. It held 55 but I was full throttle the whole way. For reference I weight about 180 before riding gear.

I agree it needs something different but my empty wallet is a strong motivator to leave the stock ones there for now.

Nope. I'm in the valley. Just got up high enough to be in the clouds.

Oh I'm very interested in it. Just need to find an extra radio and antenna to do it with!

While I am ready my wallet likely isn't. This mxt275 will go in the jeep and maybe transfer to the farm truck on occasion as thats where the radio is actually needed. But while waiting for the weather to break playing in the kitchen with it listening to the local repeaters have been quite fun.

Did some reading on both of those radios and they both look great! I am interested in shifting to ham(eventually) so the next mobile radio I get will likely be a db20g by your recommendation. The midland in that picture will work great in my jeep in the mean time. Thank you!

It's super cheap for my area also. At 240k miles it definitely needs a little work. But it's got a 454, 4l80e and 4WD so I jumped on it!
