New gear

Recently announced and recently shipping. We cover what's new with an honest read on who it's for and whether it replaces something worth replacing.

May 2026

Midland Radio MXT115P Pro 15-Watt GMRS Micromobile Radio
Shipping · May 8, 2026
Communication
“Midland's Pro line gets a 15-watt entry. The IP67 rating, intercom jack, and PA function pull the MXT115 in line with the higher-wattage MXT500 and MXT575 Pro models without the higher price tag.”

December 2025

Garmin inReach Mini 3 Plus
Shipping · Dec 2, 2025
Communication
“If the Messenger Plus is too big for your pocket and the Mini 2 too limited, this is the answer. Touchscreen plus photo and voice messaging in the Mini form factor, at the same $499.99 MSRP as the larger Messenger Plus.”
