Read a bunch of threads on here about the Midland MXT 275. Everyone seems to be happy with it... good, basic starter comm. Was about to pull the trigger but came across the MXT 575, 50 watt. Supposedly still made for dummies (me) but with more power but a much higher price tag. I don't know sh%t about radios! Does tripple the power equate to tripple the range? Couldn't find many reviews for anyone that's actually used the MXT575. Midland has a bundle for the MX 275 for $250, MXT575 starts at $399. I'm a novice, looking for something to talk to buddies on the trail. Possibly call for help if needed. I already carry hand helds and most places I've been are hiking distance to cell service. Is the power jump worth the price jump?
