It’s not the same kind of range we expect from Midland’s outdoor series of GMRS radios, but it is quite a bit more than the BR200’s have. Even though this radio doesn’t reach out 35+ miles, it does require an FCC license since it uses UHF frequencies. On a practical level, you’re looking at covering roughly 350,000 square feet of warehouse space or up to 30 stories in an office building. One of the biggest changes to the Midland BizTalk MB400 is that it has twice the power-4 watts. The BR200 has an additional charging slot for a spare battery. One thing we noticed that’s different is the MB400’s charger. You have the radio, antenna, battery pack, charger, lanyard, and belt clip. You need a small Phillips head screwdriver to install the belt clip and the rest is tool-free. But keep the BR200 in mind for business communications that don’t require a heavy-duty product.Įach kit comes with everything you need to get started. If you need the longer range and/or tougher build, go with the MB400 and don’t think twice. Overall, it’s a fantastic choice but does come at a higher cost than the BR200. The additional range is a welcome change and there are some meaningful secondary features added. It’s more jobsite-friendly with its IP67 rating and has a more robust build. Compared to the previous generation, I really like the upgrades in the Midland BizTalk MB400.
