Midland's Intro's New Palm-Sized Powerhouse!


Perfect for pocket or purse, Midland's 16 channel Professional VHF Two-Way Portable Radio offers over 43,000 anytime minutes per month in four-inch package!

N. Kansas City, MO: Midland Radio Corporation has introduced a new VHF portable two-way radio for business and professional communications. Operating on conventional user-licensed VHF frequencies, the Midland 70-112B eliminates costly airtime fees for job-site communications, allowing users to talk 24/7 at no additional cost.

Compact and lightweight, the 70-112B packs 16 channel capability and 5 Watts of talking power into a 4" high by 2" wide by 2" deep (less antenna) durable polycarbonate housing. The whole radio including the standard 1350 mAH NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) rechargeable battery weighs 12 ounces.

The 70-112B boasts a range of features demanded by users in applications from construction and contracting to security and building maintenance. These include adjustable transmitter output power (5 Watt or 1 Watt) by channel. For instance, in its five-Watt mode, the 70-112B can communicate up to five miles (range is dependent upon terrain and other environmental conditions) with radios on the same FCC-licensed VHF frequency.

Likewise, each of the 16 channels can be field-programmed for either 12.5 or 25 kHz bandwidths. This allows users with licenses on multiple frequencies to use one radio to communicate with others of varying brands and bandwidths. Other key features include scan, priority scan and programmable squelch codes.

The 70-112B VHF portable two-way radio accepts a wide range of
productivity-building Midland-brand accessories including carrying cases, remote speaker microphone, ear-pieces and headsets. For longer duty cycles and battery charge life, an optional LilON (Lithium Ion) rechargeable 1800 mAH battery is available. In addition, the 70-112B will accept non-Midland brand accessories such as noise-suppressing headsets when the appropriate adapter plug is used.

Midland Radio Corporation has been a leader in two-way radio
communications for nearly a half century. Midland-brand land mobile radio products are sold and serviced by over 400 Midland Radio dealers across the country. For more information about all Midland-brand products, please visit www.midlandradio.com.
