Midland radios are not really common when compared to Motorola radios and therefore when you are looking for someone to program your radio you might want to do some research before you send them to someone that you don"t know. If you do not know the person to be a good seller, check the score they have. Second ask for a phone number where they can be reached. And third if you are told that the radios are damaged when they recieve them, Pay the return postage and check it out for yourself. I thought this might be useful for people that are new to e-bay and buying radios that will need to be programmed. You would be suprised to hear some of the excuses that people E-mail back when they recieve your radio to be programmed, (broken when I got them, Never got them, sorry. sent then to a friend to program) All a scam to get your money and your radio. Yes this happend to ME.
