Midland G9 PRO transceiver

The Midland G9 PRO is a dual-band PMR446/LPD transceiver designed for outdoor activities, sports, and professional use. The Midland brand originated in 1959 in Kansas City, Missouri, USA, as the Midland Radio Corporation, which pioneered the CB radio market. Over the decades, it expanded globally, establishing a significant presence in Europe through the creation of CTE International in Italy during the 1970s.

In 1995, the brand's European operations and a significant portion of the global brand's leadership transitioned to Italy, with Midland Europe (CTE International S.r.l.) becoming the primary entity for the European market. Today, the brand is widely recognized for its robust communication devices. While the brand is managed by its headquarters in Reggio Emilia, Italy, and its U.S. division in Missouri, the actual manufacturing of consumer electronics like the G9 PRO typically takes place in China to leverage specialized electronics production facilities.
