The Midland G7's are an incredible bit of kit for the money, they are upgradeable to 3W power and have an extra 69 LPD channels (70cm band). On the PCB there are 3 wire loops, the top one is already snipped and if you snip the bottom one you get the power increase (3W high 1.5W low), snip the middle one for the extra channels. Naturally this would only be for use outside the UK but useful info .
