The Midland GXT5000 is an equivalent replacement for the Icom IC-F21GM-02 Two Way Radio.

The Icom IC-F21GM-02 FRS/GMRS radio is a heavy design. It has a selectable 2 or 4 watts of power with 7 FRS/GMRS and 8 GMRS only frequencies. The IC-F21GM is designed to be a durable multi-purpose radio for both consumer and business use. Built to last, it is also surprisingly light and compact.

We like the fact that the Icom IC-F21GM is designed to be used either as a personal GMRS radio or as a business radio. You can take it with you camping on the weekend, and then use it on Monday at work. Often you find that you have to compromise key features to find a radio that is great for both, but not with the IC-F21GM.

If you have been looking for a rugged UHF radio with a removable antenna, or a business radio with the convenience of a consumer radio, the IC-F21GM is the answer.

With 52 CTCSS and 83 DCTCSS privacy codes you can be sure you will have interference free operation. The IC-F21BR even has a CTCSS Find feature. The radio will scan for the CTCSS tone being used by other radios. You will be able to quickly determine the privacy code being used, so you can set your radio to work with them. This means no more matching codes out of the back pages of the user manual so you can communicate with another radio that has already been setup!

The IC-F21GM is also repeater capable. In addition, the radio is designed to be easy to setup and operate and does not need special programming before it can be used.

The IC-F21GM uses Ni-MH, Ni-MC rechargeable, or AA alkaline batteries (with optional AA adapter tray). The Icom IC-F21GM comes with a Ni-Cd battery pack, a Direct Trickle Charger, removable antenna, and belt clip.
