DescriptionThe Midland G9 Pro is a powerful and versatile PMR446 radio for paragliders, flight schools, and outdoor adventures. With its rugged design, large LCD display, and convenient dual-PTT function, it offers comfortable communication during paragliding, hike-and-fly, and other outdoor activities.
Thanks to its extended PMR446 frequency range, powerful speaker, and numerous additional features, the Midland G9 Pro is a reliable companion during takeoff preparations, while in flight, and at the landing site.
A unique feature of the Midland G9 Pro radio is the dual Push-to-Talk button (Dual PTT). This allows you to switch directly between high and low transmit power.
For short-range communications, the lower power setting is often sufficient. This saves energy and extends battery life. For more demanding radio connections, the higher transmission power—which is permitted under PMR446 specifications—is available.
The LCD display, which is larger than that of the previous model, improves readability and makes operation easier.
The Midland G9 Pro is IPX4-rated for splash resistance, making it suitable for variable weather conditions.
With VOX voice activation, Dual Watch, vibration alert, and channel scan, it offers numerous features for practical use. The integrated accessory port allows for the use of compatible headsets and external microphones.
The Midland G9 Pro PMR446 radio is suitable for pilots looking for a versatile radio for communicating with fellow pilots, flight instructors, or ground crew.
Especially when paragliding, ease of use, clear voice quality, and the ability to connect a compatible headset are key advantages.
Actual range depends on terrain, obstacles, and radio conditions.

FAQYes. The Midland G9 Pro is suitable for paragliders and flight schools looking for a rugged PMR446 radio with good voice clarity. Dual PTT, VOX, the powerful speaker, and the connection for compatible audio accessories are particularly practical for paragliding.
The Midland G9 Pro, in its approved PMR446 version, can generally be used without an individual radio license. This is subject to compliance with Swiss frequency and equipment regulations. Separate regulations apply to additional LPD frequencies, which must be verified before use.
The Midland G9 Pro is an upgraded version of the G9. Among other features, it offers a display that’s about 30% larger, improved audio quality, an expanded PMR446 frequency range, and the convenient dual-PTT function. This makes it particularly well-suited for demanding outdoor use.
The range of the Midland G9 Pro radio depends on terrain, obstacles, antenna position, and environmental conditions. With a clear line of sight, ranges of several kilometers are possible. In valleys, forests, or behind mountain ridges, the range can be significantly shorter.
The Midland G9 Pro has an IPX4 rating, meaning it is protected against splashing water. It is suitable for occasional rain but must not be submerged in water.
With the Dual PTT function, you can switch directly between high and low transmit power. For short transmission distances, the reduced power helps conserve battery life. If needed, you can use the higher permitted transmit power.
Yes. The Midland G9 Pro features a Midland 2-pin connector for compatible headsets, earbuds, and external microphones. For paragliding, we recommend a suitable helmet headset with an easily accessible talk button.
The Midland G9 Pro features a special emergency call function. This allows an emergency signal to be transmitted to compatible G9 Pro devices within radio range. This function does not replace an official emergency call to emergency services and does not guarantee that an alert will be received outside the reachable radio group.
Both models are high-performance PMR446 radios, but they differ in features and intended use. The Midland G9 Pro offers a convenient dual-PTT function, a large display, a vibration alert, and IPX4 splash protection. The Midland G18 PRO NC is designed more for professional use and features active noise cancellation, an exceptionally rugged housing with IP67 protection, and a lithium-ion battery with up to 22 hours of runtime.
While the G9 Pro is a versatile outdoor radio, the G18 PRO NC offers additional advantages in challenging weather conditions and high-noise environments.
Both radios are suitable for paragliders and flight schools. The Midland G9 Pro stands out for its ease of use, dual PTT button, and versatile communication features. It’s an attractive option for recreational pilots looking for a reliable PMR446 radio.
The Midland G18 PRO NC is particularly recommended for pilots, flight instructors, and flight schools who frequently communicate in windy and challenging conditions. Its noise-canceling technology can reduce distracting background noise during voice transmission. Additionally, the IP67 protection rating offers greater protection against water and dust.
Our recommendation: For occasional flights, the Midland G9 Pro is a good choice. Those who place particular importance on voice clarity in windy conditions, durability, and professional features should opt for the Midland G18 PRO NC.
