Quick look, the 5R EX has a few extra features, I would get the EX.
Regarding the Midland, now I remember trying to get this radio to work at Fall Crawl. Getting the Midland radio to talk to the CLCC Motorola radios, here is the channel plan. So a CLCC radio on simplex channel 1 or repeater channel 2 with a 100.0 Hertz CTCSS squelch code would be talking to a Midland radio on simplex channel 15 or repeater channel RP15 with a CTCSS 12 squelch code. All the rest of the channels would be DPL/DCS 612 for the Motorola CLCC radios and DCS 68 for the Midland radios.
CTCSS = Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System. PL (Private Line) is Motorola's trade name for CTCSS. DCS is Digital Coded Squelch. DPL (Digital Private Line) is Motorola's trade name for DCS.
From the Midland manual, here is the info regarding the repeater channels.
Here is the info for setting the squelch codes. Note: "Privacy" is misleading. While in coded squelch mode, received audio will only be passed to the speaker when the proper code is received. A radio in "carrier squlech" mode will hear any signal it receives. So if I am in carrier squelch mode, I will be able to hear what you are saying when you are in "privacy" mode. While at a Boy Scout camp we were listening to the senior scout leaders (teenagers) bash everyone, they thought they were in privacy mode. On the last day we mentioned to them some of the things we heard them talking about. The look on their faces was priceless.
Hope this helps.

Summits on the air this weekend for any of our Hams. 2m 70cm are lit up pretty good.

Is that in US dollars or yuan?
US$, but probably converted straight to yuan to pay debt!
Step 1: but a terrestrial broadcast TV station.
Step 2: profit from being in the "not broadcasting terrestrial TV" business.
What's that for? 6G???
I haven't worked in Telco since the late 90's... I only remember 800MHz and CDMA. LOL
