Great job explaining the functions of this radio. BTech should have a link to your review on their website. You did an outstanding job showing the uniqueness of this radio.

@WJ6FRadio Год назад

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. I greatly appreciate the kind words! I will be making more videos on this radio in the very new future.

@HarryHamsterChannel Год назад

Looks like that thing will "unique" you to death.

Really appreciate you demoing the messaging feature and GPS stuff. Most other reviewers only have one radio, so they don't show any of the cool stuff. I'd love to see a follow up video where the two radios are a ways away from each other and you can see the movement on the map.

@WJ6FRadio Год назад

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. I will look into making a video showing that!

Does the messaging feature only work with another Btech GMRS Pro radio?

Well, this portable definitely peaks my interest. Especially since you can program it with your phone. I'm old school... if I can't FPP it or use my phone, I won't have it ! Think I'll wait for the "newness" to wear off & the price come down, just like with the Baofeng ar152. Now, add digital and GPS to it, call it the DAR152. I used the PRC152 in the service, and I'm comfortable with it. I also live in "Hurricane Central" so the ultra large battery capacity is appreciated. Speaking of which, are spare batteries for this B Tech easily obtained ? Enjoyed your video

@WJ6FRadio Год назад

Thank you for watching and commenting! It is greatly appreciated! Yes, the BP-26 2600mAh Replacement Battery is easily purchased for $18.95 from the BTech website.

@panthercombo9647 5 месяцев назад

I just received mine, I noticed that on scan function it picks up the other radio on the wrong channel than what the other radio is actually transmitting on,

@mrrickcrushing Год назад

Greetings, great walkthrough. Do you have any idea if the BT function will pair with something other than a phone app, for example BT motorcycle helmet comms where you could perhaps push to talk with a buddy on another bike with this radio? I have used HHs with a wired PTT and wired mic in the helmet but BT would be outstanding, thanks!

@WJ6FRadio Год назад

Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! I am unsure about it working with a motorcycle helmet BT.

@zapsnyder 7 месяцев назад

@@WJ6FRadioof love to know the same, any chance you could try pairing with a set of bt headphones?

@olegig5166 Месяц назад

Can anyone tell me which frequencies can be programmed into the available group channels? Can I program frequencies outside the GMRS band to perhaps monitor local emergency services?

@phinmac Месяц назад

I have a friend that has this radio and it has horrible "squawk" or roger beep after each transmission. Do you or anyone else for that matter know how to turn that off. I have tried and looked for a solution but nothing has worked. Thanks.

@NotSureJoeBauers 8 месяцев назад

Can you text from phone to phone if the phones are paired to the radios? Also how does the gps location transmit feature work?

@chrisseidel8999 3 месяца назад

Yes. If they are both paired you can text from phone to phone with the app (not the native texting app). You can also text radio to radio but doing it that way takes forever. The FCC does limit how often you can text though.

@pinpox Месяц назад

Can anyone tell me if i can legally use this in Germany? There is no gmrs license I think here

@panthercombo9647 5 месяцев назад

Can you store waypoints like you can in a garmin rino?

@WJ6FRadio 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. At this time I don't believe you can add waypoints. Hopefully a future update will allow it.

@johnsusedik8363 Год назад

My base station is a TYT-9800Pro quad band and I have 2 units because the unit has a built in cross-band repeater and in repeater mode CANT use radio for communication

@beretta804 4 месяца назад

Somehow I erased all the pre-set GMRS channels when I was adding my local repeaters and I can't get them back without probably manually entering them all back in. Anyone know how to load a group of them back?

@WJ6FRadio 4 месяца назад

I think you can uninstall the app and the reinstall it. That might get all of the channels back. Also resetting the radio back to its original settings might solve the issue.

@Mirko..Meka906 Год назад

I just got this radio. I'm new to GMRS just got my licenses. I'm trying to talk to a reapeter station. I can hear them but they can't hear me. Any tips?

@WJ6FRadio Год назад

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. You will need to find out what the PL Tone is for that repeater and then program the radio accordingly.

@Mirko..Meka906 Год назад

@ToddBryantsr 9 месяцев назад

The radio works better on Android. On Android you have a PTT button on screen that routes through your bluetooth headset or car audio through the app and to the phone. The iPhone app lacks this functionality.

@WJ6FRadio 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. Thanks for the info! I had also noticed there is more functionality with Android vs Apple.

These are garbage for the price you can get a 20 watt mobile returning this junk gps does not work nor does the compass out of box ,I have several GMRS radios and this is the most expensive and can’t program on the fly with the internal menu so it shtf on a bad situation you will need a phone ,why not just use it

@WJ6FRadio Месяц назад

you mention that the BTech GMRS Pro cannot be programmed "on the fly." in the linked video I show how to program the radio from the front end. ru-vid.comYOsQUiwd-BU?si=xeYsQe02zpPjTWwy

@HarryHamsterChannel Год назад

This is like some sort of comedy radio. For $160 to get you on the hook for more non-standard accessories. Nice adapter! Worst idea ever. Buy eight UV5R's instead. They're just as complicated, and by comparison, disposable. Is that cheap screen even sunlight readable? Will yours ever be used outdoors? That's one of the important points you glanced over. Out of the box, with no software, is this albatross of any use at all? A tactical disaster. If you need a PHONE to use it, WTF do you even want the radio for? For the cost of two of those, you can buy a pretty good cell phone, too. Of course, considering the operators' desires to keep people OFF the GMRS frequencies, maybe it serves a purpose. I hope you got these free, because somebody sure got ripped off.

@WJ6FRadio Год назад

Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. Yes Mine have been used out doors in fact nearly every day. I don't have an issue with reading it in the sunlight. You don't need software to program these radios. It can all be done from the radio in short order. I show how to do that in a RU-vid Shorts video. Phone not needed for programing, but it does expand the use of the radio with the maps that are available. I am not sure which operators you are referring to that want to keep people off the GMRS frequencies.

@RESISTAGE Год назад

I have 2 of these. yes the are a Chinese typical cheap overpriced junk. but what's there on the market offering 1 usb-C charging port? 2 cellphone integrated app to use it with? and no u don't have to have a cellphone to use it, it makes it way easier to read and type text messages and program it cause of keyboard. 3 screen out in the sun is great, no comparison there. 4 live gps. 5 water submersible 1m - 30min or so. they are good junky radios. expansive? wait till u get to a HAM-FEST, see their prices there. hamfests are a real rip offs. cause you'll be paying $30 less off brand new cost for a 10yr old radio.

@BaileyBoyzoutdoors Год назад

Bob you are to old and obsolete to get it. 1st the texting is great, the mapping is good. It is not complicated in any way if you're under 70 years of age.

@HarryHamsterChannel Год назад

@@BaileyBoyzoutdoors No. I get it. People don't want to learn how to program eight channels into a Baofeng. Never obsolete. For the extra $130, can I do it for you?

@HarryHamsterChannel Год назад

@@RESISTAGE You're willing to pay that much for a USB connector? You must be very lucky. Try the UV-K5, as one example. 33 dollars. If you have the Goggle, you can find more. (I have mine on order.)
