IMO… I would always get a radio capable of being unlocked to ham and gmrs. In a real world emergency you do not need a license to use a ham frequency. So why not have one radio that could be used for all frequencies. I recently bought a Retevis RA 89 and really like it. It’s 9.5 watts so it gives you a little more power plus it is USB c charging. It is a ham radio but can easily be unlocked for all the other bands as well. It is also a very clean ( no spurious emissions) radio. I have both my GMRS and ham license WRQC674 & KO4PIH…. great video, keep up the good work
That's one reason for the inexpensive UV-5R's in my collection. Unlocked I can TX on any frequencies from 130MHz to 174MHZ and 400MHz to 520MHz. I do plan on picking up a couple usb-c batteries for them in the near future. The V2 is locked down by BTech to TX on GMRS only but it can receive on UHF and VHF which is fine.
Useful video. It would be more helpful if you provided a link to the specs on each radio. You could even use affiliate links to generate some commission revenue.
I'm not associated with any affiliates. Also, like I said in the video, it's just a brief overview. RU-vid is covered up with detailed videos about each model. A quick search will get you multiple videos that go into greater detail.
