i wanna say as a company Rocky Talkie is pretty awesome, their Customer service was outstanding and ended up sending us a brand new radio after giving us a call and trying to trouble shoot our issue we had one malfunction after being stored in a box with wet ski gear. 10/10 and would give them my money again. Also another channel did a tear down of either the radio or the handset attachment and found it to be very high quality and not just some generic Chinese electronics.

This was a great and thorough review. Thanks for going so in depth!

Great honest and funny video!!! A great call out to significant others going through receipts!!! You're now on my follow list, thanks for keeping it real and educational!!

I'm a hunter, I like it if it had a headphone jack or bluetooth so it doesn't go off when a deer is neerby.

I am a avid rock climber. I love the Mountain Radio Walkie Talkies. I saw they came out with a new model and I was wondering what the benefits are. Thanks for posting this video.

Very nice looking radio. I like the simplicity and like that it shows the power when you are on gmrs or frs. I have the appropriate license for gmrs and encourage everyone using or entertaining the use of these radios to go ahead and pay the ransom to use gmrs....$35 and you are legal for ten years as well as all family members. After licensing you will receive a call sign and you need to read up on the rules of when you should use it....signing on and signing off for instance. The price is pretty high but I would love to own two.

Just ordered a set, excited to put them through the paces

My man. Your channel is incredible and simplistic, you are about to blow up in a few months gaining thousands of subscribers. Straight to the point. A brief history and guide of use tutorial along with differences in products, while at the same time providing an advertisement service as a secondary business (we know its the main building model) You don’t act like you know more than you do, normal individual, not character driven, also testing all products and giving scenarios for your audience. This is what tv used to be like, I genuinely feel more educated about the products and the unique and creative shot selection is awesome with the cuts so the viewer isn’t just watching one long shot. Very impressive I am subscribing

this was great . thank you

And one of the things that I'm also talking about. Is the Zillow walkie-talkies that I've been sold on Amazon eBay and other places again? The ZE LLO walkie-talkies that I'm being sold all over the place. What happens if there's a disaster and you don't have a silk connection? Well combining that with AGM RS FRS or mers radio GMRS FRS or mirrors radio. You're basically insuring that people will have service no matter wherever they are. So if to sell signal is no more guess what you? Can? Still communicate? On. FRS or GMRS Omer's depending on which brand or which whatever you have. This is something that's absolutely missing since next tells demise direct talk. What a very important feature. Because it allowed people to go off grid completely. And use a regular old fashioned walkie-talkie. They're kind of walking talking like a children use. With frs or or or mirrors or whatever but FRS is actually more to the to what I'm talking about but again you can even have. Mirrors and you can even have GMRS so either way. Why can't you have FRS so either way? That's what these phones are missing mega mega mega time. Weather. It's a Zillow car wacky talkie or whether it's a actual handheld cell phone. That fits into your pocket. This is something that's really really missing on these devices. Anyway. I hope companies take this seriously because an in a situation where c*** hits the fan. The Zillow walkie-talkie aint gonna help you? Having an FRS or GMRS or mers radio in your cell phone like that or in your car walkie-talkie that has Zillow. In it. Now the words they're walking talking after screwing to your car and has like a handheld microphone a fist Mike and whatever having a mirrors FR. S or GMRS radio in that would actually not only in hands you're coming to. But it will. Be a necessity should you be in an offer of situation where there is no sell signal whether is nothing doing? Having that in your regular cell phone would actually be A? Tremendous gift to society.

i really just wish they would make the FRS Mountain Radio with the same IP67 waterproof rating of the 5Watt. I dont need 5w i just need it to work when i fly off my jetski.

Awesome review!!!

here's the thing I'm not seeing people talk about. on the intro video from Rocky Talkie it states that you can connect this radio to repeaters, but I don't see anybody trying it. they keep mentioning CT codes, but to get on a repeater you need CTCSS tones(which I presume is what the CT codes are) yet, I don't see it being mentioned outside of that intro video. the "privacy" channels mentioned look like any other FRS/GMRS big box store bought radio. is the ability to connect to a repeater just an overstatement?

Good info thank you

I rather get the baofeng gmrs radio they have out if I'm paying that much but I do like the Simplicity of having a pair of these to give out to family members

Curious to see these work on kayak trips

I live in NYC but a spot woth all hills, trees, cars and houses so been searching for a good GMRS that can get past 1 mile. Im thinking this is a good option. Also that was hilarious how you were channel hopping and found someome who needed more underwear 😅🤣 Nice review. I wonder are there any other good GMRS radios like this A. A little cheaper and B. Alao waterproof and C. Relatively easy to use? Thanks! Merry Christmas 🎄

My wife and I own 5 heavily wooded acres, all the walkies we have used are usually from big box stores and they ALWAYS break…. On top of that we paddle board, hike in the mountains, mountain bike, and other outdoor activities. I have a great feeling about this purchase, I figured if I keep going to the big box store, I will eventually spend what these cost….. Update! They came in and they have been great! I managed to reach a receiver 18 miles away with the longer whip antenna they give you!! Such perfection! I cannot wait to get back to the mountains!

hello. i know this would be out of topic from the video, but do you know a good and cheap FRS radio? i live in Raleigh, NC and i would use it for communications on convoy on highways. Or should i go to the next best thing, GMRS? if yes, i was eyeing on the baofeng UV-5R. hopeful for your advice. thanks

I wish you would have talked about how it gets charged. USB? drop in?

We just bought some property in a rural mountain area. The town does not have a cellphone tower. I was in the back shed (150 ft away from home) trying to call my wife inside the house. I did not have cellphone reception, frustrating. This property is on 3 acres with trees and boulders but not forest dense. I am in the market for a two-way reliable radio so when I'm on the property I can contact my wife in the house. Would the Rocky talkie be a good choice for my purpose? Does anyone know? Thanks MountainAngel

GMRS operators are permitted to transmit at up to ***50 watts*** transmitter power output, on the 16 main channels, but transmitting 1 to 5 watts is more common in practice.

Problem with the Rockie Talkie is that you can't really get them anywhere

Baofeng UV-9R ip67 waterproof around 25bucks

What Rocky talkie and walkey talking companies failed to realize is? Is that they need to make this type of thing with A? Walkie-talkie cell phone not a word GMRS or FRS or even um verse needs to be part of a wacky talking system. And in Kansas City golf grid and all hell breaks loose at least you have AGM RS FRS or mers radio built into your mobile. Cell phone walkie-talkie. Christian have a better radio in your walkie-talkie cell phone. So anyway cell phones that are walking talkies are missing this. Thanks we're FRS or GMRS or mirrors radio and actual walking talking. We can actually talk in case or help break loose and you've get off grid for some reason. Always built a have an old fashioned walkie-talkie in yourself on that was the whole thing of next hell direct talk they called it. And something like that needs to be recreated God bless. I hope it does get recreated.

Does it float? Does it have bluetooth or similar?

I did some research into this. This radio is not that impressive. The TYT MD-UV390 is IP67 (unlike this that’s only IP66), programmable UHF and VHF (this is only UHF capable), and capable of both analog and digital communications, depending on what you want. And, the TYT is roughly the same price as this unit.

That price is ridiculous! With its feature set it should be priced at $50 each! For that price, Why would i choose this over a BTech GMRS Pro? Rocky Talky 5W $165: -IP67 -Carabiner or gator clip included… -? Btech GMRS PRO $139: - full featured GMRS radio - Bluetooth - On-board digital compass - GPS enabled - IP67 - can send and receive Texts - offline maps and location history capability - type C USB charging - 2600 mAh battery

The price is a bit absurd. It looks suspiciously like a $25 zastone radio from wish.

requires a license from the FCC lol jfc. Uncle Sam always gets his cut.

idk for $165.. I need a headphone jack....

Rockie Talkie's radios were not their invention, as they are rebadged Zastone mini9's.

insane price, not worth it.
