I do like that a lot of companies are starting to add USB-C ports to the battery itself for charging. Just a huge convenience all around. And I do like the added GPS functionality of that radio. I don't have that in any of my GMRS radios, which is becoming a bit of a collection since I got the license. Lol.

@scottsgamingtv7168 Год назад

With the USB-c on the battery itself, I've seen alot of complaints about it but I actually like it alot, say you have 1 or more batteries, you can charge it while using another, doesn't have to be on the radio to charge.

@scottlappi4162 8 месяцев назад

Great radio. Planning to buy another for my son. The compass calibration was frustrating at first, but easy after you get it right once. While in calibration mode an infinity symbol / number "8" will appear in the center of the compass. Hold HT at arms length, perpendicular to your arm, and trace a figure-8 pattern where the antenna traces the path and the radio body follows along. This takes me ~5 seconds every time.

Good Morning Steve boy, when you said that you played with the game operation, oh you brought back some memories for me. I bought the WOUXUN KV-UV9GX, I like it, a little hard to get used to and I don't like the fact that it doesn't have GPS which I would like to have in a radio. Can everything that you mentioned be done off the key pad? I only ask this because, if the SHTF your cell phone sevice will not be there hence the program feature. Just wondering. Not bad for the price. Thank you for sharing.

Not a bother at all. I'd start with looking around the areas you want to be and see if there are more GMRS or ham repeaters. Each repeater likely has a club attached to it. You can reach out to them for some local resources.

@temporarilyoffline 11 месяцев назад

Welcome @WildFlowerBlessings ! GMRS works because you only need once license for your whole family to share on as many radios as you buy - you won't need to convince anybody else to get a license. There are a world of friends out there on either service (HAM/GMRS). Since the GMRS license is just a one time family fee - get that license, get 2+ radios and talk to your family members. That will help you gain confidence over that baofeng too. What area are you in? There might be somebody in our group that would be happy to make a radio contact with you to get over that mic fright.

I ordered the radio and will have it on March 22, and having already obtained my GMRS license, I am joining my local GMRS group, which has a huge number of repeaters.

@bulldogbrower6732 6 месяцев назад

We need a letter writing campaign to petition the FCC to give GMRS an extra channel designated for data. Therefore dual band radios could send their digital location and text information without disturbing the rest of the world with their beeps and squeaks. This particular radio is using the APRS protocol for data. If they assigned a UHF APRS frequency we could send SMS text messages back home from our camping trip informing the family that we are safe.

@temporarilyoffline 6 месяцев назад

Standard UHF APRS and GMRS APRS frequencies would be fantastic!

@RKingis 2 месяца назад

At the very least we need iGates. Apparently, they were created to show people were using APRS.

@EverydayATV Год назад

I really wanted to like this radio but returned it after 2 days. The rotary volume knob seemed to have preset volume settings. The lowest setting was still too loud and if you tried to lower it, the volume was totally off. Same thing with raising the volume. I also could not get the compass to calibrate after countless tries. Ended up buying the BTech GMRS V2 for $69 and it is way better. Only thing I miss is the nice display that the Pro had.

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

It's always a compromise with radios. Even with all it's features, I still want more.

It could be a GPS "compass" where it uses your location. And like real GPS. it can take up to 15-20 minutes for location lock.

@bulldogbrower6732 6 месяцев назад

There is nothing wrong with the volume knob. It is not resister wound, it is electronic. You have to look at the white bar on the front screen to see where the volume is set. Takes a little getting used to but it works fine after you adjust it. Sorry you gave up so soon. It’s a wonderful radio.

To my understanding and tell me if I'm correct. If you don't know anyone that has this radio and you having the radio a lot of the function or not usable. Other than the Bluetooth programming it's basically any other gmrs radio.. is that correct? And will the compass work without the phone nearby will a lot of these features work without the phone nearby?

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

Yes you need a friend with a radio I ordered to make the most usage of it - are there GMRS repeaters in your area, you could listen and talk on those and meet other GMRS users. Yes, the compass is built into the radio and doesn't need the phone. Once programmed, you don't need the phone. It's a good mix of the two technologies.

@temporarilyoffline 10 месяцев назад

Hey Terry - good question. I'd first take a look around your area on repeaterbook.com (ham) or mygmrs.com/ (gmrs) and see what is active - is it GMRS or is it Ham? If its Ham, then see if its (DMR, D-Star, Fusion or just 2m FM) - once you get that squared away then I'd be looking to spend that medium money you're talking about - That's a lot to unpack, so another way would be to grab some friends and pick one based on what activities you do. GMRS is easier to get into, Ham has more features in the long run.

You can setup repeaters/simplex frequencies by need/group/area - there might be some overlap of repeaters as you travel, or you could support the (grand bike race) with Ch1 for Medic, Ch2 for Support, Ch3 for Management and support the (grand ski race) with Ch4 for Medic, Ch5 for Support, Ch6 for Management. Just depends on your needs. I haven't had a chance to find an unlock for this radio yet, but it wouldn't surprise me if it can be unlocked.

I sure would like to Amateur Radio HT like this, but please let it have DMR as well IDAS/NXDN. This way I would have one radio for GMRS and scanning analog services other than GMRS. With Amateur Radio, I could use for the Amateur Radio system and monitor other services, such as the railroads. Because Class railroads are switching over to IDAS/NXDN. Only a few Class 2s and Class 3s use DMR or P25. Me, I want to keep up with Amtrak and CSX when I'm riding on the Silver Star. Or railfanning in the area. 73 K3JCP and WQAI363

Honest question (no sarcasm) - GMRS has only 30 channels. What does six banks of 30 channels get you?

@temporarilyoffline 4 месяца назад

A lot of GMRS users travel or gather with friends... so one set for "Home" repeaters, One set for "there", another for "other there", another for "overlanding with friends", etc... just added flexibility. Even if you had multiple repeaters in your area and wanted to have all 30 channels, and then all local repeaters.
