I have bought 3 of them the first came from Amazon totally ptt locked to GMRS , secend and third have come from another sites all over rides the ptt and is working very well
Just received my GM 21, the display reads in frequency only, I noticed during your video display reads in GMRS channel number or Repeater number. I can’t figure out how to change, can you help?
Thank you so much for the video. I bought the radio based on your review. Thank you. Question, I lost my manual, can't find a download anywhere. It is not on Baofengs website either. Any suggestions?
This is from the FCC database where the approval documents are available. They include the manual. fcc.report/FCC-ID/2ajgmgm21/7098161.pdf The BF UV21 manual is about 95% identical, too.
Better is hard to define. The K5 is cheap, works OK, and is a great tool if you're into using open source firmware. Can't think of another radio doing that. The K5 is also a ham radio, not GMRS. The GM21 is solid budget class GMRS HT. It is one of several models that fall into that category.
I have on channel 16, a letter c inside a circle. What did I do to make that appear? I have no idea what it does or how to get rid of it. Any suggestions?
That means you have a CTCSS code set for that channel. Check the menus to make sure they read off for TX CTCSS and RX CTCSS. 4.2 in the manual. Enjoy your new radio.
