BEFORE YOU COMMENT-
1) Yes, we know you need to hold the radios in the same orientation (we tried multiple angles off camera).
2) Yes, we know this isn't apples to apples.
3) Yes, we know the Garmin model is older.
If you're trying to poke holes in the test, we've probably considered it. This was just a quick and dirty distance test with two different radios.
Rusty and Chris test the claims of Motorola and Garmin FRS / GMRS radios by communicating from mountain peak to mountain peak with them.
FRS / GMRS radios shine when cell service goes dark. Whichever brand or model you buy, test them. Make sure they are ready for when you will need them.

And I carry the phone anyway. keeping my hunting partners aware of my location was the most important feature for me. The Motorola app was not easy or quick to use and failed to work through 1/4 mile of flat wooded swamp. The Garmin started failing around 3 miles.

Thank you, thank you, thank you ! Finally someone tested the Garmin against another radio. We have been telling Garmin for years that the antenna set up is not making it. I wish they would put a standard SMA connector on top and move the GPS antenna. Users could choose which after market antenna works best. Cobra has applied to the FCC to make a radio that sends the GPS burst with a transmission. I hope they are successful. I hope you guys get to test them.

@thebugg333 Год назад

Im sure that 2 radios with different tones key up, you will hear the other radio or conversation because all the tone does is break the squelch to all it to hear the frequency...think of it as a stop and go light...everyone can see it but only those who are supposed to go at that time and tone can...but you can crash into someone else already going. The other issue when testing is that on the left side, you are by a bunch of trees and the other one was all clear of them....then you kept changing the HT's from vertical to horizontal reducing the effectiveness of the radio as if you guys are using cell phones. If I had mountains in my area without trees I would buy a pair to show the difference when you have trees, and rotate your radios when transmitting and receiving.

Yes. But if you don't have some training, you won't be able to use it, at least to radioamateurs (you have to pray that someone answers your calls). If you use ham radios on ham frequencies with your friends, you'll probably be jammed by someone not happy with that. Altough, if a ham notices that you are in trouble, he'll try to help you.

Hmmm. You can use ham radios w/o a license. Not legally, but if you use them while camping or other outings, the FCC isn't going to do squat. If you're going to use a repeater, that's different. Repeater owners require users to be licensed or you can't play with their ball. I was going to get licensed myself, but no one's on the repeater in my area. I leave my radio on for hours and though it covers a wide area, no one is online.

Generally if you're using the emergency clause in good faith you're not going to get in big trouble especially if the radio you have is pretty programed for appropriate HAM/GMRS stuff. Step on the military or other critical infustructure for anything short of life and death and you'll probably have a bad day. HAM tech is honestly easy to get if you're interested in preparedness coms, don't just assume you can't. Might even find a non emergency use format like texting you fam from the trail using aprs where your cell phone doesn't work to say yer running late but okay.

@rhyoliteaquacade Год назад

Consumer grade GMRS and FRS radios have an inherent weakness that is not apparent to the general public. The receivers, though very sensitive are not very well protected against signals well off channel. In an environment like where you were testing, there are other radio systems, most fairly high power in the UHF band, broadcasters in VHF and UHF bands. A Commercial radio like the police and fire services use, have additional filtering in the receiver, after the antenna, which block signals which are out of band. These undesired signals 'sap" the gain of the receiver and reduce the effective sensitivity. If tested in a lab, the radios will produce sensitivity and power output to suggest a 16 or 32 mile range, but in reality, it is a fraction. You might do this test again in a truly desolate location and have better results. However if you are line of sight with any radio or TV transmission towers, chances are the radios will again falter. I use surplus commercial public safety (police) radios which were designed for an urban environment (and cost many thousands of dollars new) and have had great results.

@rianboy9863 8 месяцев назад

The squelch on their radios is the worst. So much static you can't squelch it out.

In a emergency situation no would care about a license

@reallauradee 7 месяцев назад

I'm probably not the first to say this, but during a natural disaster, or God forbid in some type of surprise attack that can happen anywhere on this planet these days, do you think anyone with a Baofeng will care if they have a license or not?

From my understanding is you can use a Ham radio without a license without getting in trouble if its in an emergency.

@fiku4444 Год назад

to be honest who care about ham license when there is some emergency or disater

yea those Garman radios suck bad man, They are the biggest scam going as radios go. I myself would buy a trunk load of the BOfangs and still have money left over and run them at max power on an FRS ch and not look back.

How does Motorola get away with this crap lying to consumers about range. People should boycott all these radios till they start being honest with us.
