Thanks! Best quick intro on YouTube!!! No cursing, no guessing, fast paced and coherent. I will recommend this for family-friendly new radio buyers.

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.

I have used these snowmobiling and they work very well. Radio in backpack, speaker mic on shoulder strap. Bluetooth on and phone connected. When a rider gets stuck and i am unsure exactly where he is, this radio and app make finding him very quick and easy. Also, the audio quality is outstanding compaired to the other cheap chinese radios we have used.

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.

No map in the radio, yet, but - Finally, the competition for the Garmin Rino arrives. This is exciting.

Man, this is awesome. I've been waiting for an Android Auto/Carplay enabled app that lets us use the radio through it.

Good video Steve. Thanks. Another user just told me that you can use the "send" function in the radio and it sends group/channel info in delimited text that can be captured, edited, and sent to another radio for cloning.

There is a HAM radio version of this. IT's the VERO VR-N75 not to be confused with the VERO VR-N7500, just that its only UHF.

Gee, thanks. Now I need to fork out for TWO of these. My wife has gotten turned around on a trail before when she's headed down from a summit before I was done activating and I had to talk her back using the radio. This would make it too easy to keep tabs.

That GMRS radio has some great features!

[Stangmaster]

Beautiful box is the best part of GMRS.

[JJ-elli]

Seems like a nice radio, Steve. I got my part 95 callsign last year to compliment my part 97 callsign. Still searching for a good GMRS radio and will consider this one. 73.

This is interesting:

“Q: Is the antenna removable?
A: Certification requires the stock antenna to be an integral part of the radio. The GMRS-PRO antenna is permanently glued in place and tampering with the antenna will void the radio's warrantee”

very new to radios here. If your cell system goes down in your area, can you still use the app on your cell phone to send the text through your radio to those out of your area?

[janiceemery]

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.

[Bigflip]

I hope i dont bother anyone with my question, But I just purchased my first motorhome and I was trying to fit it with a radio, my question is what would be the best radio for it, CB, Ham or GMRS? I also don't really know about radios. Thank you.

[AntonioClaudioMichael]

Does this radio have Standred Computer programing or is it Bluetooth programming only?

[rickymcdaniel]

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?

[HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

I have the g90/818/ which sigla link type device do you recommend that will work on both ?

[wildflowerblessings]

I have a HAM license but zero real understanding of it all. Is GSMR a better option for someone who is only looking for an emergency radio/family communication and not the technical world and science of radio? I never pick up my HAM Baofeng because I’m too nervous to use it.
