I just received these this past Friday gave one to my neighbor on Saturday was 9 miles away and was able to communicate with him and surprised with the clarity and range. Haven’t programmed them since I don’t have the cable yet
I use little radios like these when I'm out and about, with my cross band repeater in my vehicle. I only need to stay within range of my vehicle (which then uses my mobile radio to hit far off repeaters) and if I lose one in the woods or on a trail, I'm not out of pocket alot.
I got 4 of these for when me and others use these for flagging traffic on road for line work, had to get longer antenna still the range is shakey so even when we use 6 to 8 to relay to each other
Using the software let’s you set the “monitor” button under the PTT to low/high or scan, but when I press it doesn’t seem to do anything. Have you tried to reconfigure it for anything other then squelch?
@@RingwayManchester I am asking because in your video about the R2 you didn't test the power output but another guy with a different power meter only measured 1 W of power output for the R2 and you got 1.6 W for GA-2S so I don't know if the power output is the same but one of the power meters is not precise or there really is a difference in the power output.
hi mate, i bought GA-2S from radioditty, but i on the package i just found usb docking charger without any charger head, any specification charger head should i use? how many max Ampere should i use? can i use charger head from hand phone? samsung or iphone?

Great Radios. We use these in Tennessee when the power goes out.

Wow. Good price performance.
How long to charge battery for can you use plug as well what chanel for me and son 1.2 or any
Would u buy this radio or the Motorola xt420?
Forgive me, very very new at this and tech slow. How exactly do you charge these? Step by step, lol. Thank you.
Usb cable or the drop in charger
Scan wont work. I tried ch 16 and went to settings to activate scan mode, but still wont scan. Any ideas?
if i could plug it in to the wall to charge it up that would be great. factories, warehouses, security offices and vans dont have usb charging ports.
but you can just buy a plug that has a USB hole, and just plug it into the wall anywhere you are.
Last location I believe with a better antenna the Signal would be better
They look well made for the money.
Does this radio able to penetrate tall buildings without a base station ? And if not what do you recommend? Here in the states.

To charge, is the radio supposed to be turned on when docking it into the charging station??
no
What is the difference in terms of power output between GA-2S and R2?
If my memory serves me they're the same

do u know how to get this to scan, ive been trying no luck. Enabled it in chirp etc no luck
Turn to channel selector to channel 16 and it should scan.
Nice inexpensive radios .... low power, but you proved that they still performed well in your tests. Cheers, 73

Normal charger is fine. It will only draw the power it needs so it may actually charge faster with a higher ampere charger.

Questions: Is it a CB radio? Can it open and close repeaters?
