In the real world that 3W, or the 13W will still get you heard, in particular if you make a good choice of antennas, and install them well. Glad you got this out, after our chat last night I was wondering if you would. Mobile GMRS is a great addition to outdoor activities.
HAY JEFF I dropped $ 700 dollars on three gmrs hand held's and a 45 watt base station from rugged radio co. that probley blowers your LMR400 out of the water.
Manufacturer provides software and claims there are channels Ian reserve. Are you able to save multiple repeater channels (same channel different tones for diff locations)
there are 22 channels for F R S eight channels are off repeater side and R P T channels 15 through 22 are the repeater side where does 30 come in not on my radio

I prefer a 1/4 wave antenna on a vehicle over 5/8 wave which is hit and miss. 1/4 wave is short. If I hear it//it is a solid signal and likely I can talk to it. UHF is not a good format for DXing.
With the lossy coax removed it was close enough to the suggested power output. In a real world application, people are likely to use small, lossy coax when they mount this radio (or any other mobile radio) in their vehicle. This should let them know the consequences of doing that.
I'm offended cause that GRMS stuff ain't no good for me downunder son!😂🐈🐈🐈🐈 I however do get triggered with forced political crap or 2A pushing swill in HAM video's. Also bullies in HAM radio including some of my local club members mean I don't associate with them anymore. I'm too old the deal with bully OM's putting new HAM's down just because they've been HAM'S for 50yrs.

Agreed, thanks for watching LC 👍
TheSmokinApe gets all the cool toys!
Lol, thanks Bob 👍
I like your short informative reviews! If I was a big GMRS user I would consider this unit. Meow, Meow...
Thanks Ron 👍
Man I can't image a GMRS user spending the money for LMR400, but that is what you need at GMRS Freq. Great video! 73
Hey Jeff, I tend to agree. Thanks for watching 👍
I put LMR400 on my personal repeater on the ranch. Just a hobbyist!

Good test thanks

Power Right Meow!
Right
I was looking for a simple mobile GMSR to put in the buggy this might fit the bill. Now to find a way to get it shipped up here.
Hey Jim, hope you are doing well 👍
IT IS G M R S NOT G M S R and my 45 watt radio would kick but in your buggy
all day every day. Minnesota said that W R X N 824.
nice little radio
It is pretty cool, thanks for watching 👍
Great short video!
How would you compare it to the midland mxt275?
Sorry man, I do not have the midland 👍
@@TheSmokinApe and you could not give me that radio free
Manufacturer provides software and claims there are channels Ian reserve. Are you able to save multiple repeater channels (same channel different tones for diff locations)
I am pretty sure you can with the software.
there are 22 channels for F R S eight channels are off repeater side
and R P T channels 15 through 22 are the repeater side where does 30 come in
not on my radio
Why not test the 467 MHZ repeater channel transmit power????
Hey Bryan, the max out on this radio is 20w 👍
