Overview
A large display with dual watch and a keypad tops this Radioddity handheld, letting you scan GMRS, VHF and UHF channels and monitor two at once. It transmits on GMRS with full power and charges over USB-C.
Off roaders and overlanders get repeater reach, NOAA alerts and flexible programming in one handheld. It is sold singly, and like any GMRS radio, real range depends on terrain and repeaters.
Who it's for
Convoy members and preppers who want to program channels and scan will use its features. Casual users wanting simple pairs should look at basic walkie talkies.
Pros and cons
- NOAA weather scan
- Dual watch display
- SOS alarm and flashlight
- Sold as a single radio
- Range depends on terrain
- Only splash resistant
Performance notes
Reach depends on the full power setting, antenna height and repeater access, with line of sight making the biggest difference. Battery life stretches with low power mode and power save. Scanning across bands lets you listen beyond GMRS while transmitting only where allowed.
