Overview
Carrying a radio through rain, river crossings and dusty trails is what this BAOFENG radio is built for, with a sealed body that survives a short dunk. It ships with GMRS channels set, adds repeater slots and watches NOAA weather.
Ready-to-use GMRS channels and a waterproof shell make it easy for a group to grab and go. Custom repeater programming takes the cable and software, and the software has to be requested.
Who it's for
Families, overlanders and paddlers who need sealed radios with weather alerts. Ham operators wanting amateur band transmit need a different radio.
Pros and cons
- Ready out of the box
- Repeater channel groups
- NOAA weather scanning
- Programming cable included
- Software must be requested
- GMRS transmit only
- Range drops with obstacles
Performance notes
The sealed case blocks water and dust, so drops into creeks or snow are survivable. Range climbs when a GMRS repeater relays the signal, since the handheld alone is limited by terrain.
