Overview
Repeater capable GMRS circuits inside a sealed, drop resistant housing do the talking, while a NOAA receiver pulls weather reports. Two large PTT buttons and a vibration alert make calls easy to send and notice.
Waterproofing, long battery life and weather channels suit convoys, boating and hurricane kits. Range depends on terrain and antennas, and the listing does not describe licensing.
Who it's for
Off road groups, campers and households preparing for hurricanes. Kids at a mall may find these heavier than they need.
Pros and cons
- Waterproof and dust sealed
- Long battery life
- Charging docks included
- Range varies with terrain
- Heavier than mini radios
- Licensing not covered in listing
Performance notes
Range depends on terrain, height and obstructions; repeaters extend it when available. The battery runs a full day of mixed use, and vibration helps in loud places.
