Review on πŸ“» BTECH Mobile GMRS-50X1 50W Dual Band Scanning Receiver, GMRS Repeater Capable Two-Way Radio (136-174.99MHz VHF, 400-520.99MHz UHF) by Keith Iverson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Poor design: radios

I bought this radio as a backup for another brand of wireless carrier and it stopped working on the second test. I used a car cigarette lighter to power it, which I've done at least twice before, and I turned on the mic when the car wasn't running and apparently encountered an under-voltage situation. The radio is dead. Apparently there is no protection against undervoltage, so roll it in the trash. I won't leave anything you can't count on.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Long delivery time
