A good addition to family radios

I've been using these radios for about a month, they work as expected. It's nice to have headphones and a handheld microphone in addition to the main radio. Extended batteries are good for extra use, they are a bit heavy for our door.

Pros
  • Dope πŸ”₯
Cons
  • Not fashionable

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Lots of features and add-ons for little money.

Bought with a 20% discount coupon. Between the big batteries and the programming cable, it was almost like getting a radio for free. It's good to work for money. Familiar user interface and UV-5 menus. Corrected version of firmware received. For Chirp, it's Radioddity UV-5g.

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Great little portable radio

I bought these radios to take with me in my jeep. I've had them for about a month now. When I am alone. It's nice to know that I can still hit the repeater in an emergency if I don't have cell service. I can take both too, so if someone in the group doesn't have one, I can lock the keypad and hand them over and all they have to do is press a key to talk. So far I am very happy with my purchase.

Pros
  • Wow
Cons
  • ---

I bought this item from Tidradio because it had a large 3200 battery and also included a programming cable which I found does not work with this radio. Tidradio also makes a Bluetooth programmer that should work, but the company didn't think to include this radio in the larger group of radios that would work with a Bluetooth programmer. I tried for hours to get the programmer to work but I couldn't. When I contacted Tidradio they were of little help other than "trying" the Baofeng setup. I will

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Great radio at a great price!

I am just starting out with GMRS radios and already have a number of Tidradio products that I am very happy with. These GM-5R radios are surprisingly well built and the larger battery is a big bonus for longer run time. Things like the included belt clips and backlit keyboard are very nice at this price point (a programming cable and onboard chargers are also included!). I'm still learning how to use repeaters, program radios for my frequency loads and whatnot, but I'd highly recommend them to…

  • Confident

Radios locked on unusable frequencies

Radios programmed to locked GMRS frequencies that cannot be used, every time you try to reprogram them to another frequency that I'm on use another radio and try to transmit them. Work. I strongly advise against buying from this buyer. Nowhere in their description did it say I would never buy from this buyer in this case and they would not give refunds.

Pros
  • Portable audio and video
Cons
  • Legacy model

Just give this radio 3 stars

These radios are very good but I gave them 3 stars because they stay on frequency when you program the repeater you want to use er tends to turn the repeater back off and doesn't transmit but doesn't accept or receive this transmission, it took a long time to get this working so I give 3 stars except the radio is very good, the radio works well , I hope who something will help

Pros
  • Two way radios
Cons
  • Not as thick as other radios

Radio on steroids!

These radios are great! Why pay $40 for a pair of boring radios when you can pay a little more for superior quality and features? They come with very useful features! Here are some of them: a flashing LED lamp for when you need to draw attention in a noisy environment, or just the lock to insert a key, or whatever else you need. Has an alarm/panic button that alerts others with a beep (one of my favorite features), an A/B switch for quickly changing channels/frequencies (also a favorite) when…

Pros
  • CB and Two Way Radios
Cons
  • Saver Price
