The company told me that if a product is out of stock, they remove it from their site. Not the best way to deal with that IMHO. It is back and available, so all is good again! UPDATE: Now I don't know what to think! This radio is no longer referenced in any way on Radioddity's web site ...... almost like it never existed! desertcart says it's gone and they don't know if or when it might be available again, so it seems that this review was a waste of my time because no one is ever going to see it! I did write directly to the company and am awaiting a reply as to what's going on. As my first attempt at getting a GMRF radio that was better than my old, ancient Cobra very basic 0.5W radios, I feel the GM-30 was a super choice! The only real problem I've had is in finding and understanding certain settings. I had most of it figured out using the Radioddity software, but ran into a glitch after the firmware update I was sent after I had an inquiry right after purchasing it. BTW, customer service has been very responsive so far, and pretty quick with their answers. Anyway, the glitch was NOT with the firmware install with their cable. It was with the lack of info on the changes it made! I was looking forward to being able to toggle the channel power setting, but even though I had set all channels of GMRF to "High" in the software, I found out while trying to use the GM-30 at a car rally (of sorts), that ALL my channels were set to "Low" power according to the screen readout! PLUS, I had forgotten the toggle key and since this was a "new" feature, there was NO mention of it in the manual! Only when I got back was I able to look in the firmware notes that the toggle was a quick press on the "Lock" key! When I had "SET" all channels to "High" in the software and then uploaded those settings back into the GM-30, it didn't stick at high power. I was therefore a bit disappointed that there I was, trying to communicate in the Great Smokie Mountains and stuck on "Low" power for lack of documentation! The toggle is now written on the front of the manual! I feel that setting the power in software should have stuck when those settings were uploaded back into the radio. Also, when you tune in another channel, you have to set the power level manually EACH time you change a channel! A real pain because the radio does not "remember" you last settings for any channel! Maybe that could be upgraded on the next firmware update?? I even looked to see if an "updated" manual was available so others would not miss that critical change but have not seen one so far! Very bottom line, EVEN in low power, the GM-30 performed fantastically to the point I wasn't aware I was in "Low" power at first. It was reported that voice was clear in transmitting and my reception was great, even with the included ear piece. My new GM-30 seemed to out perform and sound better that several other's Baofeng radios and they were surprised! Great job, Raddioddity! Please make the firmware changes in a maybe NEW manual version we can download and make those power levels "stick" in the software! Review: Solid radio at a fair price: GMRS repeaters, oh my! - This is my fourth Radioddity and my first GMRS/FRS from them. Having sold my two Midlans (which served me well on disaster deployments when I was a teenager), I was looking forward to receiving this walkie-talkie. There's a lot to like here. Build quality lives up to what I expect from Radioddity. Ergonomically the radio feels good in the hand, and the button and keys feel top-notch. Sound quality is excellent and the built-in FM radio is a favorite around the house with non-radio enthusiasts. Brief TX/RX testing showed capability for both clearly in a highly developed area with different elevation (roughly 70ft. difference) at a half-mile distance (using GMRS). That's pretty decent considering the conditions being just about as bad as plausible. The thing that really makes this radio stand out to me and distinguishes it from most if not all "bubble pack" GMRS/FRS combo radios at the big-box stores is the GMRS repeater capability. This is a clear sign that this is a radio made by people who make more than just consumer products: this is a mass-market friendly yet highly capable device. Other features that I really like are the USB-C charging capability (i.e., no custom charger, and USB-C means fewer cables and battery banks for emergency or outdoors use), removable antenna, and *potential* CHIRP programming capability down the road. The fact that Radioddity is actively working on firmware updates is a promising sign that they're enthused about this release. I'll likely buy a second. It's well worth the price when compared to what you could find at a big-box store in this category. ## Features - Professional GMRS Handheld Radio - 30 default channels include 22 CHs for communicating with other GMRS radios right out of the box and 8 for GMRS repeaters. 250 channels in total, supports PC and keypad menu programming so you can easily add new channels and change settings on the go - Dual-Band Scanning & Receiving- The GM-30 allows you to receive and scan on UHF & VHF channels in either CH/VFO mode, not just limited to GMRS channels.

And users can change the setting for each channel in the menu via keypad or with the programming software. For more assistance, feel free to contact our technical support via . **Q: Do this radio needs to be programed for grms** A: It's ready to go with all FRS/GMRS channels pre-programmed. If you want to change the privacy code for a given channel you can do it from the front panel menu OR from the programming software. I think you have to use the software if you want to rename channels. I think it is a good value. We had great results this week using a couple of these GM-30 handhelds for mountain bikers on the trail communicating with a shuttle vehicle The van used a Radioddity DB25-G mobile GMRS radio with a Midland 6DB gain antenna mounted on the roof. We were able to communicate throughout a long ride with challenging terrain. **Q: Does this radio require a license to operate?** A: Any radio that is a GMRS designated radio, designated as such by the FCC, requires a license to TRANSMIT. If you simply LISTEN, no, you do not need a license. You do not need a license to purchase a GMRS radio. See: Part 95E of the FCC Rules for further explanation. It does not matter if you use a GMRS to transmit on an FRS channel. The fact that the radio is a Part 95E compliant radio requires a license to transmit regardless of the channel you are transmitting on. **Q: Can the antenna be upgraded, youtuber backcountry amateur radio he said it can be changed by the allan key at base of antenna?** A: You do not need an allan wrench or key to remove the antenna. It simply unscrews by hand just as most ham radio antennas do on portables. It uses an SMA connection on the radio. Using an alternative antenna is simple, just use a pigtail with an SMA connection or use an SMA adapter that has the proper connection for the type of antenna you want to use Adapters can adapt from SMA to BNC or PL259 or SO239 or many other connections. Recommend using the pigtail style adapter to avoid excess strain on the radio SMA connection. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost perfect first REAL GMRF radio ...... *by D***M on May 12, 2021* UPDATE #2(6/8/21): This radio is back on Radioddity's site AND Amazon.

You have access to basic walkie talkie (simplex) channels 1-22 for talking radio to radio. For repeaters, there are 8 repeater channels 23-30 plus 24 "DIY" channels. Those channels are factory preset for repeater use with the 5mhz offset, all you need to do is pick a channel that matches the frequency of the repeater, and set the RX and TX tones. No adding and saving repeater channels. While that's good for the beginner, it limits the radio functionality. It's basically 4 banks of the 8 repeater frequencies, and the channel frequencies are hard set and can't be changed other than the PL tone. If you are in an area where multiple repeaters use one frequency, that may be an issue if say, all your .675 repeater channels are already used. The repeater and DIY channels are hard set with the +5mhz offset, so they can't be used for simplex talking. Channels above those are receive-only and can be programmed in VFO (scanner) mode. Ham, MURS, and several other bands of frequencies can be saved into receive-only channels. Get two for simple radio-to-radio talking (you can talk to people on the same channels as the very common consumer walkie talkies called FRS) or get one to learn the basics of GMRS and repeater setup. Learn how to navigate the menu as it seems most handheld GMRS radios are similar. Quick access to the NOAA weather bands, or program your local WX frequency into a receive channel for quicker access. Get the USB programming cable if you want to program names for your channels - if you have multiple repeater channels programmed in, you’ll definitely want the programming cable to name channels! I live around a few repeaters and seem to hit them with clarity. Battery life seems to be decent. Overall a good little radio for the very reasonable price tag. The FM receiver comes in handy. One other limitation - additional channels for talking can't be programmed. Say you want a channel set up specifically for simplex (non-repeater) group chat, using frequency 462.600 and tone 141.3 and have it be a seperate channel with a custom name - that can't be done on this radio where it can be done on others. You'd need to add the PL tone to a simplex channel. Not a major issue, just know that you can only transmit on 1-22 and whatever repeaters you have. Update - had mine for just shy of a year and it still works great. Only issue is there’s a slight hissing noise that seems to fade in after a few seconds when receiving traffic. Noticeable, but doesn’t really hurt functionality too much. Compared to other models, this is somewhat limited to how many repeaters can be programmed in but overall, a good choice for getting started in GMRS or an easy to use radio. Pro - most settings are factory preprogrammed. If you're new to GMRS and not up to speed on radio setup, programming and adding repeater channels with the offsets, this makes it easy because repeater channels are preset and all you need to do is scroll to the frequency and add the TX and RX tones. Radio is small but still has good range. The USB-C charging is convenient over having a charging base. Battery life is good, and the antenna can be changed out. Factory programming software and Chirp both work well. The FM radio mode has worked in picking up stations out in the boonies where I wouldn't expect it to. Cons -not too many. The lack of flexibility in custom programming. You can only have 4 channels programmed for each repeater frequency (462.550 to 725) and if you travel with the radio, you may need to edit channels to get other repeaters in. The display turns off in like two seconds and it gets to be frustrating. For what it is though, those cons aren't a dealbreaker. ## Frequently Bought Together - Radioddity GM-30 GMRS Radio Handheld 5W Long Range Two Way Radio for Adults, GMRS Repeater Capable, with NOAA Scanning & Receiving, Display SYNC, for Off Road Overlanding Family Use, 1 Pack - Authentic Genuine Nagoya UT-72G Super Loading Coil 19-Inch Magnetic Mount (Heavy Duty) GMRS (462MHz) Antenna PL-259, includes additional SMA Male & Female Adaptors for GMRS Handheld Radios --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/287268852-radioddity-gm-30-gmrs-handheld-radio-long-range-two-way](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/287268852-radioddity-gm-30-gmrs-handheld-radio-long-range-two-way) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-08-03*
