## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be "fixed" to tx from 450 to 480mhz ?**
A: The one I received works on all of the gmrs and Murs. 80 watts vhf and 35 uhf. Of course I'd never transmit because that would be illegal.😁👍

**Q: Does the microphone have a round button on the back to insert in a microphone holder?**
A: Yes and it is supplied.

**Q: Can someone tell me if this is able to communicate with gmrs like in a life and death situation**
A: GMRS mobiles can have 50 watts max according to fcc rules. If the radio isn't locked to ham only the software should allow you to program it to GMRS but you must have a license. ($35)

**Q: Do i need a ham license to operate?**
A: Yes. You will need a license to transmit on this radio within the US. You will "not" need a license to just listen.  You will also need the awareness of how to program the frequencies into it. This radio operates on the ham 2 meter VHF and 70 centimeter UHF bands. I would suggest you take a couple days of study and get a license. It is well worth it, not too difficult and opens a whole new world of communication and information "No contract required". Ham operators do skywarn weather services and around here we do  Amateur Radio Emergency Services as well.  (ARES) My grand daughter (12) passed the test by watching you tube videos as did I. This particular radio can monitor 4 channels simultaneously which is a real nice option.  Buy the best antenna and cable you can afford. Many can be mounted in your attic instead of a tower. This radio is too over powered for use with GMRS.  Perfect for Ham operators with a technicians (basic) license. It has plenty of output wattage and I transmit to repeaters up to 50 miles away on a crappy antenna.  Mobile use but I use mine as a base on a 13.8V regulated power supply.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Always had a good experience with this radio
*by J***E on January 27, 2025*

I really don't understand the bad reviews. I have been running one in my truck since 2018 and it's now 2025. the thing is still going strong. My guess would be improper installation, bad swr or undervoltage the radio by trying to run a 50w rig on a cigarette lighter outlet.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Radio for under $100
*by J***Y on February 22, 2025*

I have three of these in my trucks, they seem to work really good I'm running them all on repeaters. And you can program them with chirp!

### ⭐ Great radio
*by B***D on May 1, 2025*

After using the radio in my shack for about two months I noticed that I wasn’t getting good signal reports from repeaters that I was full quieting on so hooked up my swr and power meter and wow the radio had gone from just over 50 watts on 2m to less than 5 and from 45 on 70cm to 2.5 swr we’re at 1.2 about the middle of the 2m band and 1.4 on the middle of the 70 cm side. So not sure what the deal is with this brand but this is the second unit I bought from this brand that stopped transmitting after about 2 months should have known better for the price of the radio. So I had to change my 5 star review to a 1 very frustrating. Great radio for the price absolutely worth the money. Works great easy to use and program. Solid build great reception. No background noise. Highly recommended.
