Is there any real difference between a Baofeng UV-5R and a regular GMRS radio? If so, how is a GMRS radio any different from a UV5R? In this video I answer these age-old questions and also talk about if it is legal or breaks FCC rules to transmit on GMRS channels using a UV-5R Baofeng radio.

This is a quick review of the Wouxun KG-1000M Mobile MURS radio - the worlds first MURS mobile radio. The Wouxun KG1000M MURS mobile radio is a new radio from Wouxun based on the KG-1000G design, so it has most of the features of the KG-1000G, but with MURS guts instead of GMRS. -Get the KG-1000M MURS Radio here: https://www.buytwowayradios.com/wouxun-kg-1000m.html?cmid=amsreGRvTmttM0k9&afid=MTc0SmRGN2tRQW89&ats=SVUyaFBqVmgvSkU9 -- Get a KG-805M here: https://www.buytwowayradios.com/wouxun-kg-805m.html?cmid=amsreGRvTmttM0k9&afid=MTc0SmRGN2tRQW89&ats=SVUyaFBqVmgvSkU9 --- You can find the programming cable for the KG-1000M right here: https://www.buytwowayradios.com/wouxun-pco-003.html?cmid=amsreGRvTmttM0k9&afid=MTc0SmRGN2tRQW89&ats=SVUyaFBqVmgvSkU9 ---- Get a Jackery 1000 Solar Generator here: https://amzn.to/2Wrem3v ----- Check out the Nagoya MURS/GMRS Antenna here: https://www.buytwowayradios.com/nagoya-ut-72g.html?cmid=amsreGRvTmttM0k9&afid=MTc0SmRGN2tRQW89&ats=SVUyaFBqVmgvSkU9 -------- Want to help support my channel? ►JOIN and become a member for as low as $1.99/mo (cancel any time) - Click here for more info: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZeBmj9_UNMoqDHSO7QtzXg/join ►Send BitCoin here -► 19RoqsoNDQaxooTdtHA2LDdeVW6yVwya2u Ask me anything! ► https://www.notarubicon.com/ask-randy/ --- Step-by-step guide to purchasing your GMRS license: https://www.notarubicon.com/how-to-get-a-gmrs-license-easy-guide-to-gmrs-licensing-on-the-fcc-website/ ---- How to listen to/talk on my repeater from anywhere in the world using the Zello App: https://www.notarubicon.com/zello-gmrs-repeater/ --- My equipment: Camera: https://amzn.to/3vP0zk0 Lens: https://amzn.to/34MuP2W Microphone: https://amzn.to/2SVIJNK Mic boom-arm: https://amzn.to/2S6OuYO NOTICE - The above links (and most other links on my channel) are affiliate links - if you use one of my affiliate links to make a purchase I may receive credit/payment/money/something of value in return.

CORRECTION: I reviewed the UHF version, not the VHF version as I mistakenly said in the video like the stupid human that I am. My apologies for failing you. Are you ready for the pending apocalypse, or even just a normal run of the mill SHTF event? One of the most important aspects of prepping and being prepared is ensuring communications with your family or group after anything from an earthquake or flood, to full-on zombie-riots. The Retevis RT29 is a 10W, waterproof, drop-proof, UHF/VHF (depending on which version you purchase) radio with a range of up to dozens of miles (depending on conditions and terrain) - The RT29 also has a "voice scrambler" which makes it difficult for anyone monitoring to understand what you are saying. I review the RT29 and show you how easy it is to use. The Retevis RT29 HT is a FCC Part 97 radio that requires a ham license or appropriate commercial radio license to transmit - except in the event of an emergency, so in this video I go over what the FCC says about when you can use the RT29 from Retevis or any ham-radio without a license. --Get yourself a Retevis RT29 UHF 10-Watt HT here: https://amzn.to/3jXNrpa ----You can get the programming cable here: https://amzn.to/2UKgG56 --------Visit the Retevis Amazon-Store here: https://www.amazon.com/retevis ►Watch some of my old off-roading videos here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLku2B9MS_IIRAa80infA7M-7mUmCNopW5 --Want to help support my channel? ►JOIN and become a member for as low as $1.99/mo (cancel any time) - Click here for more info: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZeBmj9_UNMoqDHSO7QtzXg/join ►Send BitCoin here -► 19RoqsoNDQaxooTdtHA2LDdeVW6yVwya2u Ask me anything! ► https://www.notarubicon.com/ask-randy/ --- Step-by-step guide to purchasing your GMRS license: https://www.notarubicon.com/how-to-get-a-gmrs-license-easy-guide-to-gmrs-licensing-on-the-fcc-website/ --- My equipment: Camera: https://amzn.to/3vP0zk0 Lens: https://amzn.to/34MuP2W Microphone: https://amzn.to/2SVIJNK Mic boom-arm: https://amzn.to/2S6OuYO NOTICE - The above links (and most other links on my channel) are affiliate links - if you use one of my affiliate links to make a purchase I may receive credit/payment/money/something of value in return.

I compare the Surecom SW33 Power & SWR meter to the Surecom SW-102 SWR and power meter. These two Surecom meters are inexpensive and very popular, cost almost the same, but work very differently.

Internet lore says that if you transmit on your HAM, CB, or GMRS radio with no antenna connected it will cause immediate and severe damage to the radio. In this video I tempt fate, remove the antenna from my GMRS HT, and transmit multiple times with no antenna connected. According to the HAM radio, GMRS and CB radio experts the radio will overheat and become permanently damaged. Lets see if the experts are right.. Details: I used an old, well-used BTech GMRS V1 radio, set to GMRS CH17, set at high (5W) power. I took off the antenna and transmitted for 1 second, 2 seconds, 10 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, then 6 minutes . --Want to help support my channel? ►JOIN and become a member for as low as $1.99/mo (cancel any time) - Click here for more info: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZeBmj9_UNMoqDHSO7QtzXg/join ►Send BitCoin here -► 19RoqsoNDQaxooTdtHA2LDdeVW6yVwya2u Ask me anything! ► https://www.notarubicon.com/ask-randy/ --- Step-by-step guide to purchasing your GMRS license: https://www.notarubicon.com/how-to-get-a-gmrs-license-easy-guide-to-gmrs-licensing-on-the-fcc-website/ --- My equipment: Camera: https://amzn.to/3vP0zk0 Lens: https://amzn.to/34MuP2W Microphone: https://amzn.to/2SVIJNK Mic boom-arm: https://amzn.to/2S6OuYO NOTICE - The above links (and most other links on my channel) are affiliate links - if you use one of my affiliate links to make a purchase I may receive credit/payment/money/something of value in return.

**CORRECTION: In the video I said this radio can receive all the way up to 854Mhz - this was taken from the Amazon specs the day the radio was released. This was apparently a error which they have since corrected - The MANUAL says it can only scan up to 480Mhz I review the new UV-9G GMRS handheld HT radio from Baofeng. I go over the features, usability, and issues (yah, it has some issues). I do a power-output test, range test AND, find out if the UV9G is really waterproof. and in case you were wondering, yes, this radio IS better than any UV-5R ! NOTE: Sharp-eyed viewers will notice that when the UV-9G went in the water, the flashlight was on, but at the end, it was off. This is because I cut the camera several times while the radio was in the water and had to pull it out/move/re-adjust it a few times - while doing all that I inadvertently turned-off the flashlight.
