I saw a few of these radios at a dealers store a few years back and they were excellent radios.I almost bought one but I was spending what money I did have getting my first GMRS repeater tuned and that has been a few years ago.I think if you can get it programmed you will have an excellent radio.I was just unsure about the certification and want to make sure it was Part 95...William

I found it on the FCC website.I am surprised they have a radio that is certified...William

How did you determine this radio was Part 95 certified?...William

Steve, as already mentioned by Jones, I would suggest taking a look at the BTECH GMRS-V1, which has repeater capability. https://baofengtech.com/gmrs-v1 The BTECH GMRS-V1 is FCC certified for Part 95A (GMRS) and is therefore legal to use. If you want to learn more about this radio, Miklor, as usual, has a FAQ on the GMRS-V1. http://www.miklor.com/BTGMRS/BTGMRS-FAQ.php The GMRS-V1 can be purchased through Amazon for $54.99 with free shipping, so four of them would run you $219.96, which is well within your $250.00 budget. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LWOLZ8L And if for some reason you happen to dislike the free CHIRP programming software, RT Systems offers its BTS-GMRSV1 Radio Programming Software. https://www.rtsystemsinc.com/Articles.asp?ID=619 The RT Systems BTS-GMRSV1 software requires use of an RT Systems USB-K4Y cable, which can be purchased together with the software for $49.00. https://www.rtsystemsinc.com/BTS-GMRSV1-Programming-Software-and-USB-Cable-p/bts-gmrsv1-usb.htm You could purchase four of the BTECH GMRS-V1 radios plus the RT Systems software and cable for an amount that's just slightly over your $250 budget and you would be repeater-ready for the future. If you acquire now radios that aren't repeater-capable and later wish to use them through a repeater, you would have to purchase new radios. Good luck! Frank.
