Are you sure you got the "G" version? I have two of them and no problems with them. I do not believe they are adjustable.
-
I get it Marc, that makes sense. But, it would seem to me that it would be wiser to call it a 45 watt radio (like Rugged Radios does) and if you go over a few watts no harm done. Anyhow, I am back and forth on this one (50v2). It fits the budget, but I would really like to know the Low and Mid power level performance. Otherwise I may just have go Wouxun KG-XS-20G plus and forget the higher watts.

Miklor did a review and their test was 48.2 watts: Review BTech GMRS-50V2 Mobile - Miklor It seems like Miklor tests are generally higher than others.
-
I just viewed Randy's review and all I can say is: "40 watts"??? It's a redesigned product and you couldn't give us 45 watts? I do wish Randy would have tested the Low and Medium power levels.... but at this point I think it is a pass for me.
-
Hmmmm, I am not too sure that it looks like a "full redesigned radio board". ? I will still wait for the review.... but it's not looking too good to me at this point.
-
If he has a 50x1 it would be great to pop them both open to see if the "radio board" has been modified in the 50v2 like their website states it has: "[UPGRADED] The GMRS-50V2 is major upgrade from the previous generation GMRS-50X1. New features include a full redesigned radio board."
-
I guess I will wait to order (or not) until the review.......
-
I will probably order one tonight...
-
Do you actually have them in stock? BTECH does not have them on their website.... that I can find anyway.
-
Thank you for the info and link. I think I will try to wait for the Wouxun.
-
Any other issues with the Btech 50x1? I greatly desire the Wouxun KG-1000G+ but the Btech 50x1 (or 50v2) fits the imposed budget.... ?
-
Smart indeed. ?

I wonder if that is why Surecom provides a metal plate to put on top of the meter (between the meter and the antenna)? You don't see the metal plate in the pictures. You sure can see a distinct difference between the two antennas on the meter. Also, I have seen where others have stated you cannot get an accurate power reading on an antenna, but must use a dummy load to test the radio for power out.
-
Are you hearing anyone on your channels? If yes, have you tried communicating with them? Could be they are setup with CTCSS/DCS codes so they don't hear you... The UV-9G is a good little radio. I have a GMRS-9R which is it's twin sister.
-
I just replaced my standard rubber duck on my Baofeng GMRS-9R (same radio as the UV9G) with the Nagoya NA-771G. I have not yet tested it in the real world, but the SWRs are great compared to the rubber duck that came with it.
-
I was just previewing some info for one repeater listed on this site and they did request that you turn off roger beep to use the repeater. This I did not know as well...
-
This is what I set it to. It seems to work better than the standard settings. I may tweek them more later on.
-
I emailed BTECH a few weeks ago and asked if they would be updating the GMRS-50X1 to include adding more channels for GMRS and they said they would be releasing the new update (new radio I presume, ie. 2nd GEN) in the 1st quarter 2023.

I have not done it yet. It will either tomorrow or next week. I did download and install Chirp, but no time today. I will post back my settings after I get it done.
-
Will do.... Thank you!!!
-
You rock, thank you! I was just using the CPS to configure my HT, but now I will have to install CHIRP.
-
It looks like this was done in 2016. Has CHIRP been updated to include other models?
-
WRUU653: Care to share your settings for the UV-9G? I have a GMRS-9R which is basically the same. The squelch is horrible. Thank you!!!
