Any updates on performance? I’m thinking of getting this unit myself.

Its a nifty little radio, but unless everyone else in your party also has one, most of that nifty'ness doesnt matter.
As for basic use and fars, it's pretty much the same as any other radio.
Have any of your friends adopted using a GMRS Pro since this post?

What level of abuse are hoping the unit to tolerate?

Thanks for the feedback. I saw your video on this topic and yeah, my experience is that it’s glued on tighter than all hell. I’d rather not break it and will just leave it be.
Do you think the water and dust proofing gets affected by breaking that glue seal? I don’t see how it can’t be affected.
cheers

GMRS noob here. Getting into the hobby and already own a few Tidradio units and a BTECH GMRS PRO. I saw the various YouTube videos and written reviews about this unit before I bought it and remain happy with my purchase. I know several sources say that the antenna is attached with a bit of glue and is removable using only some heat, torque and elbow grease but I haven’t found this to be the case. Does anyone else have any experience with recent units being more tightly secured? Mine have come with considerable amounts of adhesive and don’t seem to want to come off. I gave up trying after I realized that I was just spinning the internal part of the antenna mount and realized that the antenna itself was not actually traveling along the threads at all. Does anyone have a recent unit that has had the same experience?If I am totally missing something here on how to take the duck bill off, I apologize in advance.
Best all!
Do you use the NOAA Weather Radio feature(s) on GMRS?
