Greetings, debating which budget radio would provide better reception and setup for a jeep. The BTECH GMRS-20v2 which can be programmed via CHIRP on IOS or the Radioddity DB20-G which not capable from what I view non CHIRP compatible. Unless a handheld can be attached via an outside antenna to facilitate reception, any suggestions are welcomed.
Running onto same issue on a Baofeng UV82 despite the video posted on YouTube radio, will not unlock? Anyone have any other tricks to accomplish unlocking radio.
Programmed a UV82 Baofeng radio with GMRS-FRS-MURS, local repeaters and HAM frequencies. Only monitor HAM frequencies when scanning, does the UV82 have capability in transmit & receive GMRS channels or solely HAM, Hear lots of chatter on local repeaters although not much if any for GMRS understanding dual frequency capability for UV82 radio.
FOr the UV15 Pro does it matter if selecting a DIY or any number repeater number on radios frequencies. Or best selecting an empty channel to save and then go thru the process to set CTCSS and RTCSS modes to communicate with repeaters in my area.
Just picked up a set of UV 15 Pro GMRS radios. I frequently pick up receptions on people talking based on line of sight. My question to enable communicating via repeaters do I need to set up or program R/T CTCSS codes to talk and receive? Understanding many of the frequencies are preset for GMRS, making sure I don't screw up the presets enabled per factory on radios.
So would I locate this frequency, and input to enable this repeater?

After numerous YouTube videos, finally came across one which explained easily repeater setups. Failed to understand step of deleting channel, followed by memory channel 3X to save, receive and transmit. Now I'm on repeater book manually inserting repeaters!!!!
Ok guys, appreciate all the insight provided. Gain all the programing on CHIRP and a happy camper, somehow I delete yet had a copy on another computer. My next questions is attempting to add repeaters and if not provided a plus or minus how do you figure out what to place. Also notice some repeaters have a DN assigned number while others may have a offset, so confusing.
Luckily I sense I can clone one radio to the other, viewing frequencies and repeaters were maintained for 1-radio. In your experience is there any particular radio GMRS and or HAM you favor. Thanks in advance!
Steve appreciate, however the repeaters and or frequencies are deleted. Sensing are the generic ones coming with radio. On CHIRP only the first frequency is displayed. Will contact the manufacturer directly, thanks again.
Hello everyone appears I have lost all the data programmed on UV82 radios via CHIRP. Anyone have a suggestions or supply a cheat sheet to re-enter and program radios.
Which do you prefer and did either one come with antenna? If not what antenna do you use for better distance range with communications. View the radioditty is much less in price range.
I have a set of handheld GMRS radios, although seeking a GMRS radio to ping repeaters and maintain in vehicle. Should have NOAA capabilities and two band monitor. Attempting to get a feel for what others are using as will be my 1st radio in vehicle.
Any recommendations for a reliable GMRS radio for both off roading, travels and around town. Would be great to hear pros and cons on experiences on usage, brands and prices.
