  1. Good evening, I was recently looking for American made GMRS radio. Does anyone have a Made in USA hand held they would recommend? The reason I am looking for American manufacturing is concern over the radios and pagers that blew up. Several years ago, a group that I belong to bought several Baofeng UV-5r radios. Back then we could all use them since two of the members had GMRS license. The FCC changed the rule sometime in 2017, then every number had to have their own license. Different the new license was change to what it is like today, every family member can use the same license. The reason I mention this, about 12 years ago we were using the UV-5r for emergencies and local communication and they worked well. The UV-5r was a nice little radio for around $30.00. Back January 24, Members wanted to upgrade the radios. We bought Baofeng UV-5G Plus and Tidradios H3. My point is, here about 12 years later, with all the hyperinflation we are going through' these new radios with a lot more features and channels are still $30.00. We are a bunch of old-geezers and concerned about the many radios we gave to family members and friends. Does anyone have an idea on whether these radios could pose a danger? And does anyone know if there is a way to check them? This might be in the wrong category, if so, I would like to apology. Thank you for reading.
