[Btech GMRS 20v2]

I just ordered a Btech GMRS-20V2 that is getting delivered tomorrow. I know that this is still new on the market, but I was hoping that someone on here has had some experience with it. I'm looking for some tips and tricks on programming it with either the proprietary Btech software or chirp, or any other helpful information. Thanks

I have all the gear. Trying to program a couple local repeaters.

Anybody in the NOVA area that would be down to program my radio for me. I'm getting quite feed up with it dumping the settings from chirp as soon as I go to test. Will even consider paying for it.

There is some good info about that radio in another thread here in the forum.

 

If that info doesn't answer all your questions, please let us know in this thread and we can take it from there... scroll down until you see the posts about the V1 -

Hi jmcconomy,

The GMRS V-1 is a nice radio.   I have one and use it often.  To program the radio using chip is not hard once you understand what info goes where.   I will try to explain it so I don't confuse you.   For example using a repeater on channel 18.   If the input is 467..625, the output is 462.625.  If you have a PL tone of 555.5 (not a real tone, just used as an example) , here is what you would enter in chirp.  Repeater channel 18 for the GMRS V-1 is line #18 in chirp.

 

Frequency = 462.625

Tone Mode = TSQL

Tone & Tone Sql = 555.5 ( enter actual tone from MyGMRS.com)

Cross Mode = Tone-Tone

 

That should get your repeater channel programmed in.   If you have any other questions, I will try to answer them

 

Hope this helps and enjoy your radio.

 

 

Thanks to both of you all your help is much appreciated I am getting contact with the repeater that is local to me.

I looked through that and was still confused. This radio is not very user friendly.

Check out the Baofeng GMRS-V1 for a decent handheld radio. It's a pretty good radio for about $55 shipped from Amazon.

And, it's type accepted and therefore 100% legal.

 

I know that the radio has repeater channels pre-programmed but how do I put the tones for the repeater in so that i can talk on it?

Hey everyone,

 

I am new to GMRS radio usage and programming repeaters into the radio. I have a B-tech GMRS V 1 (I know there are better options but this was the only radio in my price range). I am looking for help on how to program the repeaters on the allocated repeater channels. I also use CHIRP for programming.

 

TIA
