Depends on what model and year it is.

It matters a little.. A superhet radio will have slightly better sensitivity to pick up weaker signals.. Slightly better 'selectivity', so it will ignore static/off-frequency noise slightly better.. But yah, most normal people would never notice any differences between a superhet and an SOC/HOMOdyne... HOMO...dyne.. Type radio.. As to the question: IIRC the GXT67 Pro is a partial/modified superset receiver.. Meaning that the receive side is superhet but the transmit side is not (or visa-versa) - But that is just going by memory - and I just woke up, so, that could be wrong.

It's very easy - you just state your intended "business use" on the form. It seems they are more interested in taking your money than confirming what you will be doing.

I have had 2 or 3 50V2 radios and none of them output more than 32W (iirc) .. When I called BTech about it I was told the low power reading was because I was measuring the power with the antenna connected instead of with a dummy load.. So I purchased a dummy load and the power output reading was the exact same... When I measure my KG1000G radio(s), they all read 48-51Watts.. This is one of the reasons the BTech's are inexpensive- because they lie.

Here are some things to check/consider: Are you sure you are on the correct REPEATER CHANNEL? Are you sure you are using the correct TRANSMIT TONE? For simplicity, remove the RECEIVE TONE for now, it is optional Try driving closer to the repeater - just because you can hear it does not mean it can hear you.

I'm with you brotha! I use it primarily for off-roading and on the trip to get TO off-roading and it busts my britches every time i hear the H.A.M.s radios wanna-be's long-talking on the repeaters.

You spelled Dork Side wrong.

The preset Repeater channels use the standard 8 frequencies so if you want two repeaters that both use Repeater channels 19, you will have to either: manually go in and change the tones when you want to switch repeaters OR add/configure a new, custom channel using the same frequency but with the different tones I do not recall off the top of my head if the MXT500 will allow you to create custom repeater channels/change the existing ones, so others will have to chime-in because I'm too lazy to look it up.

I dont recall anyone else in your other threads confirming they have the same problem... Hopefully in this thread everyone will leave comments to confirm the truth about this major, widespread issue, proving what a shill I am, because everyone knows how I never say anything negative about any radios ever because I only say what my handlers tell me to say.

....

What, exactly, are you confused about? What is it you are not able to do? FIND repeater? USE repeaters? Something else?

I have had and used ~25 KG series radios, and all of them worked as designed so I've never had any need/reason to "test" them. have you had actual "issues" using them, or did you just test them and assume that because the results were not 10000% accurate, that there were "issues"?

Wrong - I think what you meant to say is "it depends on where you are transmitting and what is around you"..

A typical 5-watt (GMRS/UHF) signal can easily reach 15-50 miles in the right conditions. The moral of the story is that the topographical conditions in your area determine farz more than power. Source: I have tested ~100 GMRS/UHF radios.

You did not say what model Baofeng you have (they make a LOT of radios), but most Baofeng models do have Simultaneous Receive (TDR) as do most TidRadios.

It might help if we knew what kind of radio you have.

Based on my testing and experience: NO

We were actually standing at the Ft. Irwin fence along the southwestern edges, reading the "you better not go past this point" signs when we were hearing the guys in Death Valley.

Whenever we are out off-roading I scan all channels - but because of the terrain/geography of the Southern California deserts, the range is usually limited to only a few miles. One time we were in the desert near Barstow and was able to talk with a group off-roading in Death Valley, about 85 miles away - but even in that case, we would not have been much help because they were TOO far...

Get your 200C up as high as possible and use the best coax you can afford... and look into repeaters nearby - depending on your local geography, 13 miles might be a no-go.

We all just wish we could be as smart as you.

Not worth risking the heavy-fines or possible jail time ! SOURCE: "some people" right here on this very forum.

My guess is you would never notice the difference.

if you mean as a way to get help if you become stuck or injured then NO.. GMRS is NOT a good choice .. GMRS is great for talking to other guys in your group while off-roading, but in the event of a real emergency where you need assistance or rescue, then something like a Sat-phone, a Garmin InReach or Starlink is advisable.
