[Why "More Power" Isn't The Answer]

Nice writeup(s), Thank you.  Super informative.

I'm new to GMRS. I have been monitoring Public Safety channels alot, but never heard anyone in my area talk on GMRS. I am 4 miles away from our Local Repeater (Cowee Bald, North Carolina). Should be hearing something, but nothing yet.  Learning allot before jumping in on a First GMRS Radio. Looking at some of the ebay Kenwoods.

Do any of you use the TK-880 Radios?  I am also considering one.  RCM, Are the TK-880's what you talk GMRS on? I am going to go with one of the Kenwoods, as I like their ruggedness.  My main activities are Local Emergency Agency (Law Enforcement, Fire Dept, EMS) monitoring & GMRS.

Thanks for the comments and help. KipandLee I did reach out to the link you shared.

 

thank you.

[Kenwood TK-8360H]

Hey all, new to the forum & GMRS.  I am looking to pickup a radio from ebay soon, and am considering one of the Kenwood TK-8360H units.  I understand they are rugged, and a quality build.  UHF (GMRS) 45w and relatively new.  Anyone out here have any experience using them?  I have read and heard of many people using older Kenwood TK-XXX units.

Curious to hear if there is any reason not to go with a newer hardware unit.

 

Thanks for any advice.
