My B-Tech GMRS V1 claims that with software the 8 repeater channel slots can be setup for any repeater frequencies. But being limited to 8 repeaters is limiting for some people. B-Tech was good for the consumer GMRS market because they showed that there was a lot of demand for that type of radio. However, they didn't quite understand how GMRS is used by folks that are past the bubble pack radios. The Wouxun 805 handheld and the new 1000 mobile are probably the best for the power users.
