RIPPER238

GMRS Emergency channel = Any channel that answers the call.

I guess answers will depend on your definition of "emergency situations", GMRS is a good start, but a full basic understanding of all radio communication is key if you want to use it for emergency's. GMRS by its self is limited to others around you (line of sight), or some random luck fining others that are, maybe a local repeater to boost range. My 15 watt GMRS radio in my truck has been good for off road trips with others on the trail, but i use TDH3 or Q10H for real emergency monitoring. What makes the KG-1000G good is that you have listening (RX) access to more frequently used frequency's (need Ham license to communicate (TX). This way you can be more aware of what's going on, but you wont be able to communicate on those frequency's with a GMRS radio (KG-1000G).

I like how you can set it. Helps when monitoring at home and not having to stare at it or pick it up to check if its on. TidRadi radios are feature packed. Hard to go to other radios without missing something.

Just got my new 935G Plus the other day. It appears to be the most robust and solid GMRS radio from my research. Display is super bright compared to my Q10H and in some ways has better features. I think anyone with the cash should get it if you do a lot of GMRS. Still wondering if the desktop charger on the 935G will charge my Q10H batteries and vice versa, seems nicer then the on that came with my Q10H.

Yes, mentioned earlier. Manly have it programed for GMRS, but use the higher numbers for other bands. No issues transmitting or receiving.

Hmm, maybe because i manually entered most of my memory and/or BT transferred from one to another? I'm pretty sure my AM is over 50 as well. Must be something input or a setting that causing it.

My Midland has been fine for the passed 4 years or so, from -5 up to 140+. Just don't buy junk and its fine.

I like my Q10H for the most versatility, but I'm sure i would prefer some of the better Ham radio manufacturers if i really delved into Ham. Just got a KG935G Plus and its pretty awesome for GMRS, love the features and i really couldn't find anything equivalent. Even without a budget.

Limitation of the machine. lol Maybe? Technically I transmitted on CH185 on ~2M. Haven't tried GMRS that high.

I have no issues transmitting on higher channels. 185 for example, no issue. GMRS version unlocked.

I don't use CHIRP, I use the app or the TID software. Same with my Wouxun. App is pretty sweet on the TID's. If i had a different radio than those i would use CHIRP.

Good info! Just order a 935G+ since i was looking for a dedicated GMRS and the 935H only does 3.5-5.5 watts on GMRS anyway. I already have the Q10H, which i have been happy with. I should test my Q10H output, though i only have a Surecom and my regular antennas to test with.

Does your 935H output 8 watts on GMRS?

Thanks. May get the 935G Plus then. Definitely need a ride to radio anonymous meeting. I have 4 cheap radios and the Q10H and am looking for more. What's bad is i have no friends to share them with and no repeaters around me. I so I need some serious help...

That's exactly my dilemma, thinking of family members (but i guess i can lock the radio). I also love that the Q10H can also double as a repeater.
