    The BTECH 25x4 uses HT finals, overdriven to 20 watts or so. My UHF went out on mine. I still use it for 220. It also has memory issues now, that I finally got ironed out. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    You cannot use ham repeaters without a ham license, period. You must reprogram the radio to frequencies you are legally licensed to use. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    Mine has been working great over 2 years. I'd write btech for an exchange if it doesn't work after a cool down. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    They do. But some older commercial equipment got both part 90 and part 95 certified. Now manufacturers are too lazy to get both. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    Most repeater owners and users will tell.you to turn off the beep. Its annoying and unnecessary. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    As long as you use the Abbree brand, you'll see some performance improvements. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    The uv5r is not fcc certified for gmrs use and is therefore illegal on GMRS. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    Fcc regulations have the power of law behind them. It's called the Communications Act. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    I use a 20 watt radio as my home radio. Works great. Power does not need to be 50 watts to be effective Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
