WSJW650 Posted 5 hours ago Report Posted 5 hours ago Preemptive thank you for any advice/commentary/etc Newbie proud owner of an AR5RM and a Radioddity DB20-G….couldn't possibly need anything more….but I crave a GMRS capable radio with the simplicity of synchronization of the Main channel “A” Name displayed up top with the frequency of channel A displayed below in “B” It is my understanding from reading reviews that the UV5x3 has this channel synchronization utility and that the F8HP does not. Posting to confirm this. I am also attracted to deals and low cost like a moth to a flame….and the F8HPpro is currently on sale on the Bezos store front. Or, if Newbie is wrong about most of what was just typed; please suggest a similarly priced ($40-$70) option that has this nice, simple channel synchronization display ability Thankyou. Quote

Yeah, same with the bug zapper. They end up in the collection tray on the bottom sooner or later, but they seem they just can't help themselves. After a while of spending money on CCR's many people end up buying a much higher price radio. I like to tell people looking at the CCR's, cheap Chinese radios, you get what you pay for, and often not even that. SteveShannon and WSJW650 1 1 Quote

WRYS709 Posted 3 hours ago Report Posted 3 hours ago The BTech UV-5x3 is a tri-band Ham Radio that also supports the 220 MHz band and has some nice programming features over my older Baofeng UV-5Rx3. I do not know if the 5x3 supports transmission on GMRS. WSJW650 1 Quote
