Digital gmrs radio

[Bryspark88]

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a digital and analogue gmrs radio?

Digital is not permitted on GMRS, so you won't find a digital radio with Part 95 certification. You will find plenty of older commercial radios that have Part 95 and Part 90, like Kenwood, Vertex and Motorola.

 

Read some of the review and technical discussion on this forum. There are plenty of recommendations there.

Not true about the certification part. For example the NX-300's are Part 95A certified and will do both analog FM and NXDN digital. You just have to make sure you DON'T use the digital half on GMRS.

Given the spelling of "analogue" maybe you are in Europe, which does allow a license-free digital service called PMR.  Those radios are not currently allowed to be used here in the US (unless modified to be used 70 cm with a Ham license).

A good all-in-one radio for your interests and least expensive one on the market is the Radioddity RD-5R, which is basically their GD-77 but uses the classic Baofeng UV-5R design and can use its accessories, including high capacity batteries.

It is analog and DMR digital: 2 meters, 70 cms, GMRS (simplex and repeater) and even MURS, but of course not certified for GMRS or MURS.
