PartsMan Posted December 25, 2022 Report Share Posted December 25, 2022 Here is my latest addition to my GMRS collection. A pair of waterproof floating FRS HTs. My other hobby is kayaking so these are perfect for coms with more expensive radios on shore. WRVR475, WRQK415 and Sab02r 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartsMan Posted December 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 I guess I have the best wife on this site. Nobody else got radios for Christmas. It's funny these are the crappiest radios I have at being radios but I am so excited because they are perfect in the right situation. catbrigade, Sab02r and wayoverthere 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they float when used on the water. Better than seeing a $300 radio sink out of sight like a rock.

Sab02r Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 Nice! I am looking forward to a review on the RT49Ps, PartsMan, once you have had a chance to get them on the water. I'd like to know how many "fars" they will allow you to "talks" across the water. Here is my Christmas KG-1kG plus. Thanks wifey!

I will post it here somewhere. So far all I have done is remove the Retevis tones (That was simple enough but a hassle to do 22 times) and make sure they talk back and forth with my GM-30 in the house.
