WSAE510 Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 The BTech GMRS pro radio is really awesome. Has anyone else has one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OffRoaderX Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 I has one.. But I can't talk about it because that might be comparing apples to oranges and apparently that makes "some people" very sad. hfd376, SteveS, jsneezy and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jig Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 I have one, great little radio. no real complaints about its ability to TX/RX but I still have troubles getting the radio to find GPS signal. Sometimes, even with clear view of the sky, it can take 15+ minutes to acquire a signal. I'm not sure if this is expected but I'd assume it would be faster.

If it only happens when it has been turned off, then moved some distance before being turned back on, it's acquiring a new almanac, data which shows it where to look for satellites.

GreggInFL Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 My marine VHF radio can take a while to connect. In fact, after about 15 minutes it will issue a warning if it has not connected. This is done for safety reasons as it can automatically send a distress signal with ship name and coordinates if it hits the water.
