BTech GMRS pro

[WSAE510]

The BTech GMRS pro radio is really awesome. Has anyone else has one?

[OffRoaderX]

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.

[SteveShannon]

No, I has none.

Negative. I has Boofwang and Radioddity. Also been thinking about getting a Wouxon (Ocean).

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.

Wow, I didn't expect that. I thought my Garmin watch was slow when sometimes it would take up to a minute.

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.

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.
