5 Watt GMRS Radio - alnk.to/8PDG0DK (Rocky Talkie)
Mountain Radio - alnk.to/dewCx35 (Rocky Talkie)
We absolutely love our Rocky Talkie Mountain Radios, we consider them part of essential gear when backpacking and hiking. When the new 5 Watt GMRS radios were released, we reached out to Rocky Talkie to see if they would be interested in us reviewing them. We were super excited they said yes. So off to the mountains we headed to test them out, but first we wanted to test the longevity of the batteries. For our test we did a 7 day battery test comparing the 5 Watt to the Mountain Radio, along with another inexpensive GMRS Radio, the RadioDitty GM30. We were very surprised with the results. Testing the range of the radios was next on the agenda, heading to a heavily forested mountain area with lots of hills and ravines. When it comes to Overlanding, having a good communication system is key, the 5 Watt radios will be a great addition to our offroad gear.

Do you have a favorite radio for Overlanding?

@NickWindham 4 күн бұрын

They said it was the 5-Watt Rocky Talky GMRS

I have the 5-watt with the 17cm antenna and it is drastically better! Getting stuck in the Sierra’s this weekend, I clicked it to scan and was able to pick up someone at palisades as well as someone with a repeater in Auburn covering ~60-miles in total. Great little units!

Nice! I think we will end up doing a remote antenna once we have a decent mounting option.

Ordering a few Mnt Radios tonight for family shenanigans this summer. Would’ve loved the 5watt radio but not available up here in Cnd😞.

Nice 😃. Does Cnd have an alternative to the GMRS radios?

Get out of the vans and you will get much better reception for a better test. Using them inside of two vehicles greatly reduces their range.

That is true but we wanted to test in an overland scenario when people are in their vehicles.

The antennas of the transmitting and receiving radios should be parallel to each other. If one radio is being held horizontally like in this video it will attenuate the signal.

Buy the antenna for the 5 watt it will help big time.

Good advice. 😀

$165?? No wonder they don't list the price on their site.

For good investment for GMRS, New / Old Stock Motorola HTs and some mobiles are perfect for GMRS. I know I know, you shouldn't use Part 90 radios on Part 95 E Frequencies.. According to the majority of GMRS repeaters out there, 90% of those repeaters are FCC Part 90 and not 95.
