BEFORE YOU COMMENT-
1) Yes, we know you need to hold the radios in the same orientation (we tried multiple angles off camera).
2) Yes, we know this isn't apples to apples.
3) Yes, we know the Garmin model is older.
If you're trying to poke holes in the test, we've probably considered it. This was just a quick and dirty distance test with two different radios.
Rusty and Chris test the claims of Motorola and Garmin FRS / GMRS radios by communicating from mountain peak to mountain peak with them.
FRS / GMRS radios shine when cell service goes dark. Whichever brand or model you buy, test them. Make sure they are ready for when you will need them.

Thank you, thank you, thank you ! Finally someone tested the Garmin against another radio. We have been telling Garmin for years that the antenna set up is not making it. I wish they would put a standard SMA connector on top and move the GPS antenna. Users could choose which after market antenna works best. Cobra has applied to the FCC to make a radio that sends the GPS burst with a transmission. I hope they are successful. I hope you guys get to test them. Radioddity, and Retevis are making some very nicely priced GMRS radios. I hope that they incorporate the GPS mapping in one of their future radios.

Ham radios can also attach WAY better antennas, so they could’ve used a directional antenna to improve things drastically

Im sure that 2 radios with different tones key up, you will hear the other radio or conversation because all the tone does is break the squelch to all it to hear the frequency...think of it as a stop and go light...everyone can see it but only those who are supposed to go at that time and tone can...but you can crash into someone else already going. The other issue when testing is that on the left side, you are by a bunch of trees and the other one was all clear of them....then you kept changing the HT's from vertical to horizontal reducing the effectiveness of the radio as if you guys are using cell phones. If I had mountains in my area without trees I would buy a pair to show the difference when you have trees, and rotate your radios when transmitting and receiving.

I get using those kind of Mike’s in a podcast or something or a radio show her you can’t see the people, but those are very distracting. Why wouldn’t you just have a nice Lavalier mic on and no one even notices? Anyway, I’m saying there’s a complete good faith and I’m not trying to be a jerk at all. It’s just they stick out and distract me so much. I’m sure there’s a reason, and if I understood the reason, then maybe I would understand. Anyway thanks again for your videos.

@rhyoliteaquacade Жыл бұрын
Consumer grade GMRS and FRS radios have an inherent weakness that is not apparent to the general public. The receivers, though very sensitive are not very well protected against signals well off channel. In an environment like where you were testing, there are other radio systems, most fairly high power in the UHF band, broadcasters in VHF and UHF bands. A Commercial radio like the police and fire services use, have additional filtering in the receiver, after the antenna, which block signals which are out of band. These undesired signals 'sap" the gain of the receiver and reduce the effective sensitivity. If tested in a lab, the radios will produce sensitivity and power output to suggest a 16 or 32 mile range, but in reality, it is a fraction. You might do this test again in a truly desolate location and have better results. However if you are line of sight with any radio or TV transmission towers, chances are the radios will again falter. I use surplus commercial public safety (police) radios which were designed for an urban environment (and cost many thousands of dollars new) and have had great results.

Hmmm. You can use ham radios w/o a license. Not legally, but if you use them while camping or other outings, the FCC isn't going to do squat. If you're going to use a repeater, that's different. Repeater owners require users to be licensed or you can't play with their ball. I was going to get licensed myself, but no one's on the repeater in my area. I leave my radio on for hours and though it covers a wide area, no one is online.

When they say emergency they don't mean ww3. They literally mean anything you'd call 911 for more or less and radio happens to be the only option available to you go ahead and use it. Generally if you're using the emergency clause in good faith you're not going to get in big trouble especially if the radio you have is pretty programed for appropriate HAM/GMRS stuff. Step on the military or other critical infustructure for anything short of life and death and you'll probably have a bad day. HAM tech is honestly easy to get if you're interested in preparedness coms, don't just assume you can't. Might even find a non emergency use format like texting you fam from the trail using aprs where your cell phone doesn't work to say yer running late but okay.

​@VicGreenBitcoin Looks like 446 in the US band plan, PMR446 would interfere with UHF repeater inputs. So, while interesting, might cause issues. Maybe cause a fox hunt.

If I understand neither one of radios are repeater capable, right? That Garmin looks like a great tool to have, but in a real scenario, you're not going to get the range as advertised.

for gmrs 16 miles is too far. it will work at 3 miles. I think with the distance you tried using Rino, it's good enough. because what we need is short-range radio communication, especially in the forest. too many barriers...

I baught 2 really good cobra walkies and i baught several cheap walkies to pass out to my neighborhood. If shtf and phones aren't working we can warn each other of any kind of threat. Or just to talk to each other if we get board lol😂

Look up P25 motorola radio. Almost all emergency services have gone digital and encrypted radios which means no. .New York had these fancy radios before 911 and they had trouble with them. The fire fighters had gone back to an older radio system and when 911 happened. Police couldn't talk to the older firefighters radios which depended on a repeater system that was on the world trade center and got knocked out. New York's dooms day communication bunker was next to the world trade complex and became worthless too.

I have a question, if there is a natural disaster, if the Cel Towers are down.... if the t*sh is hitting the fan.....will the FCC really be worried about who has a license? The reason I ask is that if I am planning for doomsday, I'd want the radio that gives me the best chance to reach someone or communicate with Family even nearby.... would I get a ticket or worse yet, thrown in jail, if I escape the zombies and nuclear (pronounced Nook-you-ler) Fallout, and still come out on top unscathed...will Uncle Sam really be waiting for me to bring me in for failing to have a license? All that being said, are there any of the unlicensed radios that I can use that go at least a mile or two even in the city?

GMRS is your best bet the license is cheap now and no test good for 10 years and the immediate family. The radios themselves will cost you more. As to what radios I suggest "notarubicon"s videos for tons of info but the newer wide band Midland micromobiles are the best easy to use reliable coms imho. Handheld probably a wuxon something. Really though I know you don't want to hear it but reliable coms take research,knowledge,and feild testing your gear before the emergency.

Excellent video and yes these values can change depending upon Where You Are for example test out of UBC when a friend that was driving to a mountain 52 km away well almost line of sight basically 30 MI and the signal went true a Uniden from Canadian Tire red and black this was transmitting between two watts and 500 MW the signal was there however because it was weak based on hypothesis I knew the signal will travel because it is literally almost the line of sight minus the curvature of the Earth I have an altitude from UBC at 300 ft and the altitude of my friend was 3,000 ft up on a mountain basically nothing blocking the signal from traveling through however monitor Button had to be put off basically eliminating the squash and just listening to the static the signal went true you would be surprised what you can do with these radios even I had another friend who was a electrical engineer and he had Motorola the same model in the city we can do about 5 MI and from SFU to downtown Vancouver roughly 10 MI the signal does go through so of course it all depends on your territory I also suspect that you could do more range you literally have to have pure line of sight Google map of course and eliminate all obstacles out of the way at the same time you can try to modify the antenna or you can add up a counterpoise to the negative side of your battery a wire of about 6 in half a wave will be about 12:35 right inches you may get more range however even speaking to someone with the same model they're not bad little radios definitely okay the Chinese make model you were showing definitely has more power however you would be surprised that even with 500 milliwatts that signal from that mountain to UBC traveled and made it true 30 MI of course these were specific and unique conditions thank you and 73
