The cost/benefit analysis for us, giving to our style in extended camping-overlanding it is a worthy expense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SonoranWanderer 254 Posted January 13 If I was going to go with a pure, part 95E certified GMRS 50w radio, the Wouxun KG-1000G GMRS for $369 would be my pick (a serious GMRS power-user radio). Although when you factor in the programming cable and an antenna, it's not actually cheaper than the Midland MXT500. I also like the detachable head. I really don't want a radio body anywhere in the front of my cab. But I am not going to, because I have other 50w radios that can also do GMRS https://www.buytwowayradios.com/wouxun-kg-1000g.html 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gearhead 290 Posted January 14 When I started wheeling everyone used CB, which was replaced by HAM because of clarity and range issues. Now GMRS has apparently usurped HAM because of that pesky test, lol! 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope my ham radios can be tuned to pick up and transmit GMRS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
