Radioddity GM-30 Plus GMRS Handheld Radio, GMRS Repeater Capable Long Range NOAA/UHF/VHF/Airband Scanner & Receiver, 1000 Channels, GPS Tracking, Programming Cable+15.5” ANT, 2 Pack (Chirp Compatible)

I purchased two dual pack sets for our Alaskan cruise on Royal Caribbean. They worked very well while in the ship and at ports of call. The RC app often either didn't work or delayed messages which was a nightmare since we had 14 people in our immediate family and about 75 people overall. Battery Life was great. I appreciated that the radios used a standard USB C connector so I didn't have to bring special cables. Range was fantastic for communicating with family on and off the ship. The controls were simple to use for all ages. We also got weather alerts while we were off the ship due to a tsunami warning. Carrying the radios wea simple, I clipped them onto my day bag and adjusted the volume so that I could hear chatter when needed. Sound quality was excellent. The radios are built well and very durable. These are GMRS Radios and you need a license to use them legally in the US. You don't need to take an exam, but you do need to pay the FCC for a license which lasts for 10 years and.covers everyone in your immediate family. This is due to the extended range and watts. While these are 5 watt radios, GMRS radios can go up to 50 watts. Good radio. I'd buy again.

The Radioddity GM-30 Plus really packs a lot of value at a reasonable price point! For my daughter & son-in-law being new to GMRS (and radio in general) I felt the GM-30 Plus looked like a solid choice and found this to be very true. Pros: Easy to use/navigate functions, good RX/TX audio, sensitive RX across multiple bands including ham, public safety (analog only), weather, etc., GPS location sharing with other GM-30 Plus radios, USB-C charging, easy to read display, 10 zones for memory management, solid 'real' radio feel in the hand...it's just a really good radio! Cons: Only a few little niggles about this radio in my eyes: battery life seems to be a little shorter than I would expect even with settings tweaked to maximize battery life and the fact that when selecting a zone it is tied to BOTH A&B sides of the radio so you are restricted to only listening to different memory channels within the same zone on each side of the radio. Neither of these are deal-killers, but be aware. Overall the Radioddity GM-30 Plus is a very solid & very capable radio that I would recommend to any GMRS user, new or experienced.

It’s a good radio reaches local repeaters easily. Battery consumption is higher than the other radios I own

Great little handhelds. Easy to program from the keypad, long battery life, and a decent range too. And the price is right. I would recommend these to any GMRS user.

For 30 bucks each, these are well worth it. Radio. Quality voice, as expected. I have the GM30 that I love and these GM30 plus are quite a big larger. They feel solid. GPS. It is a basic GPS feature that must be programmed via their software. It wasn't hard. You can send your location to up to 20 preprogrammed contacts, and request their location as well. It gives a basic compass rose, direction, and distance in meters to the radio location. There is a bug I found in which if you request a location, the radio you are requesting it from needs to be in GPS mode or it will hang up and keep trying to key. User interface. Significantly different from the GM30 and a Baofeng. Not bad, just different. Still pretty intuitive. The radio does 10 different "zones" which could be helpful for repeater use while traveling. Each zone has 100 user programmable channels, again, via their software. Remember, these are GMRS radios and cannot be jail broken. You can listen to vhf, uhf, air band etc but can still only transmit GMRS. Do these have a place in kit? I think so. For 30 bucks there are enough features to warrant it, at least for me.

The Radioddity GM-30 Plus GMRS Handheld Radios have been fantastic for our outdoor adventures. The sound quality is crisp and clear, and the range is impressive — we stayed connected even when miles apart on the trails. The radios feel solid and well-built, with intuitive controls that are easy to figure out right away. Battery life is solid too, lasting through long days without needing a recharge. If you want dependable communication without breaking the bank, these GMRS radios are an awesome choice. Highly recommend for off-roading, camping, or just staying in touch!

Great entry level radio has GPS that I use to find my brother during hunting season I can ping him get a location and find camp.

This radio is similar to Baofeng radios ... It is either HIT or MISS .. this is a MISS
