BTECH GMRS-50V2 50W Mobile GMRS Two-Way Radio

The BTECH GMRS-50V2 is a solid base station radio. The GMRS-50V2 is a 50 Watt GMRS mobile radio compatible with all brands of Family Radio Service (“FRS”) and GMRS radios, as well as GMRS repeaters. It comes preloaded with 30 modifiable GMRS channels, and has 256 fully customizable channels.

One of the features that really stands out is that the Quad Watch functionality allows the user to monitor four channels simultaneously, so the GMRS-50V2 operates as multiple radios in one.  With a channel selected as the primary channel, you can simultaneously watch up to 3 other frequencies or channels. This feature makes sense for the likely band plan for using GMRS on the island with several local repeaters, an Emergency Channel, and several separate channels for individual organizations and communities.  In addition to FM and NOAA radio, you can scan and receive on VHF (136-174Mhz) and UHF (400-520) analog frequencies.  Ham, Marine, backup non-trunking, and non-digital Public Safety channels can all be programmed and monitored. One can simplify the radio to only watch one or two channels if desired.

The GMRS-50V2 is designed and distributed by BTECH, a US company, which allows you to have local support and a USA warranty for any issue that may arise.

The plan for Gasparilla Island use of the available GMRS frequencies shall be determined as the BGFRD/ EOC Steering Committee evolves.  The channels in each of the additional 5 banks can be customized with any mix of GMRS Tx/ Rx  or can be used to scan / receive on VHF (136-174Mhz) and UHF (400-520) analog frequencies.  Amateur, Marine, backup non-trunking, and non-digital Public Safety channels can be programmed and monitored.  Channel banks can be cloned and easily shared with other radios through the BTECH GMRS Programmer application.
