Know before you buy
While the maximum range is rated at 36 miles, this applies to open, unobstructed areas like flat plains or over water. In real-world conditions with trees, buildings, or hilly terrain, you should expect a significantly shorter range.
These radios carry a JIS4 rating, which means they are splash-resistant from any angle. They can handle light rain or damp conditions, but they are not designed to be submerged in water.
Yes, because these are GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) radios, they require an FCC license for operation in the United States. You can obtain this license through the FCC website without taking an exam.
Yes, these radios are compatible with other FRS/GMRS two-way radios as long as they are tuned to the same channel and privacy code. You will need to ensure the frequencies match for clear communication.
The five unique animal call alerts are designed for hunters to mimic specific wildlife sounds. They can be used to signal other members of your group without alerting game in the area.
Yes, these units are compatible with standard AA batteries if you are away from a power source and your rechargeable packs are depleted. This is a helpful backup feature for long trips.
