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

Well made product that feels well made. Battery life is really no more than one day so carry a spare or get a powerpack on hikes or plug in in the car. Not water proof which made us leave in the car on a wet day hike. The brightness is impossible to see the screen in the sun. Easy to get started and yse right away.Can not wait to try other products from Radioddity.Worked well between cars on a road trip from San Francisco to Phoenix with stops at major national parks. When an issue arose with a blown out tire in Death Valley, down a gravel road where the second car was several miles away we were able to communicate and lend assistance in the 112 degree heat. Also worked well during long travel times in the mountains where there was no cell service. Has limitations but more to do with area of use not the equipment. As a first time CDMA radio use I have lots to learn after getting my license but it saved us on several occasions on this trip.

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!

This works well, seems well built, and Radioddity has some QC. It’s a chunky radio, so this isn’t a tiny pocket piece. I’ve had better radios to program, but it isn’t impossible.

Built like a tank dropped it several times from 3 feet on cement floor , not even a scratch.Radio menu and buttons are very intuitive.Th3 captures frequencies a bit better but I sure do appreciate the sound out of the GM30 plus much more . Makes any background bacon sound much more tolerable. Accepts Chirp using beofang uv17 plus as stand in. I have not jailbroken it so not much to say there.

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.

Love this radio easy efficient good battery easy to use pair this with a nagoya 771g and get even better performance and it's a solid radio

its a good radio but now im seeing deals with my radio and 2 batteries for a little more. Which gets me mad buy i can purchase a battery for 16$

Though being new to GMRS radios, not only did I do plenty of research which lead me to Radioddity's GM-30 Plus, but even took the steps for an FCC License prior to purchase. The radios were as described and function as they are supposed to. I received them quickly. If you are looking for a quality yet inexpensive GMRS I believe this is the radio you're looking for. I now even have plans to purchase one of Radioddity's vehicle mobile GMRS radios to turn into a home based radio with a roof mounted amplified antenna for a bit more range. I also have future plans to build a repeater tower at some point. And yes, these radios do work with repeater towers. Luckily there is an active repeater tower in the next city over from my town(35+ miles away) that these hand held radios can communicate with. Their battery life is great and the USB C charging plug is very convenient because it's what I also use with my phones and tablets. Their range and clarity is much better than FRS/CB radios which is the reason I started looking into GMRS to begin with. Very easy to use the basic functions of this radio, but there are many other features you will need to research to see how those features would benefit you to get the full experience of the radio.
