In this video I show you, review, and give you an overview of the new DB40-G 40-Watt Mobile GMRS radio. I go over most of the features of this radio, I review some of the weaknesses and issues with the radio and I do a power-output test to see if it really outputs 40 watts.

The MXTA26 antenna is worth every penny. Soo much better on receiving and transmitting than the little wire that came with my MXT575.
Yep. I missed seeing the link you pointed out. Just bought it! As a side topic on gmrs. I have the license but am uncertain on which radio to buy, I am not a techie. Which radios have the best displays and easiest to use? In other words, which would you suggest as one that is handheld and one for my Honda odyssey. I am not an off road person. Thanks for your super job!
Nice horse picture in the background
😂😂😂
😂👍
💯💥
One ugly ass horse 🤣
Hee Haw!!
The shirt in combination with what’s on the screen is perfect.
Haha, another great video. Well, after 45 years of installing and servicing two-way radio systems for government and commercial customers, I finally broke down and purchased my first FCC GMRS license for fun. Keep up the outstanding work reviewing radios. May sand fleas infest sad hams. 63 yr old disabled Army veteran, signal corp certified, rat rig maintainer.
Randy, I thought you would surely have a titillating picture of Stormy on the back screen.. Stay Safe......J
😂
i was so excited upon seeing the new upload that I have slightly soiled my paints. I genuinely enjoy your very informative and humerous uploads.
Bro, that picture you are showing behind your right shoulder is the face you get when the farmer goes into the barn to fill up your feed bag and water trough! LOL
I see that you have the horse that won the Kentucky Derby on the TV in the background. Oh I like the big bold colorful fonts you usually have on your thumbnails better.
TIME STAMP 11:51
Holy CRAP! Can you WARN us before hitting us with that fullscreen face?🤣
I almost choked on my Ovaltine!
Me too! It was like one of those videos that you watch and all of the sudden…. Bam, there it is, the scariest thing you never expected 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ovaltine? What are you 90?
@@UkrainianPaulie I mean have you seen these comments, most of the people here make the people in congress look young lmao.
Damn, someone beat me to the Horse comment. Ugly, Ugly Horse. Yes, I judged it by it's teeth. I'm no expert, but it just may be a JackAss. I ordered one about a week ago from Radioddity. It was not shipped from America. Tracking says it's on a slow boat from China...China. I was hoping it was not going to be so basic, but it will work. There is also no channel scan lock out on this radio. Another channel beat you on a review. He had a power meter that looked like yours, however, it was not the highly accurate "Farsometer 2000" that you have. He got 38 watts out. 30-38, it will get out there. I may have passed on it if I had waited for your stellar review. Thanks for the review Randy !
Randy, love the license plate homage to the 70s tv show Emergency. Well done, sir.
Thanks for the review, I know a couple of people this radio will work well for. Also...I have been watching your wheeling videos and enjoyed them. I am surprised that hasn't taken off for you. They are good.
Great news. 👍👍 Thanks, Randy.
The mood light really gives the video that special, intimate feel
Been waiting for this one!
Thanks. I've been waiting for mine in the mail, and yes, it came from Hong Kong. Hopefully soon I can play with it
Randolpho, You ROCK !!
The shirt is amazing. I have the same thing on the mat on my porch by my front door. Love it.
Ah yes….AOC. The poster child of idiocracy. Love it👍
gold randy, pure gold.
Thank Zenu, another TNaR review has dropped. I sacrificed a Motorola XTL5000 to Zenu for this. When I severed the mic from the head, it rolled all the way down the steps, spurting rf electricities all over the the alter and the spurious emissions made all sad hams below drop to their knees.
Thanks Randy my wife was wondering if the antenna you use squirts RF laser beams many fars with this new radio.😅😂 I told her she’s been listening to all the wrong parts of your video’s. Thanks for sharing your videos and pissing on the sad hams.
A review that's actually useful compared to the only other review of this radio, (at the time of this comment) which is worthless and done by someone who cares more about being a narcissist than actually providing an informative review. Thanks man!
Just one more time, so satisfying.
Randy, I love watching your videos, very informative and very entertaining. You mentioned that you can name the channels on the DB40G, but didn't explain how. Would you please do another u tube, explaining how to name the channels? Thank you for teaching me,and entertaining me. 😀
Too late, i've already given it away. You'll have to read the manual like I did. It's easy.
The Lord Xenu has indeed smiled upon you with a new radio to review.
Yay ! A new one. 😃👍. Your videos are great. Informative and entertaining
The evolution of that chewed pencil keeps me coming back from the next episode.
real
Nice presentation - simple and easy to understand.
BUT, the question remains...
Can I ADD blinky flashy lights to the front of it?
Thanks Randy!
I identify as a radio with lots of blinky lights.
Pee Diddy did not hang himself.
This is my favorite UT radio related channel. Great content. THX👍
Wife says……..average size……radio😂😂
Lmfao. Love the pic of the squirrel in the background lol
Anyone know if the Radioddity DB40-G "Mobile GMRS Radio" can be unlocked or hacked to RX and TX on ham bands?
Thank you!!
Just back from the future.....No flight list yet. The good news is that GMRS freqs are now totally free......PSYCH....Coming soon to a frequency specturm near you, if you key up a GMRS radio the FCCzz sends one of their "Friendly Enforcement Drones" to aggressively collect a user fee via AGM-114X. So that's been fun!
I think I'll stick with the DB25-G. I like the fact that I can listen to 2-meter and 70-centimeter both. I actually like the quad-watch feature, the fact it is currently CHIRP compatible and compact.
Hi Randy from uk, do you or have you tried the midland cb talk system, might be a good video, as a user it more like using chat room than cb
11:43 Yep!
Mine is putting out 40 watts and 48 watts on the GMRS Repeater channels
Poking the tism... Does install upside down?
Im thinking of building a UV45x4 into a tacticool backpack radio.
I’m a little disappointed about the lack of NOAA channels. Might be a minor thing but I like having them available. I dropped a DB20-g into my truck and like it a lot.
I agree. But then after I thought about it, I always have an HT with me that can receive NOAA anyway. Soooo not the end of the world. I’ve had the DB-40G for a few days now. I love it for what it is. Mine puts out 44.8 watts consistently 👍🍻
I literally lol. " soft supple hands of children ". Hilarious.
the pencil is looking quite good today.
Will you be reviewing the Alinco DJ-G46T GMRS handheld radio anytime soon?🤔
The flight logs are downloaded by RaddyDaddy and transmitted without a Roger Beep .
I was just looking at that one for my Gladiator!
i thought he would have marked his tape measure at 5inch or something. that would have been gold.
Any of you guys ever use beartooth radios with your smartphones? Maybe make a vid on that. I ran across it and i am wondering why it isn't more popular. encrypted traffic, frequency hops, you don't need a license, you can share your GPS location if you want with the range of a handheld baofeng supposedly.
How do you feel about the
UV-S9 Plus?
Nice
if I wanna wire this up to my roof, do you recommend any cable in specific? I am new to this. Also, if I were to paint the antenna to match my house so the HOA does not find out, would this affect the reception/output of the antenna?
If you will be using more than 25 feet of cable, you should use the best quality cable you can afford - I use "LMR400"..
Whether or not paining the antenna will affect it depends on the kind of antenna it is and the kind of paint you use.
@@TheNotaRubicon thanks for the incredibly fast response! I’m a few weeks out on having the time to set it up, I don’t want anything huge but just enough to get a good signal for the base station to connect to local repeaters here.
I was going to do HAM but the studying for the test was annoying! and then I found your videos about GMRS, so I paid for license today and got a GMRS V2 on Amazon to start. The GMRS community seems much more laid back and like you said, I already got a wife kids and hobbies, I just need it to work!
I'm neeeeeewww!
I have the GMRS pro, BF-F8HP, and yaesu 817. I just listen, mama said don't talk to strangers.
_roger beep_
"Boof Wang" now "Radio Diddy" 😂😂😂
Unrelated and possibly dumb question - Do you have any videos or info on 'Race Radio' frequencies and how to access them. i've seen several off road groups listing these frequencies and not sure if a ham or other radio would be required to utilize these channels.
Boy, you are right, that IS unrelated!
What's that Donkey you have paused on your TV?
Is this radio able to receive VHF or only UHF?
I didn’t appreciate you ending on that tone with me.
Lack of a Roger beep? Tough call.
I saw another review, I think it has a roger beep. Can't remember for sure, the Horse picture hurt my brain.
You said knobs
Does this radio still work over line-of-sight, if you lost your vision years ago due to an industrial accident ?
That’s funny, I don’t care who you are, sad ham or not 😂😂😂😂
No cooling fans but other lower models have them? Hmm
Let's go RADIOOOOO!
Sucking in dust and spiders, why did it have to be spiders?😂
He almost had me sold on this radio until he said it had no roger beep...
I'm not a fan of controls on the microphone. Also, would like to see a car mounted unit that can be used as a repeater from a hand held unit.
Uhm... Ok? Thanks for letting us know?
@@TheNotaRubicon You're welcome.
A GMRS license reminds me of a school hall pass.
Mother May ! ???
Randy. Where can I buy that t shirt go away?
by clicking any of the multiple links that say "buy that shirt by clicking here", or words to that effect.
Can it talks with the chef Conrad?
HEY, i use a 747 with buttons light and knobs. And enjoy it.😂
Automatic or stick?
When btech repeater video
No Roger beep? No sale.
So what is your average ?...... 7 inches, 5 1/2 inches or 1.5 inches ?
Who's your ddity!? 😎
Let me say that disregardless of the narrow band transmitting issue, which can be corrected, this radio appears to be an excellent deal for the monies.
Okay Mr Nota don't you think it's time to get out of the granola state and make the move to Texas like half your state already has, we have plenty of room here plus land is much cheaper here....
Oh no, no Roger Beep! Can’t annoy sad hams with this one!
How we supposed to anoy the sad hams without roger beep. Guess can have someone add it in.
Just say "Beeeep" before you unkey.
I talked with a sad ham online who seems to think that 2M and 70cm were only ever used for phone patch through repeaters and are pointless otherwise.
Radio ditty. My favorite Japanese company.
Maybe they should call it the Randyoddity.
40 Watts! That is a lot !
Are these allowed in Canada?
No. Your queen says they are too dangerous or something.
Actually I like feeling as if I am commanding a 747....so too bad no lights 😊
At least it won't crash and burn.
Favorite gmrs callsign? Wtf403w
I wish this guy would Blink just once! 😉
The male/it cat that assumes he owns me became noticeably amorous when you removed the protection..pawing at the responsible arm on the screen...😅
its pronounce Rad-ī-ōd-ditē lol jk but i do wanna hear u say it like that in a video 😂
I'd been watching this one on the Radioddity site for a week or so, just waiting for someone to do a review on it. From what I see I'll give it a hard pass. No Chirp, no NOAA, no multi-color display and only ~30 of the supposed 40 watts. My BTech GMRS50-V2 pumping 46 of its 50 watt rating has it beat hands down for only a bit more $$. Why can't anyone come out with a GMRS radio that is as sexy as a Yaesu FTM-500 ?
Someone did.
Some company from Japan called "Yeasu".
They call it the FTM-500.
jk... lol
I agree with you... but then - seriously, wouldn't it cost as much as the Yaesu?
I wonder how much in tariffs we pay on these things?
Waiting for the first person to bitch about “intensive purposes” 👀
😂😂😂
9:40.....YESSSS!!...YESSS!!...slowly....thats it....take it off slowly....😑😑😶😎😎🙈
Why is the price so high? I mean I’ve got my Baufeng UV-5R hooked up to my $38.00 Ghost antenna all for a total of about $70.00. Why the hell would I wanna pay double for that hunk of junk! Radio Shack used to sell that stuff under the Tandy Corporation. Thanks for backing up my comment Randy… You should mention that the heat sink on that Radio Shack reject will require that carry around a good pair of Jumper cables when the thing shorts out on your ground.
Are u stupid? Called Watts..
Of course this comes out the month after i get the DB-25G lol
I have both, and I like them both. My DB-40G measured at 44.8 watt output , my 25-G does 19.2 watts on a good day. 40-G is super simple basic radio, like a midland.
@@travislyon7046I got 48 watts on repeater channels. It's well built and Quiet. Not heating issues at all. It does remind me of a midland radio
There is a horse in the background over Randy’s right shoulder. Could be a jack ass.
Definitely a jackass.
A.O. seeee her later.
Ha!
IS THAT A MARMOT on the SCREEN ???
Why make a radio with less than 50 watts?
R-dity
LMAO! Every time!
