  • Cheap easy to use radios for short range community or group radios. These would be great to have for short range to keep in contact with friends and family during an emergency situation. These radios can be found in the camping section at walmart. I hope you enjoy the video. We still have a PO Box for the channel addresses are below. ENJOY!!!

    Our SHTF group has scouts that will carry these and binoculars. Not the best, but very good to have for security.

    if there is no docking station you go to the store and buy two wall chargers and
    two set's of batterys charge them up and your good to go as this guy will not
    be ready when the s h f but I will be ready as I carry extra batteries
    in my every day carrie bag.

    Tip: FRS allows 2w max on SOME channels. Get a *_GMRS_* license.

      Already have a GMRS now, I waited til the price went down.

      Or don't. The FCC doesn't actually care and most people use more than that with Baofengs on GMRS. I pirate commercial frequencies instead.

      but baofengs are part 95 certified by the f c c to work eather F R S or

    I baught a couple of the cheapest walkies. Just incase shtf. Mine is pretty expensive but I baught a couple too pass out to my neighborhood. We can watch each other's backs or just talk to each other for intertainment.

    Yes I did like the table idea Corey but gray or white whatever you're using it's not really working real well he should use a cloth over it like a red or some you know bright or an orange something like that it will work a lot better

    Pro's: with rechargable batteries, they're rechargable.
    Cons: They diont carry the MaH as a alkaline battery, you would spend alot of time recharging.

      If you buy decent ones they're about the same actually. Eneloop Pros have slightly higher capacity than energizer lithium.

      You're thinking volts, not amperage.

    so i have a question, in your opinion, which is the best gmrs handheld radio that isnt overly expensive since i want to get a 3-4 pack (also just got a new sub)

  • @damiion666
    @damiion666 Před rokem +1

    If I buy a second 2-pack, can all four communicate with each other as long as they’re set to the same channel? I have a family of 4

    • @CoryRandomGuy
      @CoryRandomGuy  Před rokem +1

      Yes all FRS radios no matter the brand can communicate with eachother so long as they are on the same channel. Do your shopping you might find better ones then those. Tidradio TD777 is a good FRS radio as well it even has scamble feature. I invite you to watch that video on the Tidradio TD 777 review.

    Can u be any more Yankee than to resort to ‘you guy’s’ (pronounced (apparently) ‘you guizez’) because english lacks a specific 2nd person plural pronoun, and adding a possessive case invites abominations like that … all because you don’t trust “your” to function as plural, OR you just can’t bring yourself to utter “y’all’s” (although it seems to work just fine here in Texas). Do as you wish … having the world witness your using “you guyzez” in your videos is its own punishment, I guess…
