What it is
The serious GMRS handheld: all 15 high-power simplex channels, the 8 low-power ones and all 8 repeater channels at up to 5.5 watts with no programming, dual receive on UHF and VHF, NOAA weather with alerts in standby and scan, 999 programmable channels with CTCSS and DCS tones and tone scan to match a group's existing radios. The radio in the no-cell, no-internet comms guide.
What it is
The GMRS handheld for the person in the family who becomes the radio person
This is the GMRS pick in my Faraday electronics kit: up to 5.5 watts on every GMRS channel, a removable antenna so you can add a better one, weather alerts, and repeater capability, which is how a handheld reaches across a county. My no cell, no internet page covers the license and the family plan; the radio shop sells it as a single or a two-radio pack.
What it adds over the simple radios
Scanning, a broadcast receiver and every repeater feature
Why it matters
The Rocky Talkies are channel up, channel down and push to talk, which is right for most of the family. One person needs more: a scanner to find who is talking, an FM receiver for the news when the towers are down, and every repeater setting you'll ever use. That person gets this one, and a spare antenna in the case.
