hopefully they will come out with a 45 watt with the controls on the handset, that is the only reason I haven't upgraded to the 45 watt from the 15 watt. I really like the controls on the hand set. My kids give me a hard time and make fun of me but our whole family has GRMS radios in their vehicles and I always have a few hand helds to share. It makes traveling so much better.

This would post the day my midland shows up. Love my ham radio, but GMRS for the masses is the way to go. One day the FCC will do away with type certification or allow multiple certifications so you can talk on all the bands (with appropriate licensing of course) with only 1 radio installation.

Would be super nice but I have to say it's hard to beat HAM communication. KT4RCH Personally seems annoying to have to pay for each license you would think that since you have to take a test for HAM and you don't for GMRS that you should be covered. Oh well though it is what it is they want their money lol.

Ok, I must have missed it in your gear review videos. I've just noticed in your adventure videos that you don't use one, and I've always been curious why. I just started making videos a few months ago, and that was one of the first things I bought was a lav mic and voice recorder. It just makes such a difference. They're a pain for sure, and I wish dinnertime would make a mic with the cable designed to go inside your shirt, but... All the same, keep up the good work, we enjoy your videos, I don't miss any of them.

2:00 Oh you're looking for the FCC? This is the FAA we handle aircraft. FCC is the second office on the left after the FBI. If you reach CIA you've gone too far. I think for the general public, GMRS is now the way to go. Although highly cost-prohibitive, satellite radio hands down is the way to go if you absolutely HAVE TO reach someone in an emergency. For example, it's a backup in an aircraft in the event I lose all coms and need to communicate with air traffic control or god forbid I crash land and have to call for help.

Well, if that wasn’t the easiest “install” ever. No notes on wire or cable gauge/ length, or voltage points. Just adhere a magnet, and you’re done. … I’m disputing the use of “install” in the title, as opposed to “modification” or adaptive “product review.” 🙃

Rugged will not talk to Midland or Baofeng, ect. Yes, it's GMRS, but its Rugged GMRS. Someone please tell me that I'm wrong or provide proof otherwise? I've seen it with my own two eyes :/
