Another use for all of those memories is to store the setup for multiple repeaters. If you live in, or travel to, an area with multiple repeaters on the same frequency they will often use different tones. Just push each into a memory, label it, and just pick that channel to use the repeater.

I just ordered the 805G this afternoon...would have bought the 905G, but it was sold out, along with the 9Pro... Only watched about 4 minutes of the video so far, So I hope I'm not disappointed That I didn't wait till the 905 was back in stock....Now, on with the video..So I've edited this after watching the video. I, for me, made the right decision on getting the 805. Biggest reason, and I had not seen this in comparison detail before. The 805 Display is MUCH easier to read, especially at a glance. Many times when you held up both radios, the 905 display looked like it was turned off, and the 805 was almost like glowing....Maybe just the result of video and not true in person, I don't know for sure. As I mentioned in another one of your videos, I was holding off on the price drop on the License, but I just went ahead and bit the bullet today after ordering the 805. Did 2 day shipping from Buy 2way radios, so I will hopefully have my call sign, and radio about the same time....Thanks for a Good review.

@NotaRubicon Productions I haven't seen this addressed elsewhere so I will bring it to the Jedi Master, once again. I have the KG-905's and am generally pleased with them. I could stand for more receive audio and it has been explained to me that the audio is dampened just a bit by the 905's waterproofing, which makes sense. I have never had an 805. Being that the 805 has a lower level of waterproofing (as I understand it), does the 805 have noticeably louder receive audio than the 905? The reason I ask this is I am trying to encourage an old friend and his wife to get into GMRS. His hearing is worse than mine, which is pretty bad. If the 805 is noticeably louder, I will try to nudge him towards that radio. If little or no difference, then I will push the 905 as it is a good radio and I have everything needed to program it already. As always, many thanks for your help!

Just paid the FCC fee (I don't think I could have navigated that website on my own) - so I'm going on the back-order list on this one. I'm thinking of the 905G for my second unit (?), as it has the same battery and same charger as the 935G... It also appears to have a little better protection than the 805G - anybody's thoughts on this setup (935G & 905G)?

Antenna question: Why do you always have the antennas off before showing us your 805 and 905? Are they really ugly and you are afraid if we see them it will discourage us from buying them? j/k Also, the 905 is pictured with a rather thick (for UHF) antenna on the BTWR site. I notice they offer that antenna as a replacement and what looks like a traditional quarter-wave duck for the 905. Have you tried both, and if so, does one seem to give better range than the other?
