Emergency Preparedness

GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service)

In order to communicate within the community if the power (and Cellular/Internet) is out, you will need a GMRS radio. We have purchased 2 different models so far at both ends of the price spectrum.

This is the first high end & feature rich GMRS radio we purchased. The main feature we liked is the blue tooth connectivity to a mobile phone and/or a blue tooth headset. When connected to a mobile phone, the BTECH phone app can be used to control and program every aspect of the GMRS radio.

BIG BONUS, is the ability to do text messaging with this radio to another BTECH radio. NOTE: TXT messaging only works between two of these same radios and will not work with most GMRS radios. There may be more radios in the future that support Texting.

This GMRS radio it at the higher end of the purchase price range and about 2 to 3 times more than an average GMRS radio. We also like the fact that we don't have to register the phone app with a website.

Very budget friendly with lots of features. You can get this pair of radios for about the same cost as a dinner out. We decided to go with the set of radios due to:

These GMRS radios also have a FM and Weather radio built into them!
