While this thing will pull in GMRS and a bunch of other stuff, it goes into ham freqs too. So be careful?
AR-152. Catchy name, hunh? Around $75
BTW: I listen to that guy at x1.5 speed and he almost sounds human.

Claiming 12,000 mha battery? Amazing and awesome, if true.
10 watts for an HT is useless, unless you're transmitting out of a slim jim up a pole, as that much wattage going out near your head is not good. 5 watts max for that.
Looks heavier than it should be, for what it is.
Versions I'm seeing claim to be FCC certified, so locked into 140-144 & 420-450, which would blow ass.
Not watching fucktards' yootoob vidyas on stuff like this.
ETA: also no encryption is lame.

Good points. However
There are unlockable modes that extend frequencies

Big battery means weight.

I've always wanted to ask this question and since this is under 'Prepper's Paradise' I figure it fits.
You guys asking about GMRS radios and also Ham radios. Are you going for the legal, by the book licensing stuff or are any of these radio's you're looking at going to be for the "off grid, SHTF" moments?
If it's the later, then

Well I can say that, anyone who just buys these and throws them on the shelf, with the expectation of using them in real, "SHTF" emergency scenarios where legalities go out the window, is just kidding themselves.
That's EXACTLY like buying a rifle, or pistol, and throwing it in the safe, planning to go all Chuck Norris when the time comes.
No training, no practice = FAIL. You gotta know how these things work, and what their capabilities and limitations are, and the only way to do that is to get on the air, and talk with others,alot, and those others won't give you the time of day if you're not licensed.
As far as type-accepted radios for GMRS, ham, etc., nobody gives a shit. The best radios to have are the ones that do both and then some.

You're right. I just wanted to see that in print.

^This.
If you plan to practice/train effectively now, then obtaining the licenses just makes sense, IMHO. Is it absolutely necessary? Of course not. But I don't see a compelling reason not to.
And I agree, why limit yourself by getting limited-band radios when you can have one that will cover the majority? In an emergency, more frequency options is always better.
