About This Site
With so many different
FRS and GMRS radios on the market today, GMRS Reviews
provides you with a
simple, convenient method of comparing the various brands of
FRS and GMRS radios and
their available features.
Radio Reviews - You can't
test each FRS or GMRS radio brand and model to see how they
perform under typical conditions.
You could visit each manufacturer's web page and
note them individually or you could simply click the handy
comparison chart and check them out all at once.
Radio Testing - My reviews section provides the results of hands-on tests of the features you
want and need. I offer opinions of which radios
really deliver and which ones offer only basic services.
I test the maximum ranges that are advertised to
see if their claims are true.
Independent
- I am neither affiliated with any FRS/GMRS radio
manufacturer or distributor nor am I paid by any FRS/GMRS
radio manufacturers to plug any particular brand.
A Note on
Advertised Ranges
We don't
hold or rate GMRS radios to their advertised ranges. The
ranges stated on radio packages may be only remotely possible
in ideal conditions such as over water or atop a mountain.
If you want to use these
radios at the mall, at the game, or in other everyday
locations, you'll get much less than advertised. THIS IS
TRUE WITH ALL BRANDS OF RADIOS WE'VE USED. .
We prefer to hold radios to
real-world, less than ideal conditions. "GMRS Reviews" employs a
benchmark of 20% of advertised ranges. This means that a reviewed GMRS
radio should be able to meet this typical-use benchmark and if it meets
this benchmark, we give it full credit. Based on our
actual use testing, 20% is a much
closer approximation to real
world ranges you can expect.
