The GMRS-V1 is FCC certified (Part 95A) for use on GMRS frequencies. The GMRS-V1 is also FCC certified for VHF/UHF scanning capabilities (Part 15B)
The GMRS-V1 is easy and straight forward to use. The GMRS-V1 comes with GMRS two-way and GMRS repeater channels pre-programmed. You can easily modify the GMRS-V1 to transmit a Privacy tone, right from the radio menu. You can even require a privacy tone for incoming transmissions. You can mix and match tones for repeater usage. The GMRS-V1 will save any modification to the channel (even during a reboot) and will remember any channel change you apply in any mode.
Want to communicate with other GMRS users with other brand GMRS radios? There is no guesswork involved anymore between brands. The GMRS-V1 can work with any GMRS radio – and has every single privacy tone option available (more than any other GMRS radio). Even if other users don’t know which privacy tone is being used on their GMRS radio; you are able to scan for which tone is being used. This ensures easy compatibility with all brands.
GMRS frequencies and offsets cannot be altered to allow peace of mind while using your GMRS-V1. Want to start from scratch? A simple reset menu option resets the GMRS-V1 to the GMRS-V1 defaults.
*** GMRS license required, easy to obtain (SAME DAY). The GMRS-V1 operates on GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) frequencies, which require an FCC (Federal Communications Commission) license. You must be licensed prior to transmitting.

GMRS network user I’m licensed for GMRS and purchased 2. I wrote a review but am now editing it. I had thought the FCC had pulled the certification for these radios but I guess I am wrong. I’ll update my review after using these. They appear to be good quality out of the box.Update 2/2017: have been using these radios on a licensed gmrs network with repeater, mobiles, and these portables. Been working great. Great distance and quality. No failures nor problems. It’s very nice to have a part 95 approved…
Amazing GMRS radios for the price! I am a licensed ham radio operator and have a GMRS license, and these little radios are incredible for GMRS use! They easily outperform the GMRS/FRS type radios you get in stores. Build quality is good, battery life has been great so far, and setup and ease of use is great. It comes set up with all the GMRS channels and has a really good range, particularly in the high power mode. One of my two radios has the screw hole drilled slightly crooked for the belt clip, but it still attaches very…
Good value, type 95A approved, hardware shared with UV82c – with quirks. TLDR: The only available choice to have a good quality GMRS type-approved transceiver at a good cost as of today.This radio is based on UV-82c hardware (which is type 90 certified equipment) and therefore specs and behavior in terms of selectively, noise floor and DTC/CTCSS rejection are the same. No need to repeat here – it behaves exactly as my other UV82c. However, there are some quirks, bugs, and amusing facts — on which I’ll focus for this review.In my quest to…
