BaoFeng GM - 15 Pro GMRS HT

[@jaubrey7257]

I recently purchased (2) GM-15 Pros and installed the Nagoya NA-771G on both. Achieved 6 miles of clear reception / transmission. Located in Central Florida moderately hilly, trees from backyard to a point 6 miles as the crow flies. Very pleased. Thanks for the video.

[@h4santos]

Hi. I live in Central Florida and looking for a good GMRS radio that me and my wife can use. Your 6 miles transmission, is it simplex handheld to handheld radio transmission? I'm thinking of a base station and a mobile in with an 11-mile distance and if your 6 mile is HT to HT, I think my goal can be easily achieved (fingers-crossed).

[@shaunteckno]

For this radio, can you go to channel 30, for example, by pressing the channel button, and then program the tones into the radio? I guess I’m not sure how this radio works, (for example), if you can only go to channels one through 22, but then you have to program the repeater channels into it? This may seem like an obvious question, but I’m visually impaired, I cannot see the screen. The radio is actually on sale for $20, for prime day. Thanks for any assistance.

[@GadgetTalk4U]

You can add CTCSS or DSC codes to either or both transmit or receive by channel as you described. GMRS radios have channels 23 through 30 as repeater channels so there is no need to figure offsets. Just remember TX is the code your radio sends out, RX is for what your radio receives. When dealing with repeaters, folks sometimes mix those up. Cheers.

[@321CatboxWA]

[@thunderbear0]

What's the difference between baofeng GM15 pro and baofeng GMRS 9R Kinda confused which to pick im new to this so no idea which do what all i know is they are gmrs

[@GadgetTalk4U]

Two primary differences. GM15 has more programmable receive only channels and 9R has a waterproof rating. The 9R will require a different programming cable and can't use most accessories like hand mics or wired ear pieces since it has a different, waterproof connector on the side. If you're just starting out and don't spend time in the rain, I'd go with the GM 15 instead. Radioddity GM 30 is also a good choice at this price point.

[@thunderbear0]

I followed along and tried to setup my ht like you did, but it shows channel 1 as 435.08500 it doesn't have the gmrs frequencies in it like the computer shows

[@GadgetTalk4U]

Are you sure you're not in VFO mode? A long press on the menu key (top left) switches between the two modes. If you have the voice prompt on, the radio will announce "channel mode" or "frequency mode." With a GMRS radio the channels are locked so you shouldn't see anything but the GMRS frequencies in channel mode - channels 1 - 30. and the DIY reserved channels. If that doesn't work, contact your seller. Maybe the thing's broke.

[@OttoACasal]

Thanks for the information posted on the BaoFeng HT radios. I recently purchased the GM-15Pro, I downloaded the programmer software Prodioddity GM30. After installing the UART driver for the communication cable, it was an old driver but seems to be working on my Windows-11, when I launch the Radioddity program and load the radio information I don't seem to be able to expand any of the channel table columns and width, everything comes up collapsed on the display. Has anyone have had this problem? I can click and see the channel information screen just fine; this is the GUI box that pops up and I am able to set the settings with no problem. It is just how the channel table matrix being on the computer screen that it is collapse. Like in an Excel table one can pick a side and expand the height or width of the columns/rows not on this application though. Any suggestions?

In some cases, the CPS and firmware have to match. I noticed on the Radioddity web site downloads page that there are several firmware and software choices for the GM-30. Check you firmware by turning off the radio, press the button below the PTT and hold it while turning on the radio. The firmware number will display for a couple of seconds. Write it down. You may have to do this a couple of times to get all the numbers right. Mine showed 06.03.006. On the download page I'd get the 210615 version that lists 06.03.006 as the matching firmware. When I tried downloading it, it downloaded just fine - for me. Let me know if I missed the point of your question.

The one odd behavior that I've found on this radio relates to charging. When you plug in the charger to the USB port, the radio stops receiving. You can plug in and charge your cell phone while using it; but not this radio. Unhandy, but not a deal-breaker. Just plan ahead.

Quite a radio for $30 Again I will ask on usb charge plug. How does a 5 volt cell charger charge a 7.4 vdc battery. Unfortunatly no community repeaters up on a tower so no repeaters in SW PA . So gmrs is only good for simplex which all stores are using outputs and you can't enjoy gmrs repeaters anyways.

Duane, If your goal is to chat with others in the area, consider getting your technician ham license. About 30 to 40 hours study with free online study tools and you'll be good to go.

@@GadgetTalk4U but you can't modify the frequency you can't get rid of the frequency they allready have in it. You can't put ham frequency in and modify. O well I'll send back to China. Get a different one

OK. I understand. For GMRS radios sold in the US, all transmit frequencies are locked to the GMRS channels. Even newer ham radios are range locked nowadays.

You can program it with Radioity as a gm-30
