Can you make a video PMR vs FRS, just for fun?

[@WSCD.-.-.-]

Something that I find quite refreshing is the type of organic balance in the comments. The “some people” comment on your video and the comments of the Happy Followers of The Queen. …my stubble that grows while expecting intelligence is quite sexy, if I may say so myself. The Queen’s people get as much of a laugh from “some people” taunting them as they do from your Majesty’s vignettes. They enjoy feigning “the smartest one in the room” act, and we are strong enough to handle the pebble throwing. It is a beautiful dynamic. ❤👍🏽

[@y28w9D]

Maybe I'm just getting old but these days I can't imagine having to deal with all sorts of cables, docks, and chargers and not just having USB-C.

[@KA7EII]

Thank you for the great review. I'm going with the Rocky Talkie because it looks like the best simple to use GMRS radio for my geocaching and rock collecting adventures. It even has my name on it! The USB C charging port is also a nice feature along with the ability to use an external antenna while in a vehicle. Just hope the 9 people on the monitor behind you will approve of my decision to get the Rocky Talkie.

Awesome video Randy.

[@jmiskinis]

Thank You for publishing another video. I enjoyed the last one, and I kind of like the idea or concept of the 2-watt mountain version, that does not require a license of any kind. Some folks seem to enjoy calling "licenses" "the king's seals". Anyway, I have just begun to watch the video, and I wanted to post my initial thoughts. _John_ (-,-)

[@jmiskinis]

Ah, the term "permission slip" that you used in the video, is also very appropriate and fitting as well. Maybe those permission slips. or applications, would fit up and fill their mail slots? I remember your video quite well, when you covered that the fees are collected in order to fund the fee collection efforts. :) _John_ (-.-)

[@Cory14Tina02]

I see you're showing off an image of SCOTUS in the background. I'm curious if there was a recent ruling which prompted this decision.

[@Adamdaj]

I'm sure that both radios will perform just fine depending on the type of activity the users plan to use them for. However, I do think the Midland GXT 67PRO would be more favorable from its housing and with the name Midland, you know you're dealing with well-known Radio Manufacture that has a good reputation in the 11m/CB / Part 95D territory. The Rocky Talkie looks like a shoulder speaker/mic with antenna, instead of the actual radio.

[@WillieJu]

Love your, uhm, shoes sir 😎

[@bigjack428]

I'm just leaving a stupid comment to qualify as engagement. Nice video.

[@Redshirt1750]

Randy Thank you for all the tests that you perform on the radios. But. You continue to forget to do an important test. I want to know which one would make my butt look big while wearing it on my belt. The “big butt” test is a deal breaker for which radio to purchase for many people.

[@wantafastz28]

It’s important to identify it is a fully automatic trigger and not semi auto.

[@cowboy6591]

Question; Is the Midland a super hetrodyne radio? If so I would be tempted.

[@TheNotaRubicon]

As mentioned in my full-review video of the Midland, yes, it is. BUT - if this is what matters to you in an adventure radio, then it is probably not the radio for you.

[@jamieb9556]

That Midland sounded piss poor😅

[@SilentPrepperFL]

I think that all radios should have a type c charging port instead of those huge charging cradle... Most of the new radios are including type c. Makes me wonder why Midland choses not to add a type c charger. I am to the point that I always look for radios that have type c charging.

[@RKingis]

Because, Midland sells to most people who don't care about that kind of stuff.

[@DinsDale-tx4br]

8:25 oh My Gawd!!!! Hahahahaha :-) Lucky you didn't hit a log down there. 9:48 When you say the battery 'sucks' the rocky talkie looks awfully sad :-( 14:10 No square edges means it's better for stealth covert operations, shame about its bleep though, almost as bad as Roger who screwed a few opps when folk were trying to be quiet and some dork whispered 10 -4 only for the bloody thing to give out a sodding great ding! Pst: Does Your FCC membership badge have a Holokote on it? Good conclusion. Mine would depend on whether I could override Midland's automatic power level reduction .... I would prefer not to be duped over my Fars' when operational (stuck up a tree miles from nowhere thinking my signal is getting through and waiting to make the run through the critters to my truck for charging until i really have to.
