Rocky Talkie Waterproof Radio - Review

[@BaumgartnerRanch]

*Picked up a set last week for my OK, CO, WY, MT trip this week.* I maintain the practice of acquiring good equipment and these fit that status. A bit in the higher price range ($520.00 by the time I got the Accessories I wanted) but worth the experience. I'll let you know our experience following the trip... And add the $35.00 for the FCC Licence.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Right on! Keep me posted!

Great review Pete. Thanks for sharing as always. These can definitely be handy. They maybe on my list for the future to have a set on me. Will be great for large groups to help communicate.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks brother! they are great!!

Could have used these on the current river on memorial weekend. Had a very similar story to the last time the river kings were out there and needed run for high ground

[@RiverKingsKayak]

I hear ya!

[@garycousino]

Pretty high tech paddling. Did big Dan go on that trip?

[@RiverKingsKayak]

He did! The radios make things so much better/safer.

[@jam7547]

i will look specs tomorrow.. hopefully it to a gmrs radio ..

[@jam7547]

by the way. when you was on French Board you was only 7; miles or so away from me

[@riverkingbrian9264]

It is a GMRS radio

[@jam7547]

I Carry the an cobra submersible HH 450.daul band. it has marine band and gmrs. unsure if sold any longer

[@RiverKingsKayak]

right on!

[@KMLifeadventure]

Why do you need a license? Does it have to do with rescue situations?

[@jam7547]

all gmrs radios require .. one license good for 5 units. .. gmrs also makes models for mobile and house and most mobile units and house units can be set al to repeater mode

[@tomsander5350]

GMRS runs on higher wattage and frequencies. You apply for a GMRS license and pay $70 for a 10-year license. It's regulated by the FCC. You'll get a call sign from the FCC.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

the capabilities are so much greater, so with that comes a little more responsibility.

[@rockytalkie1682]

@@RiverKingsKayak Very succinct way of putting it River Kings! While the frequencies are shared with license-free FRS radios, you do get increased power limits and access to GMRS repeaters. The license fee recently reduced to $35, is good for 10 years and covers your entire family no matter how many radios you might have! -Nate Rocky Talkie Team

Love the product review. As a new viewer, it would help to give a little more transparency to how you got it before the review or comments accusing paid reviews.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Hey Andre! If you watch the video, specifically min mark 1:10, you will find that I gave an exact account of how I got the radio and what was expected of me. I also gave this account before I reviewed the product. Not sure how you missed it.

[@andreflores4580]

I saw the whole video and I don't know how I missed that, sorry! Working around water all day, this sounds like what I'm looking for. Thanks! ​@@RiverKingsKayak

[@RiverKingsKayak]

@@andreflores4580 No worries Andre!! I actually went back to watch it wondering if I left it out! LOL.

Good deal!

You can talk to your buddy Wade now on your next trip together : kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5iVcqusopyMpac 😆 Rolling Practice Sessions @ The River Kings World Wide Headquarter incoming !!! 😎

[@RiverKingsKayak]

For sure!!

[@MVP1957]

Love your channel and I’ve learned a bunch about kayak camping from your videos. Not familiar with these radios but the features and simplicity sound great. I own several GMRS HT radios and have been using them kayak fishing with my family & friends for quite a while. GMRS is hands down the way to communicate between vessels on the water. Great range and why risk losing an $800 cell phone. No special radio lingo required. Just get a license and be polite and respectful.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Indeed! they are a wonderful tool.

[@WVWes]

add it to this list. lol

[@RiverKingsKayak]

they are so good!

[@roryd2339]

Not honest review, u where paid for this review

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Sorry roryd2339, you are simply wrong. If I do not like a product, I will return it without a review. Have done so many times. They sent me the product, and I did the review. Other than receiving a product to test and review, I was not paid in any way. I like the product and use these radios on all my trips now. They are a game changer for me. Thanks for watching.
