You are absolutely right. No radio should rely on a computer to set it up or use it.

On a more serious note about the GPS location beacon feature, I wonder how many different incompatible standards exist. It seems like it wouldn't be especially useful if feature is manufacturer-specific even given the proliferation of radios based on common designs. I'd want the Garmin unit and the Radioddity unit and any others with GPS to all interoperate. I can't control what radios other four wheelers have equipped themselves with even if I can control what my own family uses.

My only reason for not buying these are that they actually don't use GPS satellites from America and Garmin standards they are using the JUNK glassnoss Russian sats and I wouldn't trust it PERIOD!!!!!!!!! Don't be fooled.

In the settings go to backlight and set it to 20 it will give you more time while programming channels

No customizable roger-beeps? I'm still waiting for a model that lets me upload my own .wav files for the roger-beep. That way my roger-beep can be the Wilhelm Scream.

Nice set GMRS radios. Just a few things that a firmware update can fix. Poger LOL . I got a HT that the on button is NO . Starting to see GPS more often in HT radios now . Well the plus had a sex change as well. That why I buy both antennas' . SMA- F and M . The ch 7 to 14 are the FRS only CH on GMRS . 73

Just Got to leave this knowledge here for all to KNOW that the gps unit is not a Garmin standard and uses Russian gps, so if useful gps and location is actuality important to you skip theses radio's. 😮
