    Thank you for the great info! Why do I have the feeling that you were the voice on some Air Force CBTs? Lol 73

    Is this radio better then the Quansheng UV-K6 UV-K5(8) ? What are your thoughts on the Quansheng radio?

    Better is hard to define. The K5 is cheap, works OK, and is a great tool if you're into using open source firmware. Can't think of another radio doing that. The K5 is also a ham radio, not GMRS. The GM21 is solid budget class GMRS HT. It is one of several models that fall into that category.

    I would never buy a radio that put out less than 4 watts. There are many better options out there.

    Most budget class HTs output 3-4 watts. Spend a bit more for either ham or GMRS and you get closer to 5. Cheers.
