Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Recently purchased the Hummer GMRS radios and noticed nobody had reviewed it. Hope this helps.
OVERALL APPEARANCE- very cool radios slightly larger than the mini models, but built like a Hummer actually. These radios feel and look sturdy with heavy rubber surfaces, very rugged unlike the plastic feel of many out there.
POWER & RANGE- the units operate at a selectable 0.5Watts or 3Watts- in a city with buildings and homes, I am getting up to a mile at low power, and several miles at high although I have not fully tested the distance. I do not think I will get 7 miles, but it appears that the range boasts of companies is more marketing than truth.
FEATURES- I compared this unit to the midland lxt410 and it has all of midlands features and more yet I noticed no one has posted the manual on the Web and the product descriptions do not show all the features. The Digital Compass is very helpful, and the VOX feature lets you talk hands free. The radios have auto squelch which is a mixed blessing. All weak signals cannot be heard unless you use the monitor feature.
FINAL THOUGHT- If you are buying radios like this for fun, save your money and use the cel phone. Within an hour of getting it, the pizazz factor was gone realizing these UHF channels are more of a pain than you would expect. I purchased the radios for personal security during a trip by a family member who will be out of cel range. However, if you have a Hummer (which I do not) I can imagine this being the perfect toy for that car. I see some of the pricing is up to $99, but I have to tell you that with the quality(especially physical appearance) of these radios, I can see someone paying that, which is a lot for me to say. I would also think these radios would make a fantastic gift because of that same reason. By the way, I am not associated with Hummer in any way, and these are my first radios.
