(Not How This Works... #9)

Think you scored a deal on a "GMRS Scanner Radio"? (Spoiler: You didn’t.) In this video, I dig into a radio that was hacked from Ham Radio into GMRS and scanner duty — and it fails at both. From painfully slow scanning to weak power output (only ~16W on GMRS), this radio shows why not every rig should be modded. ⚡ What you’ll see in this video: • How the radio was reprogrammed for GMRS & scanning • Why it doesn’t belong on GMRS (wrong filters, poor performance) • My real-world test results on power output and scan speed • Why the previous owner probably returned it 👉 Email/Discord Me For Details On Radios I Have For Sale! 👉 Get A New Radio Instead: https://geni.us/fz4da42 Test Gear 👉 Power Meter: https://geni.us/ZKuIme 👉 Coax Jumpers: https://geni.us/AnDVyG 👉 Dummy Load: https://geni.us/YlnRyc Before you grab a used radio that promises to do everything, watch this. It might save you time, frustration, and cash.
