Introducing the BTECH GMRS-50PRO: 50 Watts of Smart, Rugged GMRS Power

Wednesday,  April 23, 2025

ARLINGTON, SD – BTECH proudly announces the arrival of the GMRS-50PRO, a 50-watt, IP54-weatherproof base/mobile radio that marries smartphone-style intelligence with the brute strength radio professionals demand. Packed with cable-free Bluetooth programming, on-board GPS navigation, and automatic NOAA weather alerts, the GMRS-50PRO is purpose-built for the real-world challenges faced by overlanders pushing remote trails, ranchers coordinating sprawling acreage, emergency crews staging storm response, and families who simply can’t afford dead air when it matters most. By fusing pro-grade RF power with app-level control and all-weather durability, the GMRS-50PRO doesn’t just raise the bar for General Mobile Radio Service—it rewrites the playbook on what dependable communication looks like in 2025.

Power That Goes the Extra Mile

With three selectable power levels—5 W, 25 W, and a full 50 W*—the GMRS-50PRO punches through terrain and urban clutter alike. Whether you’re coordinating a trail run or calling the homestead from the workshop, you’ll reach farther and sound clearer. (*Channels 1-7 are limited to 5 W, and channels 8-14 are RX-only to stay FCC-compliant.)

Cable-Free Control, App-Level Ease

Pair the radio with the free BTECH GMRS Programmer app (iOS & Android) and edit channels, tones, scan lists—even push firmware updates—straight from your phone. Clone an entire setup to the rest of your team in seconds—no laptop, no cables, no downtime.

Bluetooth Audio Four Ways

1. Hands-Free VOX: Pair any HFP headset, enable VOX, and talk completely hands-free.

2. Headset + BS-PTT: Use your favorite headset and trigger PTT with the wireless BS-PTT button.

3. Headset + Radio Mic: Hear in the headset, transmit from the front-panel mic—perfect for loud cabs.

4. BS-22 Speaker Mic: Grab the dedicated BS-22 Bluetooth speaker-mic for the ultimate grab-and-go rig.

Built-In GPS & On-Screen Navigation

Keep convoys tight and trail groups oriented with real-time compass, speed, and altitude readouts. 

Weatherproof, Road-Proof

A milled-alloy chassis, gasket-sealed controls, and an IP54 rating mean the GMRS-50PRO shrugs off dust, splashes, and driving rain. When Mother Nature gets dramatic, NOAA SAME alerts cut through the static automatically.

Scan, Sync, and Share

• Wideband Scanner: Listen across VHF, UHF, NOAA, aviation AM, or FM broadcast while you’re still on GMRS.

• Instant Channel Sync: Beam your full channel list to another GMRS-PRO-series radio in seconds—ideal for events and search-and-rescue deployments.

• Network Groups: Use the BTECH app to create cloud-linked groups that stay connected even when you’re out of RF range.

Power Hub on Your Dash

A side-mounted USB-A (5 V/2 A) port keeps phones, action cams, or flashlights topped up, turning the GMRS-50PRO into a tiny power station.

Ready to Install, Ready to Roll

Everything you need—mounting bracket, fused power lead, hardware, color TFT speaker-mic, and quick-start guide—is in the box for a 30-minute install. Add our UT-72G mag-mount antenna and watch 50 W of RF energy blanket the backcountry.
