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
-
Hands-Free VOX: Pair any HFP headset, enable VOX, and talk completely hands-free.
-
Headset + BS-PTT: Use your favorite headset and trigger PTT with the wireless BS-PTT button.
-
Headset + Radio Mic: Hear in the headset, transmit from the front-panel mic—perfect for loud cabs.
-
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.
The Future Is Now
From Bluetooth programming to GPS navigation, the GMRS-50PRO is built to evolve with free firmware updates delivered right from your phone. Don’t settle for five-year-old tech in a new box—get the radio that grows with you.
The GMRS-50PRO is available today for $284.89 on our website and through authorized distributors. Elevate your GMRS setup and experience pro-grade communication with one radio that does it all.

Waiting for the ham version…..
do you have any of these available in arlington sd … we would love to come over and get one asap if you do as we are going on a trip to the hills and would love to try them out
We are sold out in the full US – keep an eye out for a stock drop late June
Just got mine – nice radio! I’d like to mount it under the rear seats but would like to extend the 8-pin mic cord a few feet with a straight cable. Does anyone know where to get such an animal?
Do you have an extension cable for the microphone? This would be to mount the radio box out of view, in a vehicle>
