The BTECH GMRS-V2 is the first GMRS radio of its kind. It is the first GMRS radio to allow you to quickly add any GMRS channel to any memory location in a few button presses. Using the new GMRS ‘quick add’ option in Menu 43 (‘GCH-AD’) you can add another GMRS channel to any of the 200 channel locations.<\/p>\n

Here’s how that new menu works:<\/strong> First you select this new menu option (Menu 43<\/em>) and it will allow you to enter or scroll to any channel location on the radio (from 000-199). After you select the channel location you want to add a GMRS channel to – the next screen will show ‘GMRS_ _<\/em>‘. This is where you simply enter a channel from the standardized GMRS channel list (see below<\/em>) for the channel that you want added. For example, to add ‘REPT16’, we would enter the corresponding standardized GMRS channel which is ‘GMRS22’, and within a few button presses you have now just programmed an additional GMRS channel without having to hassle with any frequencies. If you need to use a tone for the channels, you can enter those tones on Menus 10-13 and have a new simplex or GMRS repeater channel programmed just like that!<\/p>\n

\nA bug in our first run GMRS-V2s
\n<\/strong><\/em>
\nAfter our initial run of GMRS-V2, we have identified a minor bug that prevents GMRS channels 1-7 from being toggled from narrowband to wideband. This bug only affects these channels if they are placed in the memory locations of 001-007 on the radio. The bug has two quick workarounds.<\/span>\u00a0The first workaround is using a PC03 programming cable<\/a>\u00a0and our free programming software<\/a> to toggle the bandwidth of those memories. The second workaround is using Menu 43 (see above<\/em>) to enter those GMRS channels (1-7) in any other memory spot besides 001-007.<\/p>\n

We want to make it right!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Once we learned about this bug, we have slashed the GMRS-V2 price by $20 to liquidate the current affected inventory, before resuming our normal MSRP price of $69.89, but what happens if you have a GMRS-V2 that was affected and you paid full MSRP?<\/p>\n

We want to offer three options to make this right so that you can fully enjoy your GMRS-V2:
\nOption #1: BTECH will refund $20 to your original order
\nOption #2: BTECH will exchange your GMRS-V2 with an updated GMRS-V2 – all shipping costs would be covered
\nOption #3: BTECH will send you a free PC03 programming cable<\/p>\n

If you received the GMRS-V2 at a discounted price but were unaware of the issue, we still want to extend an apology to you:
\nOption #1: BTECH will exchange your GMRS-V2 with an updated GMRS-V2 – shipping costs would be billed
\nOption #2: BTECH will send you a PC03 programming cable at half price.<\/p>\n

We take pride in our reputation and providing the customer with what they expect to receive. If you have an effected radio, please reach out to us by emailing \u00a0‘support@baofengtech.com’.<\/p>\n
