In this video I review and compare the Rocky Talkie Mountain Radio and the Rocky Talkie "5-Watt Radio". I compare the differences between these to very high quality and very rugged radios and I go over some of the negatives of both of these walkie-talkie radios.

Nice review and great humor! But one spec was not mentioned. Does Rocky Talkie's 5-watt GMRS model transmit at the full 20 kHz bandwidth of GMRS on those channels which the FCC allows? Or does this model only transmit at the narrow 12.5 kHz bandwidth? (Some "GMRS" radios like my Midland GXT1050VP4 only use the narrow 12.5 kHz.) I checked the Rocky Talkie website and they say nothing about the bandwidth of their 5-watt GMRS radio.

Holy Cow.... A new Pencil! Congrats!!

For all intensive porpoises I pacifically enjoy your explanation of "fars". It starts right off the ball and is worth all the monies I paid for this video.

NotaRubicon; Still the best!

For handhelds I have the Wouxun KG-805G, KG-UV9G Pro and the Rocky Talkie GMRS. The Rocky Talkie turned out to be my favorite of my handhelds.

Running into an ad for these radios is what ultimately got me into GMRS in December and HAM radio in April. Great marketing and I’m still tempted here and there to grab one. Great video!

Great Review Randy. I like the simplicity of operation. No unneeded bells or whistles. Rugged construction is a plus. Yes, you can get $20 bowfangs but if you really need to count on them will they work in the long run? You spend 40K+ on your 4X4, 2K+ on your backpacking equipment, etc. and then rely on $20 radio? Of course everyone can make a choice.

I like both the FRS and GMRS models, and I can see the appeal for simplicity and ruggedness Me personally though, I can’t see myself paying that much for only 5 watts AND channelized frequencies Good stuff though!

Notarubicon 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 thanx for this review I asked for this a couple a months ago !! I greatly appreciate it !!!!

I have a rocky-talkie gmrs radio. I really like it. Throw a roll up SlimJim connected to some decent coax over a high tree limb and you can get much more distance. The battery lasts a really long time, I like the super ruggedness. I like that it is repeater capable. And I like that it has NOAA weather Radio. I'm glad I bought one.

Love your videos. Love all your radios in the background, it's like the Matrix with the lights on and blinking transmission (not broadcasting) lights :)

I miss the previous production style of your videos with the music. It fit your sense of humor perfectly!
