In a follow-up to my previous post on the spectral purity of several transmitters, I decided to bench test the newer BTECH GMRS-V1.
The BTECH GMRS-V1 is basically a UV-82 rebranded and with software to lock down the HT so that its Part 95a compliant (such as you can not change the front control to VFO mode like on other Baofeng / BTECH radios).
It has an FCC ID of 2AGND-GMRS-V1. If you are interested in all the FCC details take a look here: https://fccid.io/2AGND-GMRS-V1
Overall, it looks to be a decent radio as I've used the UV-82's for sometime now and they are a better design than the older UV-5R.
Please note the SA output for this radio on one of the GMRS channels:
As you can see, this radio is much cleaner then the UV-5R and would be expected to be such for Part95 operation.
All the UV-82 accessories work on this radio too.
To date, the BTECH GMRS-V1 is probably the most cost effective GMRS repeater ready radio as it also provides VHF/UHF scanning/RX mode of the range of a typical UV-82. As I use this radio more, I'll post updates.
