5W 15 Channel 2-Way GMRS Radio

Your RadioShack 5W Compact GMRS 
Handheld Transceiver is a portable, 
two-way, General Mobile Radio 
Service (GMRS) transceiver that you 
can carry almost anywhere. It meets 
commercial-grade standards for clear 
and reliable communication. The 
transceiver has fifteen operation 
channels — seven GMRS channels, 
one emergency channel, seven 
interstitial channels, and ten weather 
channels with alert.

38 Quiet-Tone CTCSS (Continuous 
Tone Control Squelch System) —
 
helps reduce interference from other 
systems in the area operating on the 
same frequency.

Built-in Modulation Limiter Circuit 
 automatically adjusts for a wide 
range of voice levels to ensure an 
effective transmission.

High/Low Power — saves power by 
choosing a suitable transmitting power 
for different ranges.

Flexible Antenna with BNC 
Connector —
 provides excellent 
reception and is easy to attach and 
remove, so you can use an external 
antenna to extend the range and 
performance. 

Splash Proof (JIS Level 4) — offers 
water resistance.
