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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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'm a radio dork and outdoor enthusiast. I own a Rocky Talkie 5W radio and love it. I also love my other dorky radios. I wanted a radio that I could use whitewater kayaking and the RT is great for that. I use it for dirt biking too. You didn't mention that the audio output from the RT 5W is outstanding, super loud. Perfect for a noisy environment.

    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!

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

    I have the 5 watt model that i mainly use while mountain biking. I love it for that activity. The metal clip can be rotated 90° which is great for backpack strap. Ive used it to transmit and receive very clearly for over 15 miles from the Sunset Peak motorway over the San Gabriel valley. Its great for that use case.

    Love your channel! I’m a newbie to gmrs. We just experienced no power and no communications for nearly a week after hurricane Beryl, and we are buying GMRS radios. Would you recommend this 5watt radio or the Wouxon KG-905G? The radio must be simple to use and cover about 2 miles in an urban environment with tall trees. (I assume we will need the Nagoya 771G 15inch antenna) Thoughts?
  • @garretlewis4103
    Thanks for the review. I have been looking for a more rugged GMRS radio. I do like the fact these are simple to use. I do wish they were cheaper, but in the big scheme of radios, it isn’t too bad. Now on to a little more research on the Rocky Talkie website.
  • @Sonicgott
    A great option for families going camping, traveling, hiking, visiting parks, or any General outdoor activities. Good lookin’ radios. Nice reviews as always, Randy. You’re a champion. ❤
