GMR5-X 5W GMRS Handheld Radio, Waterproof with XL Battery
Description
The Rugged Radios GMR5-X is a waterproof 5 watt GMRS handheld radio with an IP67 rating and a 3600 mAh XL battery, almost twice the battery size of the GMR5. This GMR5 waterproof handheld radio is built for mud, rain, snow and long days off grid, with more range potential and dependable connection far past cell coverage.
It pairs over Bluetooth with the Rugged BT2, RW-H52 and RW-H32, and VOX lets you talk without pressing the push-to-talk button. Noise cancellation cleans up your voice, and weather alerts keep you informed.
