Maker's claims vs FCC filing

Maker says

"True 50W GMRS radio" source

FCC filing shows

35.4 W ERP (462 main), 34.44 W ERP (467 main) grant

Our read

The grant lists ERP with the test antenna, so it isn't directly comparable to a 50 W conducted rating. It's the lowest filed ERP of BTECH's three 50 W mobiles here (GMRS-50V2 44.87 W, GMRS-50X1 42.56 W). Each grant measured with its own test antenna.

On NWS "All Hazards" logo list?: Not listed NWS listchecked 2026-10-21

"Not listed" means this model isn't on the NWS list of radios approved for the NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards logo. It doesn't mean the radio can't receive weather broadcasts. The maker pages we checked don't say whether alerts use SAME county codes. See the weather radio guide.

Common questions

Is the BTECH GMRS-50PRO legal to use on GMRS?

Yes, as certified equipment: FCC ID 2AGND-GMRS-50PRO was granted on March 28, 2024 with GMRS (Part 95 Subpart E) transmit rows. Check that the label on your unit shows this FCC ID, and note that you still need an FCC GMRS license to transmit.

How many watts is the BTECH GMRS-50PRO?

The FCC grant lists 35.4 W ERP on the 462 MHz main channels and 34.44 W on the 467 MHz main channels used to reach repeaters. The maker's power figure: 5 W / 25 W / 50 W selectable; channels 1–7 limited to 5 W. ERP includes the stock antenna, so it usually reads a little under the maker's transmitter rating.

Does the BTECH GMRS-50PRO work with GMRS repeaters?

Maker documents: Yes – repeater compatible.

Is the BTECH GMRS-50PRO waterproof?

Water rating in the maker's documents: IP54 ("not submersible"). IP67 means it survived temporary immersion in testing; IP54–IP66 cover splashes, rain or jets but not submersion.

Does the BTECH GMRS-50PRO get NOAA weather alerts?

Maker documents: NOAA weather receive with background alert monitoring.
