Pros & Cons
Pros
The radioddity gm30 has a keypad which is very helpful with setting up the radio. This radio is a good cheap alternative to other gmrs offerings from midland, wouxun, and other companies. It's worth it and once license is gud for whole family.
Worked right out of the box. It is pretty sturdy and feels like it can take some *. Very happy with turnaround time of the customer support. Thank you nora and the radioddity team.
Long range with the long-range antennas is impressive. Antenna is removable so it can be changed or hooked to mobile or base antenna. Awesome on the highway in the convoy of jeeps on trailers too.
It is usable, in every sense. Relatively easy to set up, lots of features to be explored. Quirky menu items to get used to.
This radio has all of the tones that some radios don't have and the ability to program many more repeater channels in the rpt channels or diy channels. It's worth noting that the battery life takes a hit when using the fm radio feature, especially in ... Read More
Cons
Buyer beware. Do not order this junk. Just get something else.
Highlights
Quality
It is pretty sturdy and feels like it can take some abuse.
The additional microphones, although not extensively tested yet, appear to be of good quality, boasting a long cord for added convenience.
2nd test was with the supplied rubber antenna and hit 2 of the 3 repeaters.
All the volume changing happens in the first 1/10th turn of the knob.
Price
Was skeptical to buy because it inexpensive, but it works great on 4x4 trails in a group for communication.
This is a suprizingly good starter radio for the price.
I picked this for low cost, removeable antenna and 8 repeater channels.
The 10 year license is easily applied for at the fcc website for $35.
Shipping
I sent her my amazon order at the end of november.
Been waiting over a week for my license but all you get on the fcc is crickets!
They promptly sent me a return label and then sent me a replacement radio.
I confirmed my address and i received my new gm30 on sunday the tenth!
Competitiveness
More user friendly and nicer than the baofeng alternative.
The radio performs as well as my other higher priced gmrs handhelds.
Overall, this radio is a good cheap alternative to other gmrs offerings from midland, wouxun, and other companies.
Checked out the frequency scan that worked, fm radio was comparable to a monaural fm pocket radio.

But the battery lasts quite a long time so even that is not a big deal

If you want to experiment you want to get into ham radio

But if you want to talk reliably with other gmrs users such as your family or friends then you want gmrs

My main gripe is that they used the wrong potentiometers for the volume knob
