Think you scored a deal on a "GMRS Scanner Radio"? (Spoiler: You didn’t.) In this video, I dig into a radio that was hacked from Ham Radio into GMRS and scanner duty — and it fails at both. From painfully slow scanning to weak power output (only ~16W on GMRS), this radio shows why not every rig should be modded.
⚡ What you’ll see in this video:
• How the radio was reprogrammed for GMRS & scanning
• Why it doesn’t belong on GMRS (wrong filters, poor performance)
• My real-world test results on power output and scan speed
• Why the previous owner probably returned it

Before you grab a used radio that promises to do everything, watch this. It might save you time, frustration, and cash.
