I'm looking for GME TX670s. Rechargeable or swap them out for AA's.
my unidens have crapped out for the second time, spoke to them and there is a design fault with the 2W versions. Won't be going uniden again. GME probably.

My radio is a tx670. Good radio. I find the tone of the speaker a little annoying.

Resurrecting this old thread… what are the current recommendations for 2 way radios? Looking for something light we can use to keep in touch up in the tops. Have some old cobras but batteries are buggered and no joy in finding replacements

I have unidens, had them for 4 or 5 years now and they are still going strong

Got gme tx6150 5watt. Very good and rechargeable battery lasts well.

I second the TX6150, good units that have worked well for me.

These have been superseded by the TX6160

Definitely recommend AliExpress- ridiculously cheaper than anything we could find in NZ for 5W
Rechargeable and simple to use - turns on slowly and no loud annoying squelch. Lightweight and compact. I was sceptical but after 5 trips I had to admit to my mate they were a good buy

Got a link?

Can get a set of 5w uniden rechargeables for reasonably priced. The earphone and Mic's you get in the package set actually work really well, keep your hands free and even talk quietly into them.

Have a look at the Icom 41 pro. They Get good wraps over here. GME also well regarded.

The Baofeng option will get ya in the shit if you ever get pinged.

If you're at all inclined, think about getting your ham ticket and then you can have (almost) any radio you want and the available capabilities far outstrip peasant band PRS.

Yeah, I update the Mrs when hunting in the Kaimanawas. 80 odd km via the repeater above Turangi. 5 watts. Then change channel and talk to my hunting mate on his prs uhf on the next ridge.

Px 777 from Ali express about $90 each they all get through. Can be a bitch to program, but bulletproof, and range better than any of my mates ones.....
