Today I put up a video I was hesitant to put up but with the lack of EcoFlow support and taking care of their customers I had to show what happened to me when I needed my River 2 Pro during an emergency. If you depend on these products for your life in an emergency such as for a CPAP, etc. what are your thoughts? For such an expensive product I would have expected more. Let me know in the comments below. @EcoFlowTech, I would be willing to chat to discuss this if desired, feel free to reach out. ======================================================== 🇺🇸 Support the Channel 🇺🇸 If you like our videos and want to help us purchase new products to bring to you guys please consider buying me a beer or coffee :) ► https://www.buymeacoffee.com/offgridtech ► https://mercury.streamelements.com/tip/offgridtechnology ► https://vod.strms.net/p/84566910 🎥 Follow Me On Other Social Media 🎥 Website: http://www.offgrid.technology Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/offgridtechnology/ Odysee: https://odysee.com/@OffgridTechnology:c Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/offgridtechnology/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/OffgridTechTX Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-1947304 📻 Shop Our Sponsors 📻 Contingency Medical - https://contingencymedical.com/ Coffee Brand Coffee: https://coffeebrandcoffee.com/?ref=V2tm9_DKYkq1Ir (5% OFF) Tags: #hamradio #gmrs #offgridtechnology

Today we continue with the Operator Series: GMRS-PRO. In today's video, we will be using the 2x BTECH GMRS-Pro to demonstrate how to ping and navigate (small demo) to a partner using a GMRS-Pro.

Today we are going to do a different type of video to start a series called the Operator Series. This series will consist of videos that are more designed on how to perform functions of the radios so that if SHTF you have all bases covered. In today's video, we will be using the 2x BTECH GMRS-Pro to demonstrate sending a text message to another radio without the use of a phone or tablet connected via Bluetooth.

Today I show you quickly how to unlock the Wideband support for the Retevis RA85 GMRS Handy Talky. This was the one feature that was a deal breaker for me with this radio but Retevis Support came through and really stepped up to fix the issue. I want to thank them for their help and support. If you have the same issue I encourage you to reach out to Retevis Support @ info@retevis.com and let them know you need the RA685 Plus software to unlock wideband support for your RA85, I hope they change this from being needed going forward but this is a good fix to an amazing radio.
