Xiegu G1M Longer range coms on a budget

[Lightspeed]

Exactly SD.

The G90 radio more power output but is broadly similar to Icom's ( Jap) new 5w portable radio.

The G90 costs around £400 while the Icom is more than£1200

Is the Icom a better radio? For sure yes.

Is the Icom a better radio for a non radio- enthusiast prepper? No. In fact for a non-tech user, the little G1M that's the subject of this thread can be argued to be better than both. Particularly so from a standpoint of cost vs capability vs ease of use.
