Swapping my BTech GMRS-50v2 for the BTech GMRS-20v2

BTech Radios is my go-to GMRS radio brand when it comes to offroad radio communication. For a while, I've been running their 50v2 mounted radio and it has been a great com on the trails. In this video, I will be removing my 50v2 radio from my truck, but it's not because the radio had any issues, it was just my personal choice to change to a different model they have.
I changed out my 50v2 for the newer model the 20v2. It does have less power but, I love that all the radio controls are on the handheld speaker microphone and not on the unit. The best part about this design is being able to hide the main unit and keep it out of the way to eliminate clutter in the cabin of the truck.
Any Amazon links you buy from will help support the channel at no extra cost to you!

I always wire my radios directly to the battery. That way the radio can be on without having the key in/near the ignition on accessory. Imagine being out camping and losing your key, or some other unforeseen circumstance where you're away from your truck, and other friends need to use the radio. It happens... Good Luck!

I’ve actually never thought about that scenario but it’s a good idea for an emergency

[@rossgobble2274]

Had the exact same experience, kinda hated the 50 watt. Doing the same thing.

[@FortuneTacoAZ]

What was your reason for hating the 50w?

[@alee2969]

Good arguments for the 20x2

[@FortuneTacoAZ]

[@MrSo47]

Great video! FYI! I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THAT 50W RADIO YOU'RE REPLACING!!!

[@FortuneTacoAZ]

Thank you, sorry the radio was donated to a family member

[@Kbulldozer]

What’s that rack/mounting system called

[@FortuneTacoAZ]

What mounting system?

[@jonathanwheeler9105]

I use a magnet for the 20W mic

[@FortuneTacoAZ]

Please do explain more on how you did that, I just ordered a replacement clip for a cb mic and I was gong to drill into the mic so I can mount it like any other cb radio mic

[@jonathanwheeler9105]

@@FortuneTacoAZ I took a small metal plate used for a cell phone and gorilla glued it to the mic then used a flush mount magnet and mounted it to the dash.

[@FortuneTacoAZ]

@@jonathanwheeler9105 that sounds like a simple fix. My plan is to add the cb mic button on the back then possibly purchase the magnetic mic system to attach it to my dash.

So you went from a 50 W radio to a 20 W radio you’re a genius
