I'm just discovering this radio. My wife hates having mobiles in the car on road trips. This thing is getting installed in her car ASAP! The app has a dark mode, correct? Really cool find, thanks for sharing the video🤙
@fitzventure it looks like some version of what btech had for their gmrs pro. It's definitely got upsides but the downsides were pretty annoying. Might be nice to run out of my car while I'm connected inside during the winter
I have the vrn7500 and Yaesu ftm 400. The Yaesu outperforms the 7500 in all radio receive/transmit/filtering/aprs ui. That being said, I have both installed and the vero is an aprs igate and 2 of 16 banks are setup as gmrs channels
Oh yeah, I like it. Used it on an 8 overlanding trip and it worked great. I hate the app, it's functional but clunky. As an app developer, I might take a stab at writing my own app for it.

You will be disappointed in the app. It's functional but clunky. I wish they put more effort into it.

I have several Yaesus as well, but I just like how clean this install is. Mostly used for truck-to-truck comms so it doesn't have to be the best.
Install looks great. Do you have a link to the lip mount you used? I have a 2011 lr4 and a spare 2m mobile.
I don't have a link but it's a Diamond lip mount if that helps.
Do you have to reach under the seat every time you want to turn the radio on/off? Or can you do that from the corded mic?
you can turn off and on via the app
Do you have a link for that antenna?
Just Google "Comet 2x4 antenna".
any update to the radio? how do you like it?
