This Expedition Radio Kit includes two powerful 5-watt GMRS radios, designed for extended range, multi-day battery life, and full waterproof protection. Hand-tested to IP67 standards, the radios withstand 1 meter of submersion and feature a water-shedding design for quick, clear communication—even in whitewater. The radios are fully compatible with our award-winning FRS Mountain Radio.

Built and tested in the Colorado Rockies, the Expedition Radio is ruggedly constructed with protective rubber padding and a shatterproof LED screen. A specialized 1800 mAh battery delivers 4–6 days of use on a single charge, even in frigid conditions. With 5 watts of output—the highest allowed for handheld GMRS radios—it offers a max range of over 35 miles, with 2–8 miles more typical in backcountry terrain. For more info on range, please see our range testing video.

Each radio comes ready to use with a compact 7.5cm antenna installed, plus an included 17cm antenna to moderately boost range and weather channel reception. Additional features include dual-channel monitoring, access to NOAA weather alerts, and 8 GMRS repeater channels for extended transmission.

Attachment is simple with the integrated steel gator clip (360° rotation) and backup leash. For even more versatility, the Expedition Radio is compatible with our modular Carabiner Attachment, the Universal Mount system, and the high-performance Whip Antenna.
