Great video! The comments on it have also been interesting. It's certainly worth comparing this video to the videos showing the Element in a more positive light. One of the commenters suggested "chimney effect" prevented the Element's stream from reaching the base of the fire, while the faster...
They do work well. For tests/reviews, I'd direct folks to Youtube where they've been tested by amateurs and professionals in a variety of conditions:

Roll Happy!
I have a 2018 4runner TRD Offroad... One of the things I liked about it was that not being the first model year of a model (or generation) there was a fairly clear maintenance/reliability record.

Agreed. I think radio choice MOSTLY depends, first on what your crew rolls (if everyone in your crew uses GMRS/ham/CB, you need the same tech to talk to them), and second on where you roll (what kind of repeaters are available). I only emphasized the second, because OP mentioned they travel...
I have a Yaesu FTM400XDR, but I was specifically looking for something APRS-capable with a remote head and I liked the touchscreen. Prior to that, I had a Baofeng UV5R that died within the first year - can't recommend it. Yaesu/Kenwood/Icom (all Japanese) seem to be the favored higher end...
Hi Matt,
First, let me say that my reasons for adding 2-way radio to my vehicle are pretty much exactly what you've described. I have and use both GMRS and ham in my vehicle (more below).
Operationally, there isn't much difference between ham and GMRS except that you can run a ham at higher...
