I ran across this gem today. CB/VHF/UHF in one radio rated at 50 Watts. Just wondering how long before the FCC shuts them down.
https://www.ruggedradios.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2152It just shows a dual band radio Vhf/Uhf.
Don't see where it states CB too?
The addition of AM, and the fact that rugged radios will "program" them for you with marine VHF, FRS, other companies frequencies, CB, whatever you want if your money is green.So how is this any different then the many knockoffs of the Yaesu FT8900?
Interesting that the RM-50R 50-Watt Remote Head Dual Band Radio they are selling at $399 is absolutely identical to the TYT-7800 that is selling for ~$196...https://www.ruggedradios.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2152
"The RM50-MB Multi-Band Radio merges VHF, UHF, CB, HAM, AM, and FM all into one unit for the ultimate, versatile communication system!"
Rugged Radios has a long standing history of thumbing their noses at the FCC rules.

No. I was comparing the RM-50R and the TYT-7800, both of which are VHF/UHF, dual-band, dual-receive* only.How come the tyt shows only vhf/uhf. Is there a modification to open up the other transmit.
Did it have time to make rounds on XJT (I haven't looked lately)?And just like that.......it was gone.
Nope, I didn't bother posting about it there.Did it have time to make rounds on XJT (I haven't looked lately)?
I purchased a Rugged Radios RM-50. My password fails to log me in, so I cannot get access to the frequency list or to the software for programming the RM-50. Repeated attempts to obtain a new password on their website gets zero response from Rugged. A phone call elicited a password of "radios", which did not work. Man, these guys are asleep at the switch !!https://www.ruggedradios.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2152

We ride UTV's a lot for recreation. We usually try to ride places where there isn't a lot of people, but occasionally we screw up. This last trip we made put us on a busy weekend and there were a lot of UTV's up from So Cal.Man, these guys are asleep at the switch !!
Actually, I was out your neck of the woods. I was up in Mono County, between Mono Lake and Mammoth Lakes, both sides of US395. We've been going up there for years, some great riding up that way.I purchased a Rugged Radios RM-50.

I have the same radio and I can give you the frequency list that they programmed and I can tell you where you can get the software that will work with the radio so you can program it with all of the frequencies/repeaters you want to use with it. message me on here or email me at my user name at G mail dot com (pay attention the spelling of my username as it is the uncommon way to do Mountain Snow)Yeah, I've got around $700 bucks invested in a RM-50 radio and headset, but cannot gain access to Rugged Radios frequency list or to their computer software program. Damn!, they sell stuff but their website manager is a dolt.
