Uniden XTRAK50 5 Watt Waterproof Smart UHF Handheld Radio

Uniden have two models of the XTRAK50, and this doesnt have Bluetooth as I expected. You need the pro version which otherwise shares the SAME model and looks identical. Very misleading for a layman expecting the Pro version simply came with more accessories for a Pro. I really wanted this feature so fee quite ripped off. The record playback function is nearly useless, because if anyone responds or adds a second transmission after the first then you cannot playback the original message and so the function is pointless in many cases (people often transmit multiple times, so only the very last is captured despite having a 60 second record limit). The ability to remove crackle on weak signals is non existent.

You need the pro version which otherwise shares the SAME model and looks identical. Very misleading for a layman expecting the Pro version simply came with more accessories for a Pro.

The record playback function is nearly useless, because if anyone responds or adds a second transmission after the first then you cannot playback the original message and so the function is pointless in many cases (people often transmit multiple times, so only the very last is captured despite having a 60 second record limit). The ability to remove crackle on weak signals is non existent. The EQ function makes such a little difference to sound I dont know why they bothered. Spare batteries seem unobtainable. The webpage to claim your free car kit, simply creates a page to print and post to Uniden (in 2022 the company cant set up a web form for this?!). Its scan function feels slow to move through channels. Having a dot matrix OLED doesnt make the unit intuitive at all as many function names are shortened. I cant seem to set scan mode on certain channels only. If I could return it, I would in a heartbeat and get the 850 model or another manufacturer 5wunit, and save $150. Its simply not at all worth the cost. The non pro version shouldnt exist as it doesnt make sense. It should have a lower model number of other very clear distinction that the two XTRAK50s dont share the same functionality.

I brought this for my mother who lives out bush on a station, I wanted to know on her drive from Townsville and while she's out there that in the worst case that she needs to contact someone she can, the guys and gal's at townsville store are the absolute best
