The Radioddity GM-30 PLUS Is a good radio. It has 10 zones with 100 stations per zone. Zones 2-10 are RX only. I have several for my family and have Zone 2 set to monitor local ham repeaters and Zone 3 to monitor Calvert EmComm frequencies. These can be ordered from either Amazon or Radioddity, although the Radioddity orders are often shipped from China. Amazon is faster. The radio allows users to page individual units by assigning a code to each radio and can be used to receive location information. They sell individually or in pairs. There's programming software in Chirp and also from RT Systems. It's also Bluetooth programmable with the app.
Another affordable radio is the Wouxun KG-S65G. It has 400 programmable channels. It's available from ButTwoWayRadios dot com in Rock Hill SC. They only ship on weekdays and I've received them within 2-3 days after ordering. The last I checked the only programming software is on the vendor site.
On the high end side us the BTECH GMRS Pro. The radio is programmable from an app which can also install firmware updates. The only issue is if you have multiple radios, as each needs to have a unique identifier to assure installation. They have a nice programming interface that can easily be changed on the programming app. Available from BTECH in South Dakota or Amazon.
