    • 5W Output Power: Outperforms base models (3W) by 66%, enabling clearer signals in mountainous or urban canyons.
    • IPX5 Waterproofing: Protects against rain and splashes, ideal for outdoor and maritime use.
    • Dual APRS Speed: Switch between 1200bps for long-range and 9600bps for high-speed data in open areas.
  2. Version Selection Guide:

    • Car Users: Opt for the Pro Model’s 5W power and APRS for vehicle-to-vehicle coordination and GPS tracking.
    • Hikers/Outdoor Teams: Prioritize the Pro’s IPX5 rating and dual-band coverage for all-terrain reliability.
    • Budget Users: The Base Model suffices for casual use but lacks APRS and extended battery life.

With the Pro Model’s 5W output and APRS capability, you can transmit critical data (e.g., GPS coordinates) 8x faster than standard 1200bps systems. Pair its IPX5 rating with the included car mount to ensure seamless operation during storms or off-road adventures.
