Product model naming rules

Before explaining the specifics, we need to know how to differentiate the different versions of these two models by their names. In the popular Business Series, this distinction exists for the models (RB89 / RB689; NR30 / NR630; p2/p62) which are all named in this way in the existing long range walkie-talkies. Looking at them in detail, it is easy to see that the models without the number "6" are all in the GMRS band. Those with the number "6" are non-GMRS radios. At present, you can distinguish the three models (rb89/rb689; nr30/nr630; p2/p62) by this method. There is no difference in appearance or features between the different versions except for the difference in frequency bands.

Let's move on to the detailed differences between the P2 and NR30 radios;

Because the difference between P2 and NR30 is basically the same as P62 and NR630. The difference is that both P2/NR30 are GMRS radios. So in order to better understand the difference between the two; you can refer to the previous (Difference between P62 and NR630). Here are some simple differences.
