Nope I am wrong, Cabelas is advertising 5w on it, but legally only 2w in Canada. They must have copied txt from the usa site.

Purchased a few radios from Costco, strong range they said, we compared to the 750 this last week and coverage was the same if not better we had thought, battery was better on garman..Costco price was 90$ For three radios

Your not buying a rino for just its radio capability but its other features such as mapping, finding your buddies in the group, downloading closures and other maps. If your looking for just a two way radio this is one expensive radio.

Is anyone using the 655T model Rino? Comes with preloaded TOPO maps versus no TOPO maps on the 650 or 750. Almost bought a Garmin 62s yet these Rino's sound like champs if your friends have them too.
Or is everyone using the preloaded base maps vs the TOPO's?

The 655 has the built in camera. Never heard of any reviews of it. Aside from having pre loaded maps which requires larger internal memory there are no other differences in the 650 vs 655T. The maps are US topo so most guys on this forum will not have a 655T.

I find the camera option to be a bit of a waste myself as there are much better options like InReach they could have stuffed in the new 750 vs a camera in the 755.
