@@RaccoonsRadioRanchThe Sad Hams hate the Baofeng...but, it has brought more folks to ham and GMRS than any radio. If folks don't know that you're on a Baofeng they cannot tell by the sound . They sound fine and 5 watts is 5 watts! Great review and demonstration!

@@mitchh6702Thanks , and I agree ... a radio is a radio , as long as you can get on the air . I just renewed my license for the 2nd time . My first radio was a 2 meter mobile on a power supply with a J-pole antenna . I would have been happy to have the option of having a Baofeng UV-5R for an HT back then.

Chirp software is decent. I've got the same radio. Nice little units. Though, it usually stays home and I break out the id52a when I'm with the ham guys. Great too see you back! 73 Luke

Yeah the Chirp program makes it even easier to program it . I also have a Yaesu FT60r that usually goes places with me when I'm out and about . I just thought it would be cool get this radio and try it out .

@RaccoonsRadioRanch I do backpack with the baofeng. The loss of one is not nearly as bad If I take a fall and break it or loose it.

@@luke8210Same reason I decided to give the Baofeng a try myself . They don't cost much , making them perfect for hiking , camping , prepping or whatever .
