Then there is other ‘equipment’ not currently in active use.
I have a Baofeng and its very difficult (but not impossible) to program from the keyboard. It’s easy with the CHIRP program and the computer cable. It operates just fine. If you buy one, get the computer cable too.
Thanks Niko,
The Baofeng has been working pretty good for me for a few years now … Have the Extended Battery (modified to fit version), it just spent quite a few months off charger in my vehicle(more than 4months) and with the weather below freezing at times, pulled it out a couple days ago, powered on, still fully charged. Also, I wouldn’t mess with these Chinese HT’s without a speaker mic. Now if my WX Station could behave so well :lol:
