minus-squarethe_football_maestro@lemmy.mlOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·1 year agoWhat do you think about the baofeng radios with ham? Pretty good to start out with?
minus-squareminorsecond@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·1 year agoThey are fine for starting out with, but you’ll probably want to upgrade soon. There are better radios for around $75 if you can afford it.
minus-squarethe_football_maestro@lemmy.mlOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·1 year agoWhat would you recommend? Is there a good mega thread here?
minus-squareminorsecond@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·edit-21 year agoMost activity, I’ve seen here: [email protected] but there’s a lemmy bug that’s not showing a bunch of posts. That should be resolved soon. These are good cheaper radios (The price has gone up a bit) https://www.hamradio.com/detail.cfm?pid=H0-016123 https://www.hamradio.com/detail.cfm?pid=H0-015573
minus-squareTheThinker@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoIma be honest with ya, I believe those cheaper yaesus are actually practically baofengs component wise. But, they are still a bit better due to some higher quality components and wayyyy better QC. Just wanted to throw this out there.
minus-squareminorsecond@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoThey’re pretty much baofengs with much better filtering, so you don’t get front end overloading which can be frustrating.
