    BaoFeng BF-F8HP (UV-5R 3rd Gen) 8-Watt Dual Band Two-Way Radio (136-174Mhz VHF & 400-520Mhz UHF) Includes Full Kit

    • My favorite feature is the ability to monitor two channels at the same time without being in a scan mode.
    • I wish Baofeng would open source the firmware so people like me could modify the user interface with cool features like customizable scanning profiles
    • I like all the features of this little radio
    • Awesome radio for Hams, easy to program with chirp and many great features... one drawback...not too tough
    • Just a regret : even thought you can put a name on a chanel, you cannot display simultaneously the frequency and this name (on the 2nd line for example).146.xxxRPTR NAMEThat would be a nice feature, useful while scanning a bunch of repeaters around your location, or satellite frequencies
