Also, the radio in the box was not the model number listed on the box

The older models were often accused of spurious emissions and lack of pre/De emphasis

I would have given them 5 stars, but the confusion created by the different companies building different models of radios and accessories is really a detriment.

My old model had issues with squelch consistency.

I have a few of the BF models, this one is just as good, newer model.

but it does not support this model even though Amazon suggested it with this product

The raido's where the right model and where easy to program

Excellent Baofeng model for the price

I suggest spend the extra 30 and get the better Baofeng model for ~60

The CHIRP program doesn't support this particular model anymore

I may get a different HT in the future at some point, but honestly unless this gets wet or lost while hiking, I don't feel any need to upgrade to a fancier model - this little starter HT is perfect for my needs (from an HT)

This means any and ALL models sold by Foscam are fakes (they have "scam" in their name which should explain

It seems other models aren't having any problems, so it is either this model or this radio.

=D Great for the Indy 500!
