Amateur Radio without a radio is not amateur radio. Buy A radio.

Up for a vote in May, Part 95 is changing to allow FRS radios to have 22 channels and 2 watt power output. GMRS licensing remains, with repeaters remaining. CB radio rules changed to remove the distance restriction. see here: https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/index.do?document=344617

I was on a recent vacation and had a CB on. For an 800 mile drive, I heard TWO people on channel 19..... The drivers are sick of all the trash on the band.... both bad behavior and the skip crap that makes local comms impossible. Maybe with the solar cycle declining, you'll see more use as it...

Fan doesn't bother me at all :) Tells me it's working........ working great for 5 years and counting now.

My Megawatt is about 4 years old. It has never given me a single problem. Voltage is constant and maintains stability under all operating conditions. Clean and no HF noise.

which of course, means every CB radio operator will jump all over themselves to get one. They need to generate as much bleedover as possible. J'in Fer Good Buddy :)

Actually, I hear bleedover on a daily basis. Well, most illegal CBers with their "inbred bleedover generators" do this. I'd say 99% of those idiots making "inbred long distance calls" bleed over at least one channel. Since CB criminals usually use Class C amplifiers, made for FM and sold as...

Excellent review! Thanks for the work you put into the detailed report! It is too bad the radio doesn't have an identifier so it can be used in full crossband mode. Nonetheless, it looks to be an overall good radio. Thanks again!

I totally agree!

:headbang You know darn well that anyone who connects a transceiver to an antenna is going to transmit. :headbang

Exceeding 100% is a mathematical impossibility. Once you reach 100%, you have reached the limit of the channel's capability to handle more information. Any amount over 100% spills over into the adjacent channels, causing bleedover. You cannot bend physical laws.

Illegal on FRS,GMRS,MURS :bdh: Although, at this point, I'm probably running the dead horse thru a meat grinder. :)

Yes. I ordered one. Have to wait on it though. Supposed to have better ICs in it. I started a Yahoo group here: Yahoo Groups Baofeng has it up on their site,the press release is here: http://www.baofengradio.com/en/shownews.asp?id=27 It didn't work when I last went to it, so...

I ordered one, and started a Yahoo group for it. Just got the programming software uploaded.

One other thing to add... If this was a "review" there would be some performance "reviews" also. What is good, bad, versus the regular old uv5r and its million other clones that would make us want to buy one?

The Ebay site showed some different chips in comparison, so hardwarewise it is an Upgrade. 2014 BAOFENG GT 3 VHF UHF 136 174 4

Well, all you need is an external antenna and a length of coax to do that.

You are welcome... enjoy :)
