If someone wants those functions then it's worth it but for me $30 Baofeng has everything I need an HT

True

According to ICOM there are no parts available to repair a 706MKIIG. I have a dead one sitting on the shelf.

I had the extra wires on the PDL2 I had up years ago, I saw no improvement at all. Not worth the effort.

He will be missed, prayers to his family!

yep

Correct it is 5w but little useable difference between five and ten

I just picked this up a couple of days ago, it's Tidradio H3. This could quite possibly be a Baofeng killer. Here are some highlights: - Small and light - Built-in Bluetooth - Adjustable mic gain with compression - Long battery life - USB-C charging - USB-C Programming - Supported by Chirp...

Airband RX is poor at best, you must update the firmware to even get it to the poor level. The AGC on AM is all messed up, it overloads easily. I live about a mile and half from a major airport and I can barely copy the tower and ground coms. I have several other Chinese HTs that recieved the...

Never had an issue with anything I bought from them, it all just worked. Sorry to see them go, there has been a rash of older established companies closing lately.

Yes, they do happen but more and more so these days. Quality control is an afterthought these days.

They do look nice.

I ran a CPI 2000 for a while, I thought it was a great radio till I started running an ICOM 720A. The ICOM ran circles around it.
