I know you say that and so does Mad Scientist, but I have ran mine back to back with my regular UV-5R, and locals say they can't tell a difference. Don't know why, I guess I got lucky. Still, for how cheap they are, hard to pass on one.

I just finished an in-depth review of this radio and compared it to a standard UV-5R. Harmonic suppression is something Baofeng should really look at -- fast. All in all my opinion is that this model is overpriced.

I was not sure what to expect. I actually did not want to review any UV-5R variety anymore, because it was all about how the radios looked like, not about how they performed.
However, both the manufacturer and early adopters claimed that the GT-3 was a much better radio. I just had to check it out for myself.

There is a mod to fix this I did it to my uv5r+ and it made my tx audio louder. it had to do with removing a cap and bypassing a resistor

I guess GT-3 will be replaced by BaoFeng GT-3 Mark II, for the GT-3 Mark II has make much improvement on antenna. Is there anyone already have one?
I got a gt 3 tp.it has almost 8 watts on 2 meters hi setting 4 watts medium and 1 watt low,jump to 70 cm 6.7 watts hi setting 3 watts medium and almost nothing on low.
The sainsonic antenna is better than my genuine nayoga clone copy of a nayoga antenna.
You have to file lip off the nayoga base to install on the gt 3 tp. In my yard on 442.xxx 23 miles from my house i can talk on our repeater very clearly. My old uv5 would never do that.
Put an adapter on it n its good on my tram dipole 35 ft high.its no name brand $250 ht but works n much more attractive than the uv 5.
Oh on hi power battery lasts good 4 hours,i got an extra battery with my radio too.
In bad conditions it could beat nothing for the price
