I have to say, I bought the UV-3R just before I got licensed for tech, and used it till I could get me a 10m/12m radio, later got me an all-band Yaesu-857D for the truck.  I now managed to get me a UV-5R  The 5R is not only built better than the 3R, but the alpha tags make using it a dream!  I can't remember all the frequencies I plug into it, which is why I put them in the memory in the first place!  Now if they just make a D-Star or a cheap HF hand held, we'd be set!
