Re: Basic Unit Selection
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý
The UV-5R is a good budget priced radio. They are good value for the price you pay, but they aren't top of the line. If you take them into town/shopping centres, they are prone to interference, as they aren't very selective.
I use one for around the house or walking around the local district, as I am talking and listening to things close. The unit is small and will fit into your top pocket easily with the standard battery. The high capacity battery can be handy if you are going
out all day and will be using it alot. The big battery doubles the size of the unit and weight.
I don't think you will be disappointed.

Listening, looking around, reading umpteen reviews, and having an old vet budget and too many interests, I agree with some which relate that the Baofeng is a good low priced entry level device for those entering amateur radio. I've been all around in electronics
and communication and listened to my old military receiver.
But I am having trouble identifying which unit is preferable. I see only an odd unit with almost unused (in the US,) and a unit with a larger battery, (which I love,) and a dual-power level, which I will like, once I am licensed. This site shows some unit examples. $29 vs $69 no huge biggee. (A ext mike and better antenna can come when I can Xmit and am licensed on more than my ancient CB, lol !) Comments plz if any.
