Mitex 5 watt PMR radios

[BeardyMan]

You can't beat those baofengs.

Maplins used to be good, like 15 years ago, when it was catalogue only, and they only really sold components.

Now, they knock out overpriced crap. I've not seen a single thing in maplins that I consider worth the money.

Believe me.

The handsets are practically identical.

I would not be surprised if both are made in the same factory
-in Shenzen
-in China
-in fact.....

I'm probably wasting my time saying that I've had BOTH in my hand (* thanks Maplins for showing me the Mitex ) , they are very similar , both feel the same , roughly weigh the same , they both use the same connection form with accessories.....that's why I bought another BF888-S and not a Mitex.

Believe what you will , feel free to spend the extra £65 for no performance gain.

Say sorry to the mutt for me bud

They look good, just read the link. Might order a couple to add to the PMR set I already have. Hopefully they were kind enough to use the same chargers / battery packs in both the UV-5R and the BF888-s
