What Radio do you use

[Lightspeed]

Hi Sixpotter,

yes, this is a radio taht a number of people on this site have acquired.

I have yet to play with one, but the technical specification and low price points are exceptional.

I recently purchased a Fedaixin FD880. I am quite satisfied with it but would certainly have purchased the radio you are looking at in preferrence if it had been available at the time.

Another radio to consider, possibly in addition is the Boafeng UV-3r. this is smaller, lower power and without as meany nice operating features, but id you get the Mk1 or Mk2 version it has a big advantage of running on low cost 3.6v mobile phone type batteries.
