If you ever start taking things too seriously, just remember that we are talking monkeys on an organic spaceship flying through the universe.

Oh dear.

Just in case anyone who is interested hasn't read a single post of mine on this subject - my other 2 handsets are Baofeng BF888-S.

Compare please.

One is £80 from Maplins the other is £17 off Ebay.
Both have similar if not identical performance.
One is the Mitex handie , and the other is the Baofeng BF888-S.
Both say < 5W on the plate at the back.

The choice - is yours.
Trying very hard not to be paranoid.....and it aint getting easier.

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.

They do pretty buttons.......not the sewing kind though.

the Baofeng is available on Ebay for £14.60 with free postage-if you can wait for it to be delivered from Hong Kong.
