    FYI you can program the UV-82 thru chirp to disable the dual PPT and it defaults to both PTT operating on the selected frequency. It basically makes it the same user interface as every other feng. And that also includes the standard speaker mics as well

    10 cheap radios for your neighborhood is worth more than 1 expensive radio that you can’t talk to anyone close by

    Got the tyt for my whole family and neighbor. Set up local repeaters, gmrs, basically all emergency frequencies. Even has 8 scramble codes for gmrs. Can't wait for April 19th. 98 is a 10watt radio but currently lacks chirp programming.
