Thanks for all that work. I hope you consider the BTech UV-Pro in your next listing. VHF-UHF, GPS, APRS, Bluetooth map integration, Photo sharing by transmission, all for $160.00.
Good review. I think you missed on the Alternate Mentions in not recommending the Yaesu FT-60R as a tough and very feature rich radio. It's been the gold standard analog FM radio for years. Also in DMR, a super rugged, IP 67 rated radio for basic use would be the TYT UV- 390 plus. At $120.00, it is a great basic DMR radio. No APRS, but if your looking for a great field radio, it's hard to beat, especially at it's price point. It punches well above it's price and will hold up to rough use and water intrusion far better than the others (all depends on your intended use). Thanks for the review, I think many will benefit from it.
Thanks Jim! Great review, gives me lots to think about as I begin this process.
Thank you!

The 878 and the 168 have become my go to HT'S I don't even mess with any other companies

We will look at that one for future reviews. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the thoughts. The FT-60R seems good as well. Will consider it for future reviews.
I was surprised you didn't mention the VGC N-76. Any thoughts?
Our team has not seen that one. Thanks for the tip. We'll consider it for future updates.
What’s the difference between the Baofeng BF F8 HP
Pro 8 watt and the Baofeng AR-5RM 10watt radios both have the same features?
The BF HP Pro has on board GPS, that's the biggest difference I am aware of.
There's a difference between Btech and baofeng
Thise Kenwood are absolutely stupidly overpriced
They seem to have come down in price a bit. We saw them under $600 during a Black Friday sale, so shop around!
thereis NO fair price with Japanese radios
