Best "Bang for the Buck" Radio.(IMHO)

[WSAA635]

BaofengTech/BTech has really out done themselves with the BF-F8HP Pro IMHO. This radio has everything I've been looking for in an HT, it's easy to program with the BTech software and even lets you add a Custom Start-Up pic. I did a vid of a quick walk around showing some of the features and showing the really awesome programming software too. Anyway, enjoy the vid and thanks for watching. TN.Frank Out!

I agree..  I lost mine last year.  Left it in my kayak and it disappeared  somewhere on the highway.  It was a 3 year old radio.  I don't recall able to custom the screen though..  Did they add that option from the original.  I think my screen was not as big as this one..

You might have had the BF-F8HP and not the Pro model which has GPS and a larger screen.

I have to look away so I'm not buying a new radio every 6 months.

Got one coming.   Saw that when ordering a UV28.  I like the group option which both radios will do.

The UV-5RH Pro GPS is almost the same radio in terms of features and function. It lacks the support and updatable firmware of the BF-F8HP Pro, and those things do matter, but it's 1/4 the price. If I were going to have only one HT and use it for many years, I'd probably go with the F8HP, but I bought the 5RH instead. There's not really one right answer to the question of what radio is "best". It depends upon how you think you will use the radio.

Saw those the other day. Pretty dang cool. About the only DMR/Analog HT I've seen that does cool analog stuff I've been missing in HT's like my MD-380. Things like tone scan, add/remove channels on the radio without a PC, etc. It's almost like a standard analog radio with all the analog features one would want that does DMR instead of a DMR radio that can do analog but with no real analog features.
