WRXP381 Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 I have a few uv5r’s and a few I’ve-17r pro v2s NON gps. They all work fine. They have all the features of radios 10xs the price they transmit the exact same distance as my Motorola xts3000 radios All my radios get used just about every day. I love the cheap Chinese ones. 30miles across the valley is no problem and if they get lost stolen forgotten left behind or go in the river or get crushed by a horse who cares. And end the end no one on the repeaters know the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRZT411 Posted March 18 Author Report Share Posted March 18 Yeah, I have a half dozen of the uv-5r variants and a pair of the uv-5g plus gmrs radios. No complaints with any of them. Boofwangs are going up in price; maybe that will cause the haters to respect them more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
