Deal Details
* Without starting the purse swinging about license/no license. Do your own homework and make your own discission on the rules. *

I personally own two of these, and at $10 a radio, I am in for another pair. They use the Kenwood style plug and is programmable via CHIRP. The sound, IMO, is better then the UV5r for comparison. Also have 200 programmable channel slots, more then Baofeng. Yes, they work on 2m/70 and GMRS. The ONLY thing that bugs me about these, is the stud is on the antenna vs the stud for the antenna being on the body of the radio. Not a deal breaker, just personal preference.

I have had several Baofengs, and if this is anywhere comparably close in quality this is a deal. Thanks, OP!

Ok.. trying to justify this purchase. My 5yo kid has a set of VTech but these would be way better, right? Is the operation of these complicated?

Very complicated. You are better off to get those simple Motorola ones.

Agree, this is not for kids. If they start typing in #s on the VFO, who knows where they will be transmitting.
