  4. @kd0ess and I hear that they've worked out a lot of problems. 9:23 PM Jun 1st via YoruFukurou in reply to kd0ess
  5. @kd0ess They're coming out with new hardware. I expect that Ed at Import Communications has the latest batch, 9:23 PM Jun 1st via YoruFukurou in reply to kd0ess
  6. @kd0ess Hard to say, they both have advantages, but if all the bugs are worked out of the Baofeng, I'd get it. 9:21 PM Jun 1st via YoruFukurou in reply to kd0ess
  7. @kd0ess LOL, you did. 9:21 PM Jun 1st via YoruFukurou in reply to kd0ess
  8. @kd0ess The Baofeng, by far. $65 shipped. 9:20 PM Jun 1st via YoruFukurou in reply to kd0ess
  9. @kd0ess No, just some small ergonomic differences. Baofeng is slightly smaller, and it waits longer before it exist the menu. 9:19 PM Jun 1st via YoruFukurou in reply to kd0ess
  10. @kd0ess Yeah, we all want that. :) 9:18 PM Jun 1st via YoruFukurou in reply to kd0ess
  11. @kd0ess I think if they have all the bugs worked out of the Baofeng, I like it a little bit better. 9:18 PM Jun 1st via YoruFukurou in reply to kd0ess
  12. @kd0ess But as for right now. I have both the Baofeng UV_5R and the Wouxun and like them both. 9:18 PM Jun 1st via YoruFukurou in reply to kd0ess
  13. @kd0ess as soon as I know anything concrete. 9:17 PM Jun 1st via YoruFukurou in reply to kd0ess
  14. @kd0ess Pretty nearly. Actually, I think I might wait. A new radio from TYT might have better speech than both of them. I'll let you know 9:17 PM Jun 1st via YoruFukurou in reply to kd0ess
  15. @kd0ess Well, the price is right on the Wouxuns and the Baofengs. bit.ly/LTCUAG 9:15 PM Jun 1st via YoruFukurou in reply to kd0ess
  16. @kd0ess I'm good to about 30 wpm, maybe a bit more if it's a good signal and a good fist. Can't send that fast though. 9:14 PM Jun 1st via YoruFukurou in reply to kd0ess
  17. @kd0ess Well, that's an easy problem to fix :-) 9:14 PM Jun 1st via YoruFukurou in reply to kd0ess
  18. @kd0ess Waiting for the new Elecraft rig. KX3, runs 10 watts and weighs 1.5 pounds. Should have it in a couple weeks or less. 9:13 PM Jun 1st via YoruFukurou in reply to kd0ess
  19. @kd0ess Theree's info on bit.ly/v6beu2 though. 9:13 PM Jun 1st via YoruFukurou in reply to kd0ess
