Hi guys,
A couple buddies and I are studying for our Technicians license.
We are looking for a suggestion on a good basic handheld that will always be useful. Kind of like that single stage press that you would always keep for certain tasks no matter how many Dillons you keep buying
I know a lot of people suggest the Baofeng handhelds due to cost. I see the UV5Rs ranging from $23 to $89.
Is the $89 just the newer model with the programming cable and such added in? Is it worth is over the $23 model?
Any other suggestions?
I can see myself growing in this hobby and getting a nice base station set up eventually but I’m really just looking to start with a handheld and learn how to tweak the most out of it.
Thanks guys!
