Baofeng celebrates it's 25 year anniversary with a special edition of the UV-5R. Baofeng drastically lowered the prices of handheld VHF/UHR radios with the UV-5R in 2012 priced at 20 to 30€.
In my opinion, it's the #glock of ham radio. Many people still buy or recommend buying the UV-5R even though there are way better alternatives for the same price. It doesn't have USB-C charging or upgradeable firmware. The UV-5R only has 128 memory channels and the display / ui is very... "basic". Glock owners would say "but it's so reliable", baofeng fans might say "but it' so cheap, don't complain".
Let's talk about the alternatives.
The Quansheng UV-K5 has USB-C charging and custom firmware like the F4HWN firmware that supports 200 memory channels and a spectrum view among other features.
The Tidradio TD-H3 has USB-C charging as well as programming over USB which the UV-K5 cannot. The Quansheng UV-K1 also adds USB programing. The F4HWN firmware supports the UV-K1 as well. -

#Funk ohne #klassische #Reichweite?
Eine neue Art zu kommunizieren! #TIDRADIO #G18
Das #TIDRADIO #G18 ist ein sogenanntes #PoC- #Funkgerät ( #Push_to_Talk_over_Cellular ), das über das #Mobilfunknetz funktioniert.
In diesem Video erkläre ich die Technik, den Unterschied zu klassischen #Funkgeräten und zeige, für welche Einsatzzwecke sich diese Art der Kommunikation eignet unter anderem auch auf dem Boot, im Hafen oder unterwegs. -

TIDRADIO TD-H3 Unboxing, Firmware update, usage, outdoor test, Airband test // SY1EBE

Not that I really need another HT - but Amazon had this #TIDRadio H3 with 2 TD-771 Antennas (One tuned for air band, the other tuned for 2m/440) for just $37 dollars.
It seemed like a deal I couldn't pass up.
The reviews for the radio are generally good, so I think I'll like this one. Haven't really had a chance to use it.
It is smaller then I was expected for a radio with the features it has. So for size comparison I included a picture of some other radios.
