[chirp_users] HTX 202

[Randy Elliott]

Hi glenn
That's  news to me. I have never come across any mods like that.
If your looking for that type of rig I would suggest a cheap Baufeng radio then.
All I know is that one time we took a 202 and another more modern ht (with a wide front end) into a high noise area of Toronto and the 202 had no trouble quieting the intermod noise the other ht was suffering from.

If you want programming for a radio cross ship me your 202 and all the toys with it and I'll ship you a UV-5R  with big antenna, battery, and speaker mic.  No problem.  The 202 is a much better radio IMO.  And I have 2 UV5Rs.    K4RJJ Ronny
