[chirp_users] Tri Band Radio

[Chuck Hast]

I bought the BaoFeng UV-5x3  to get access to 220 mHz as I do not have a
radio on that band
it is great for just traveling around and being able to hit repeaters from
your hotel room or if
you have an external antenna on the vehicle you can hook up to it, even as
a mobile. It is given
to intermod when you are in high population areas but beyond that the only
other thing that
comes to mind is it is a wee bit slow in the RX<>TX transitions, but you
learn to live with it.

For the price it is hard to beat, and it you do break it do you do not cry
too much.
