[chirp_users] Which radio?

[Chuck Hast]

Well, that was a good load of answers. I think that the radio I am looking
at
would be the BTECH UV-5X3. I would like to have access to all of those
bands.

The TYT-TH 9800 is an interesting option. Have to take a look at that one.
I need
a radio like that for the wife's car so I can have a radio in that one when
I drive it.

A big thanks to all of those who provided me info, and any that may come
after.

Again, a big hats off to the folks who do the coding and other work on
Chirp.
