[chirp_users] This just kills me

[Tycen Stafford]

If you're not adverse to a 3 week shipping time and taking a risk on
Chinese manufacturing, I have found that there are some super cheap
accessories on banggood.com <https://www.banggood.com/search/baofeng.html>
for Baofengs. Antennas, adapters, headsets, batteries, etc. I've ordered
from them dozens of times (for all kinds of electronics, but at least a
dozen Baofeng accessories) and everything has always arrived and works.
Some stuff even ships for the States and arrives in a few days (but you
might pay a little more). Their $5 magmount dual-band antenna
<https://www.banggood.com/UT106-SMA-Female-Dual-Band-Auto-10W-Antenne-for-BAOFENG-UV5RUV5RAUV5RE-HIYG-p-1114869.html>
is great for a quick mobile deployment (you think the magnet isn't going to
be strong enough but so far it's held up at 70mph for me).
