<div dir="ltr">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 <a href="https://www.banggood.com/search/baofeng.html">banggood.com</a> 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 <a href="https://www.banggood.com/UT106-SMA-Female-Dual-Band-Auto-10W-Antenne-for-BAOFENG-UV5RUV5RAUV5RE-HIYG-p-1114869.html">$5 magmount dual-band antenna</a> 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).</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 20, 2018 at 5:27 PM, Ron via chirp_users <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com" target="_blank">chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div>

Since most of the radios used to cost way more than the UV5, a $50 headset was relatively cheap. The Bluetooth adapter I use is almost $200 by the time I buy the radio cable, and that doesn't include the actual headset.</span></div>
