203 - Baofeng Pros and Cons
Manage episode 306718966 series 1911917
If you listen to the podcast, it’s no big secret that I give Baofeng and similar radios a bad rap.
Not surprisingly, I have a list of things I dislike about these radios.
But as shocking as it sounds, I have a larger list of things that are great about these affordable two way radios that many use as scanner radios.
What You Need To Know
- With Baofeng radio, you can mistakenly transmit anywhere in the band you are not supposed to transmit.
- One of the problems with the Baofeng radio is its prolonged scan rate.
- Another issue I have with them is that there are only six characters on display.
- With Baofeng units, minor firmware tweaks will prevent you from cloning radios.
- There is no AM mode in these units, and if you want to put in a couple of aviation frequencies, they will be received in FM mode.
- Baofengs can be programmed with free software.
- Many times, you can purchase a radio with the cable at little to no extra cost
- Voice Menus are the biggest perk of owning a Baofeng.
