If someone wants those functions then it's worth it but for me $30 Baofeng has everything I need an HT

True

According to ICOM there are no parts available to repair a 706MKIIG. I have a dead one sitting on the shelf.

Kenwood TS-50

I had the extra wires on the PDL2 I had up years ago, I saw no improvement at all. Not worth the effort.

He will be missed, prayers to his family!

yep

Correct it is 5w but little useable difference between five and ten

I just picked this up a couple of days ago, it's Tidradio H3. This could quite possibly be a Baofeng killer. Here are some highlights: - Small and light - Built-in Bluetooth - Adjustable mic gain with compression - Long battery life - USB-C charging - USB-C Programming - Supported by Chirp...

When signals bounce the polariztion flips, therefor it can seem like it's circular. Using horizontal polarized antenna will have less noise because most manmade noise is vertically polarized.

I agree, and decent ham rig will run circles around these so "exports"

I sent it, there is a PY file that you need to load in Chirp after you do the FW upgrade. Just turn on developer mode on Chirp and the go file, load module. Reach out if you have questions.

I would interested in your results to see if you get better AM RX.

I ike IJV firmware the best, it alows single band mode.

They are the same. The K6 is a K5 with a different screen color. I have this one and it has the best airband RX - https://www.radtels.com/products/radtel-rt-490-gps-6-bands-amateur-ham-two-way-radio-512ch-air-band-walkie-talkie-vox-dtmf-sos-lcd-color-police-scanner-aviation?variant=39994595901648
