I placed my order on FEB 22. I got confirmation today (FEB 28) that it was shipping.

I have a UV-5r on the way too and I'll be doing a companion review, as well.

Mole - have you tried to get the 220mHz band on your Baofeng+3?
That would only be uber-cool if you can repeat what he did!

Join the UV-3R and UV-5R Yahoo user groups.

There are discussions on this topic. I wouldn't expect much performance or efficiency on 220.

The gentleman's claims of full power output sounds dubious.
