It's a great 100W SSB radio for the money - but if you need good loud blasting AM as well ..... ya gotta pick something else.

CANCEL. Could not find a used one for sale - Bought New

I myself am not familiar with the UV-5K's (with the hidden menu) as coming in a Baofeng. I have a UV-5K (which has been widely reviewed here) - and it is a Quansheng.

Naw, one of these. They are still made. The one you're referring to and the Sadelta's are good but getting old and people usually want too much for them.

Anybody have one of these or similar you're not using and want to sell?

Have new setup here. Different radio for more power - Untimely demise of antenna due to water incursion and corrosion in the guts so new antenna as well. Everything seemed basically okay but experienced a bit higher SWR in places and varying power levels than expected. Was fixed with the last...

So after 5 years of being beaten around by storms etc ..... my Sigma Venom from the guys in England developed an SWR. Limping along with it for now until replacement arrives as I have a tuner which is making the match fine and protecting the radio. Happy with the Venom otherwise so I was going...

There is a very neat Worldwide Net which meets daily in the afternoons (North America) for the purpose of Checking Propagation on the upper HF Bands to your area. It is a fast-paced Round Table with various Net Controllers taking check-ins and gives every station a chance to call out and see who...

So anywho I just ordered this Adapter from Scotts. Not many peeps seem to be carrying them. Wallcott has one with a 6 inch cord extender to it for twice the price ..... so I'm getting this Standard Adapter from Scott's ..... despite the fact that his website does not indicate In Stock or not nor...

I hear that ...... well I don't think these radios are pretending to be 955's. Perhaps the best things are the Price Point and the 15 Meter Gift.
