Hey Guys,
I'm brand new to this, just got my GMRS license after getting excited about some Moto Talk Abouts I purchased. I'm planning (researching) repeater options for the house and the truck when traveling.
I've come across these Baofeng 3's and 5's but can't find a real comparison between the 2. I just want it for the GMRS channels and Repeater channels and Frequencies.
What exactly is(are) the largest difference between the 2? Just program-ablity with the 5 and and battery capacity?
Any input would be appreciated, THANKS!
PS, the other reason I was interested in these guys is the fact you can swap out the Antenna, which would improve the range, which is also appealing to me with the GMRS line. I don't know much about that either, other that you increase "gain" which I don't know how that is acquired, but will educate myself in that aspect as well lol. Thanks again.
