We have been running Baofeng UV-5Rs on the farm and in our mobiles for several years. Great performers EXCEPT the 4 watt output limits our range. Just bought a BTech U25 40 watt amplifier for our base to try it out. If it does a good job, I'll buy another for my mobile.
There is a lot of UHF traffic in Medellin. 470.95 is the contact channel most operators use. Taxi dispatchers use 464.95 and taxi operators use 469.95. Never a lot of traffic on these freqs (not many taxis have 2-way radios), so if I jump in askings for directions, some cabbie always comes back to help. Many home and mobile stations, but in town very limited range. Still, a lot of fun
