Thought I'd pass along to anyone even remotely interested in picking one of these radios up that last night I was able to participate in net sessions in Peru, Marion, and Noblesville from my abode in Windfall on my Baofeng UV-5RE. These repeaters are anywhere from 25-35 miles from my location....and I was using the stock antenna. Sure, it's not in the same class of HT my Yaesu VX-6R is in but its still pretty darn good for less than $50!
Thanks again to Sailor for hooking me up with a freq list for the CHIRP software!
