[QUOTE="MyMonkey, post: 2112525, member: 3945"] Well folks, I ordered the Boafeng UV-5R Plus. Under $50 shipped from Amazon next day with Prime. I realize this is a cheapo but it was so cheap i could not pass it up. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/img.photobucket.com_albums_v247_MyMonkey_BaofengUV_5R_zpsa6096ead.jpg[/IMG] Thus far, I have only been able to hear static on most channels. 161.700 had the CBS evening news on and 162.400 has the weather loud and clear! Not sure wether I can reach the local repeaters in OKC or Edmond just yet. Remains to be seen whether the radio is decent or not but it was rated highly. So, I imagine I just type in the local repeater number? There may well just be nobody on. Oh well. Just wanted to share. CB still to come. :) [/QUOTE]
