[QUOTE="kd5rjz, post: 2681059, member: 2115"] I bought the UV-82x a while back so I would have an inexpensive 144/220 HT to have in the truck. The radio has a reverse SMA connector, so I have to make a custom cable to go to PL259 to connect to my roof mounted antenna. It does what it advertises and has no problem keying up a repeater and puts out a few hundred mW shy of the advertised 5W. With Chirp, anyone can easily program the radio - though it is a royal pain to modify anything from the radio itself. The receiver isn't that great but good enough for FM repeaters, though if Baofeng made a SSB HF rig I don't see myself ordering one. I do have an Icom IC207H I usually use, but it lacked 220, hence the need for the Baofeng. [/QUOTE]
