It is said on the internet that the Baofang or the newer name change Pofung
UV-82 VHF/UHF radio is programable ( self manual field entering of repeaters
and simplex freq's) without the use of a PC and program cable. Anyone own this
HT and can tell me if the menu for manual programming is really as good as say
Yaesu or Icom HT's. In the past I frowned about China radios however now that
Yaesu and other name brand HT's are made in China this radio is lookin good for
replacing my older HT's. For about a bit more the price of a name brand HT
battery a complete VHF / UHF radio can be had. I also noticed a not so
mentioned UV-82X is sold that is a VHF / 220 mkz. This if the radios are self
programmable could make 220 band affordable. Please give me your field report
for manual programming of this radio.
