Per my request below thus far no info was received about manual programming the Baofung UV-82. so I just bought one from http://baofengradio.us/products/ . The houston distributor Chase was at our last general membership meeting and gave out 15% discount coupons. ( local Texas residence use code redemption bvarc ) at checkout. Total was $40.09 shipped to the door. Im way too lazy to drive over to beltway in SW to pick it up with the free shipping. I've seen the radio sell on Ebay "buy it now" for 38 bucks but for his 1 year in house warrenty for parts/ labor or replacement the tax as in houston is not a problem. Anyway let me know if you have one and if you self manual program it. I will tell the story soon.BTW- The UV-82X VHF/220 model is not in stock in Houston but I buzzed his ear to stock them. The UV-82X sells for about 8 bucks more. 73 Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Stone via BVARC To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, September 15, 2014 9:00 AM Subject: [BVARC] Baofang UV-82 info needed
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. 73 Bill WS5H ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ BVARC mailing list [email protected] http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this message.
