I am now a dealer for Baofeng radio's. I have put together a package with the Baufeng UV82HP, Nagoya NA-771, 15.6 Inch High Gain Antenna and BaoFeng QHM22 Platinum Series Speaker Mic. Price for one will be 169.00 and 5 or more 149.00. It will include free shipping and free programming*. All radios will be tested before shipping.
Standard free programming will by FRS and GMRS channels, BC RR channels, and Ladd channels. Extra channels (for all, you need to email me the info) will be 10 for the first radio and 5 for the next ones.
I have been using these all season and have been very pleased with them.
Things to note
1. If you are riding deep pow and mic is constantly getting covered with snow you will need to put some type of sock over it. (not supplied). I just use a small plastic bag
2. I put mine in a Tupperware to protect it and having the PTT accidentally pushed.
3. I am only selling these as a package and not separately at this time.
4. Stock should be in late next week.
There have been to many cases this season with guys getting lost, one with tragic results. This radio are dual channel ( you can listen to channels at once) and dual frequency ( VHF and UHF). They will work with BCA radio and other radios using FRS and GMRS.
I would encourage each riding area to set up a emergency channel which you could monitor on channel B while each group could have there own frequency on channel A.
