I have a Baofeng UV-82 I like those because you can program it and use it for RR channels to talk with loggers ext.


BCA radios are good quality but only for "family" channels

Garmin Rhinos are good if your friend all run them too, for the tracking feature. cant talk to loggers though.



Those are the most popular 3 Sled radios id say

Go to Brian Cavanaugh for the baeofangs he's a beauty - I just picked up the cord and software to program for the baeofangs off eBay for cheap - gonna give that a go soon - I want more privacy channels on mine - rather than just 4.20 or 10.4 etc

Glad you purchased from RGM he is good to deal with and those radios won't dis-appoint you. I like to see people purchase from site advertisers rather than others who try for sales off the site for the advertisers are what keep the site going.

Any of you guys using the Trail teck GPS system that Polaris uses? It seems to let you track your buds. How do you like it ?
