dogfish, Did you ever decide what your next step will be? Any other questions you have? Anyone else have any, "HAMMY", things to talk about? This seems like a good topic to keep going!

New radio that has GPS too. A bit pricier, but with GPS, programing cable, and two batteries not too bad:

Not mentioned in the 5 watt vs 8 watt discussion: heat and duty cycle. The tiny HTs can only dissipate so much heat, and you might run into issues with higher wattages if you expect to be a heavy user.
I had a 5 watt handheld and during long conversations, it became too hot to hold. Aside from that, if you key up for too long on a radio with a short duty cycle, you risk burning out the components. The Baofengs are good value for the money, so I hear, but an ICOM or Yaesu is likely to handle more abuse. |

I think for what they do, and what they cost, and if you know their limitation they are a good value. _________________ http://nwfood.shelfreliance.com "The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it."

I can tune to this freq, but is the tone of 103.5 mean my little won't be able to hear them?
