Baofeng Radios
8/26/26
The Baofeng UV 82 radios purchased now will not transmit on our frequency, 160.425 MHz.
These radios are sold for use by amature radio operators. Our band is notlicensed to them.
There are other radios that may work, although I have not tried them.
Here are two links to radios that MAY work. No guarantees.

Here is the link to the Baufeng Radio that we have been using for $19.99
It comes with a battery, Charger and antenna. You will have to order the external MicSpeaker separately. You do not need the programming cable. I can do that.
