Re: [chirp_users] HT Recommendations

I like my UV-5R, but I also just ordered the BTECH UV-5X3 tribander when it was on sale on Amazon yesterday. I like that it's compatible with all the UV-5R stuff, and it's supposed to have lots of improvements.

A recent addition to our radio club is looking for something to get him on the local repeaters. Woxun and Baofeng come to my mind as good starter radios that don't cost much and work reasonably well. Which HTs would you recommend based on ease of programming, with Chirp of course, reliability, and low cost? Thanks!
