Anytone has come out with the AT-3318UV-A handy talkie. I think they might be popular so prepare for some inquires about support. Personally I won't beat an Anytone radio with a stick after finding out how paranoid they are about releasing any service data. And I have friends about a mile from me that sell and service the Hytera digital LMRs that are well capable of working on handy talkies but I'll be damned if Anytone would fork over some service literature even after I made them a video of inside the shop and all the General Dynamics R8000 radio monitors, spectrum analyzers and other gear worth hundreds or thousands of dollars. Anytone was paranoid their radio would be counterfeited if schematics were given out. So as someone who works on the stuff I consider all of these Chinese radios throw aways when they break.

If Dan wants a radio, I can make one available.
Actually, it would be easier for me to Paypal him $41 and have him order 1. :) It would cost me 1/2 that to ship it to him.
Donations are always appreciated, and hardware donations help us ensure that things _continue_ to work. If you're serious about that donation, I think it should be made to Jim Unroe. He's done a huge amount of work on the other Baofeng radio drivers and has the best understanding of them I think. Perhaps you and a couple of other V6 owners could pool some donations and buy Jim a radio? At $41, it wouldn't take much :)
