Overview
A hunting camp, a storm go-bag or a backcountry trip suits these BAOFENG radios, which share GPS position over APRS while monitoring weather alerts. Ten zones organize hundreds of channels, and three antennas trade reach for portability.
GPS tracking, higher power and wide receive coverage give experienced users a lot in one handset. The maker says it is for professionals, it does not support CHIRP, and its programming software does not run on a Mac.
Who it's for
Licensed operators, search teams and serious preppers who already know CPS programming. New users who want simple setup should look at beginner radios.
Pros and cons
- GPS and APRS built in
- High transmit power
- Three antenna choices
- Zone-based channel organization
- No CHIRP support
- Programming software not for Mac
- Channel count differs across fields
Performance notes
Higher power and the longer antenna stretch range, while the stubby antenna favors portability. APRS sends position at set intervals, which uses battery faster than plain listening.
