    I've got no less than 6 HTs I don't use now. Can't imagine WTF I'd use another one for.

    Mullica Hill hamfest is in September. Some of these things are outta here.....

    Never say never.

    We use them here a bit especially if we're using two cars for whatever reason. Sarah has a license so we can hide on some obscure 440 simplex frequency if we want. We've used them a lot for floor to floor communication, ie adjusting antennas etc. That's the big reason I like the Baofengs. If I drop one off the roof and it explodes, whoop de doo. If I drop the VX-8 that I have, that's a FAR bigger loss.
