Matt GumbleyDoes anyone have a view on what is the best external speaker/mic with a Kenwood K1 for a <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/Baofeng" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Baofeng</a> or <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/Quansheng" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Quansheng</a> radio? A relatively inexpensive one - I know there’s a Kenwood KMC-45D but it’s a tad pricey (although probably very good). <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/HamRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HamRadio</a>

⛰🌲Randy Walters🌲⛰On top of everything else, I’m a licensed ham radio bug.My call sign is K2OOI (I’m a huge Stanley Kubrick fan) but it’s actually not what it looks like. FCC regulations dictate that the last three characters in this format have to be exactly that – characters, not numbers.So while it *looks* like 2001, it’s actually 2ooi.

Bryce BelcherThe only thing so far that I don't like about the <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Baofeng" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Baofeng</a> BF-F8HP (the newest seventh generation model) is that it does not read any of the menus. Aside from me finding out myself I was doing more research on YouTube about it. The voice guidance will read everything else, except for the menus. This means you won't be able to hear about the GPS setting, the CTCSS settings, and other stuff on the radio. Hopefully btech will release a firmware update to fix this. Because it seems like all the other models do so, like the UV5R and the UV5G plus radios. <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Accessibility</a>

OE3FKGI got myself a new radio. A <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/Baofeng" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Baofeng</a> UV-3R because I wanted a REALLY tiny radio for my every day backpack and <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/Yaesu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Yaesu</a> and all the others have nothing as small as the UV-3R.But programming that thing drives me nuts already. Not because of the Software. Oh no, it works with CHIRP. But because of the damn cable.My multi-radio cable has the matching plug but it won’t allow CHIRP (and the original software) to communicate with the device.
