Cheap Comms - Baofeng Radios

[thedave1164]

I have a BNIB Baofeng UV-5R that I will give to someone that does not have a radio and has recently gotten their Ham license, or gets their license.

The tech license is a few hours of study/memorization and a test that you pay about $15 to take.

I have tested and programmed the radio.

I would take you up on that. I've been looking for the motivation to fully jump in...

Much appreciated! My grandfather passed almost a decade ago ago now and one of his great passions was amateur radio. While I didn’t have the capacity to take in his equipment when it needed to find a home, I did inherit his course materials, books, etc. I dug out the technicians handbook and took the home study this weekend so I plan on taking the test online within the next week or two. From what I’ve gathered, he was more interested in the shortwave/HF stuff...but I figured getting my toes wet in at least the 2M/70cm bands would be a good start to honoring his memory.
