I did pick up the GD-88 radio - cool display - I don't like the software that is included - mostly because I never used something other than Chirp to program a radio.

I did get a new replacement batteries for both my 82L(BAOFENG ) and the GD-88 - but after waiting a week I received an "oh - sorry" it be out of stock now on the GD-88 hardware. I picked up a spare set of higher end antennas that will help pull in some of those distant repeaters.

Looking forward to your detailed review!!!!

I'm tempted to get a BaoFeng since my old, purchased-used-in 2010 Yaesu FT-50 doesn't work right (knobs turning the knob for "down" actually makes frequency go up, etc).

But even $35 is a lot to spend on a throwaway. Especially when a new Yaesu HT is under $100 at HRO. The Yaesu might not have as large a frequency range as the BaoFeng but I think it will likely last longer.
