Actually, don't believe that. There is some kind of distributor war happening, and you should not trust any claims about which Baofeng distributor model is "upgraded" or has "the latest" chipset, because it seems they all share the same guts, one of the distributors is shipping a marginally newer version of the chipset which makes no substantial difference, and one model which has an extra button or two. Since it's all the same guts, and pretty much the same chipset, the most inexpensive and basic model you can find will be the best choice. There is no point in spending an extra ten dollars for something which offers no actual improvement over another.
