I run a handbuilt BITX20 for HF fun almost exclusively these days, but I got started with a Baofeng and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to check the hobby out.
- JshWright 7y agoYeah, I'm always back and forth on Baofeng... At the end of the day, it's a very cheap, but (generally) functional HT. The downside though, is that they can be very frustrating in some environments (esp with a high noise floor, or with a strong transmitter nearby - the frontend is _very_ easy to overload), and they're generally pretty bad about spurious emissions (though the newer tri-band model seems pretty good in that regard).
