PROGRAM YOUR BAOFENG

​    SO you went out and bought a Baofeng radio, but what do you do now? Why get one? They function much like a CB, less expensive, and easy to use. It probably won’t replace the CB any time soon, but is a great alternative.  One of the key benefits is that a spotter can communicate with the driver directly.
Our Model: BF-F8HP there are cheep ones but like anything in life you get what you paid for.
