Episode #13, Baofeng UV-5R Gear Review
In episode #13 we do a review of the most popular radio in prepper circles, probably for the very low cost of the radios. However, the stock "rubber duck" antenna is the cause of frustration for many who have purchased this radio. A simple antenna upgrade increases the performance of this radio greatly. Nagoya makes several which are very appropriate for this radio, but be careful, there are a lot of counterfeits out there. We'll tell you how to tell the difference in the genuine and the counterfeits.Links mentioned in the podcast:www.baofengtech.comEmail us at:info@practicalprepping.infoOur website:www.practicalprepping.infoFind us on FacebookPractical PreppingCheck out Jonica's Bakery On The Lake for some awesome Christmas goodies shipped directly to your door.See some beautiful custom monogrammed gifts, Christmas Shirts and baby items at Linden Lane Designs.
