    Which BaoFeng is the one to get? There is one for $26 and there is one for $62. Is the more expensive one worth buying or will the cheaper one do just as well for what we were using it for on trail? I will be using the nagoyo antenna.

    The more expensive one is the second version of the cheaper one and has the large battery. I recommend the large battery with either radio you go with. Mine was last charged over 6 months ago and held the whole weekend.

    The cheap one (UV-5R) will be fine. Add the
    Headphone Adapter Charger Adapter 3.5mm Square Jack Dongle Earphone Aux Audio & Charge Compatible
    power adapter to have as a backup.

    I could. Loud and clear. Only issue I had was that I couldn't respond since I didn't have the Nagoya antenna. Going to be ordering two of them though.

    If anybody is looking to take it up a notch, there is also
    SainSonic GT-890 Mini Dual Band Car Radio, VHF/UHF 136-174/400-480MHz 25W/20W Mobile Transeiver, with programming cable, Black
    this radio. Fits nicely in the cubby forward of the shifter if you get this
    $6 DHT Electronics RF coaxial Coax Adapter UHF Male PL259 to Female so239 Right Angle
    antenna cable adapter.
    Throw a mag-mount antenna on the roof and call it good. This
    $7 Roadpro 12V Fused Replacement Cigarette Lighter Plug with Leads (RPPS-225),Black
    power adapter makes the whole mess portable. Much better range.

    I know the one that @jAndyMendo let me borrow was a Yeasu. Worked great! Until i strted drunk dialing.....:rolleyes:. They are pretty spendy from what i saw. Those yellow ones seemed pretty good too i think. No?
    I think the better antenna makes a big difference

    You only need that cable if you plan to geek out programming it. I'd be happy to program your radio for you. You can manually key in the frequency you need on an as-needed basis, so it really isn't necessary.
