Dave Lee (thelovebug) says: Baofeng naming conventions
RE: hpr4673::2026-07-01 First contact conversation by Archer72from the series HAM radio.00:30:04 Listen in ogg, opus, or mp3 format.
I've just realised that your Baofeng BF-F8HP is essentially the same as the Baofeng UV-5RTP. The latter was the first radio I ever bought, even before I got my license, and the radio I made my first contact with. I don't use the UV-5RTP anymore, as there are _much_ better handheld radios around, but I'll never sell it as it reminds me of the start of my amateur radio journey.
If you want to keep the "5R" family, but something significantly more modern looking, then I would recommend the UV-5R Mini (or GT-5R Mini, or BF-5R Mini; it's the same radio). Combine that with the Nagoya NA-771 or a decent telescopic antenna, and you have a very usable (and better looking) handheld.
