[App_rpt-users] DMK URI and Baofeng Radios

[Kirk Just Kirk]

Seriously?????
You can spend $30 on a Baofeng (Chinese Crap)
You can spend $30 on a 2 Channel Motorola Radius/Maxtrac (decent radio)
Why would you even think of using a Baofeng?
Where you going to get DISCRIMINATOR audio?
The Baofeng will sound like crap (warmed over)
