It's good to note that the VHF 2nd harmonic frequency of 298.x MHz doesn't appear to be in the middle of a mil air band. This rig should be good to go in south Tampa... 73, Jon Pearl - W4ABC On 12/8/2016 1:43 AM, Bryan Fields wrote:

This is some testing for the harmonics and spectral purity of the popular Baofeng UV-5RA radio. This failed both amateur standards and commercial (part 90) standards for harmonic suppression.
I bought this off Amazon this week for 25 or 30 dollars. It's ok to receive with, but it's in no way legal to use for transmit.
