My Handheld VHF Died

[Don S/V ILLusion]

I am probably going to order this and give it a try with my Boefeng. For $16.99 with Amazon Prime it won't bother me if it is no better. The radio works pretty well for my purposes as it is.

I think you will find it makes a big difference. "Most folks" do

That is the same one I have and it makes a large difference. Money well spent.

O

shemander: I am very suspicious of that WTF option! Chief

that's the new feature Wet to Talk Function. You dung it and it still work. So WTF is very useful if one is careless handling a handheld.
