[Trukker]

We were up at Grizzly Lodge and could hear the Log Haulers calling from kilometer 2 was about 35 k away . We were on top of the Valley but non the less impressive range

Is the reception and range better than the BCA??

Short answer YES. Long answer, BCA 2 watts , Baofeng 8 watts. BCA UHF only, Baofeng UHF and VHF, VHF is generally better out doors. BCA antenna short and not removable, when it is in your pack between your shovel blade and body where is the signal going to go? With the Baofeng antenna are removable so you can put on a high gain antenna. Isupply an extra 16" long whip antenna that you can stick out the top of you pack.

Yes, very happy with them. Originally ordered a dozen for our group and then had to order another dozen because everyone was so impressed. Definitely a bonus with all the logging going on in our riding area...thanks Ray!

Dammit and I just got a BCA at the sled show lol. I was talking to my brother from the cut block in frisby and he was at the tower in boulder with another group, I dunno if that will happen again or the conditions were right.

I sent you a pm.

I saw that post but was wondering if Ray was supplying accessories, would be nice to purchase from him as I have done in the past for other things.

I asked about purchasing the antennas, but he wasn't selling them separate.

 

[Caper11]

I've thumbed through this thread quick and have noticed comments like master reset and putting them in a case in your pack.

I read there is a lock feature for the buttons.


Instead of reading the whole thread I'm just going to ask. Can you throw this in your pack like the BCA or do I have to do something special to it.

Thx

I put mine in a side pocket with a square bottle of water. It's a tight fit and doesn't move.
I also lock the key pad. Never had a problem.

 

[RGM]

I have just been putting mine in the top of my pack and making sure it is locked. If buttons get pressed you can hear it beep. My pack is pretty full so it doesn't get bounced around.

Thanks for the awesome service Ray. We will likely need to add some more to our fleet.

Only issue I have is trying to set the cts and ctcss interupter frequencies to talk to box brand hand helds.

 

[crashidy]

Only adjust the pl tonectcss or the t ctcs (same thing). Don't adjust the others. YouTube baofeng frs programming

I tried that, I just wish you could change it in CHIRP,..

Editing some 20+ channels through the Baofeng menu is very time consuming

 

[crashidy]

Set your frequency for main channel. Under "tone mode"column select "tone". Under tone column enter the subfrequency

or don't use CTCSS I see no reason to ever use them in the back country

I just ordered a couple of Nagoa 771 from Baofengtech. You can find antennas cheaper on Ebay or amazon but they could be fake knock offs. Order from Baofeng tech and you know you will get authentic antennas.
