Hi Kent, The UV-82 is the most recent model from Baofeng. For many on the list, most have used the UV-5R model. I have two of them and have no sight whatever, so I can field program them without much difficulty. It depends on your budget. For $30 you can give it a try before paying more for the TH-F6. 73.

Hi List, I am still looking for a handheld VHF/UHF transceiver and leaning somewhat toward the TH-F6A. I want to explore the Baofeng handhelds before making a decision. Does anyone know what is the most current model for a VHF/UHF handheld? Opinions are certainly welcome. Thanks a bunch, Kent, KK4FFF, Clyde NC
