I haven’t, and Bofeng has another radio that looks like a more similar replacement to the U5R, being the UV-82. I don’t have that one either, and am not terribly exited about eitherr radio, having a UV5 currently. There are a couple others I *am * interested in though, but can’t justify buying one yet.
