Hi, I had to buy some parts for my Baofeng UV5R. There is a supplier out there for the parts needed. If you don't find it, write back and I'll get you the parts supplier. 73.

I know, they're $30 or so new on Amazon, but one was given to me, because the display showed wacked stuff, but all else works fine_ So it's a (_Perfect blind man's radio! Right?) Anyway, it came with a battery and earbud mic, but no ant, charger, nor cradle so I'm needing an ant and charger and cradle of some kind! Then, there's my 2.5 year old, 60$ uv5r from Import communications, which still works flaulessly, except it needs the little slotted nut/(feels more like a slotted washer,) which holds the Ant connecter to the radio, [much like the little nuts which held quarter inch audio plugs to their chassises or cases.] }I'd been using the ht attatched to a JPole antenna, via one of those barell SMA Male to SMA Female adapters; which was inadvertently over tightened, so that when it was removed, it took the slotted nut with it, without my noticing it until it was too late and the lil thing was gone:!} ***Now by this time, if you're thinking that the little slotted nut who's writing this might need to be replaced------We'll leave that for a night time round table discussion where King Arthur can moderate! (Come on! It's a joke! Knight time discussion, Round table, King Arthur!! Oh well, I tried! Mostly your patience?? ***********Anyway, as I was saying before I so rudely interupted myself, If you've got a dead uv5r or parts from one you'd sell or swap, please advise. 2, Warning, All you uv5R users, be careful with, and of, that nut!! 3, May the True,_ Real,_ Hope,_ Joy,_ and Reality,_ offered by HIM, WHOSE BIRTH is observed on this day, Become REAL To You, my dear blind ham friends!!
