Can these double as an open air microwave oven for camping trips? Asking for a friend.
Yes, absolutely LOL
I have the new baofeng and occasionally talk to the martians on mars. And only 1million watts. It does get my head a little warm when I transmit but hey it works LOL ;)
Make sure you log it. I do not have a Madenhead Map for Mars yet!
Maybe the watts is input watts. Does it say output?
On batteries? 🤣😂
I bought 3 of these 12000w radio's, linked them together with some wet wire, a dead rat's tail and some hot glue and I talked to Xenu himself, in the outer reaches of the Gentoo Nebula....beat that people..I am being picked up next week by the Tegeeack Squadron leader himself, to be taken to my new life with the snot people of Detritis Jaundace 3
I hope you got all that in your Logbook! LOL
I have the Baofeng GM- 5RH, and when I bought it online, it turns out that I got sold a different unit. I was supposed to get the Baofeng AR-5RM. It also did not describe in the description that it was a GMRS radio only. So it means it’s “Locked” And There is not a way to unlock it. I wouldn’t have bought it if I knew it wouldn’t run ham frequencies.
I buy all my radios from Azazon and when it's not exactly what I want I send it Back! I am aware of this type of Baofeng and I am not aware of a work around.
Does the nation of England have different radios than the USA ?
No they are Lying! It is BS! LOL
same radios but they do have different specs. We have different frequencies than those in the UK can use. So usually what happens is the factory will make the same radios but the ones they sell in the UK will have a different frequency set than the ones in the USA. A lot of times it's a simple solder job inside to remove or bridge something somewhere on the board to open up the radio to the other frequencies.
oh if you buy a uk radio in the USA sometimes companies won't cover the warranty for some reason. They should but they won't. They call them gray market radios.
