Do we have frequencies that you always use when out on a run?

Or a few that are used so I can program my radio

Thanks

Info on that frequency 154.600

It's a Baofeng radio. Dual-Band 136-174/400-520 MHz

I was just more wondering if the group had any favorites they use out of all that are available. I would save those to memory.

That's an interesting radio... Ordered one to test it out.

BaoFeng BF-F8HD is the one I choose.

Reading all the reviews it was the one that seemed to have less failures. I originally ordered the BF-F9 but it arrived dead as the battery would not charge.

So I hope this one is better. I know you get what ya pay for with these little radios. I just don't have a need to use it enough to get a real radio.

If this one drops dead too I guess I will have to pay the piper and step up with the big boy radio :shock:
