Do you want tater tots?

Do you want coleslaw?

Do you want apple slices?

Do you want some fried macaroni and cheese bits?

But the radio itself, so it does everything a Baofeng UV5R does, and I'm just using that because most people are pretty familiar with the UV5R.

It's ubiquitous.

UHF, VHF, analog communications, two-way walkie-talkie, basically.

It is GPS-enabled.

You can program it with a computer, although I found there are certain things you cannot program with a computer.

There is a firmware update out there because the FCC has decided to make it where these radios can't be imported if they're allowed to transmit in a certain frequency band in between the two that they say it's okay to.

So that you have to jump a canyon basically of things you can't transmit or receive on.

But there is a firmware update on the interwebs somewhere that you can unlock that.

You can do APRS communication, you can do digital LMR communication, and you can do encrypted digital communication.

Again, all two-way voice or APRS with this radio.

And at a base level, if you don't want a bunch of extra accessories, you're looking at somewhere around 50-ish bucks for one of them.

Yeah, that's around 50 ish.

Yeah.

And that's on Amazon.

And I'll let you tell the story of how long it took for you to get yours.

That was well played.
