Review on 📻 BaoFeng Tri-Band Portable Two Way Radio with Dual Antennas and Long-Lasting 3800mAh Battery by Jose Haskin

Warning! CHIRP will not work with this radio. I've tried every radio option available in CHIRP and I've tried every driver I can find. I'm using a quality $20 FTDI USB cable and still nothing. A google search shows that this problem has existed for over a year. Oddly, there is a Chinese website that sells the BF-R3 programming software for $25. So a $33 radio requires a $20 cable and a $25 programming app. Looks like a scam. I'll return the cable and just figure out how to use the radio in manual mode. It's probably worth returning the radio too.
