Review on High Power 8W BAOFENG GT-3TP Two Way Radio for Adults, Long Range Walkie Talkie with 3800mAh Extended Rechargeable Li-ion Battery, Includes Earpiece and Car Charger by Michael Barrett

Thank you Revain. I was happy with the first one I bought. Then I ordered a second one, but there was no antenna in the kit. I complained and Revain refunded me the full amount including shipping costs, duties and taxes that I paid in my country! That gives me a lot of confidence when I buy from Revain. A few weeks ago I wrote a glowing review of the same radio I bought from Radioddity (see section below). I liked it so much that I bought a second one. It arrived this morning in a much smaller box than expected. Apparently there was no room in the box for the Radioddity antenna. The content description states that it contains an antenna. How am I supposed to use this radio if it doesn't have the antenna that was promised in the box? This time I am very disappointed with Radioddity. I have several Baofeng VHF/UHF Portables and about a dozen Yaesu, Icom and Kenwood VHF/UHF HT. When I first started buying Baofeng, I didn't take the products seriously because they are so cheap. I just bought them out of curiosity. Of my baofengs, this one from Radiodity stands head and shoulders above the others. The battery lasts a long time, the sound is loud with a good combination of bass and treble. If I go on a long trip I would take my more powerful Yaesu, Icom or Kenwood HT because they can do more like wider reception, plane, altitude etc and can work in those modes like APRS. For a day hike this GT-3 TP is all I need, especially when push comes to shove and damage could happen. This one is cheap enough to just swap out with another new one. I'm considering getting a second one. Just for fun, not because I need it. 73
