So I recently moved and somehow managed to lose the charger and base for one of my UV-82 radios . Although I still had one, I knew I needed another as a spare (one-no, two-one). Found this "original" desktop charger from Revain at a good price. He arrived right on time. Then I tried it on one of the real radios. It didn't fit - the hole in the charging station was slightly larger than one of my actual original charging stations. No matter what I did, I couldn't fit the radio in well enough to…
