I picked up this little Baofeng UV3R ham transceiver for $60.00. It comes with two antennas, both are junk. The radio will not preform well with them. I added a MFJ 14 inch antenna, boy what difference. I hit repeaters 12 miles during bad propagation and way further late in the day. I only work 2 meters, not tried 400mhz yet. Battery goes forever! Best little ham I’ve owned, on the cheap. My son is getting too, it’s that neat.
