Baofeng Tech Announcement

Lots more info, but still a bit of a teaser...

Our future.
 

A new era of communication has arrived.

 

One radio for ALL the things you do:
2 / 23 / 15
Part 90, Part 95a, Part 95J certified. For multi-purpose use on FCC Part 90, 95, and 97


"You are the FIRST to get a glimpse at what is coming VERY SOON!
 
So why all of the fuss you may be asking? We have been working very hard and are bringing FOUR completely new radios out for every user. We have taken your feedback and are introducing the WORLD'S FIRST radios to be completely multi-user capable - including GMRS and MURS pre-programmed capabilities. 
 
You didn't think we would just stop there did you? Since we have the best FANS we also are including: Crossband Repeater Capabilities, Dual Simultaneous Receivers, 6 Band Reception, NOAA Weather Channels and Alerts, 7 Encoding and Decoding Methods, and Upgradable Firmware. There is still so much more to be revealed!
 
This is only the start of our radio revolution - the official details and announcement are only a week away - TRUST US; the anticipation is killing us too!

  2. I guess we are going to be the beta testers for another make/model. What's funny is they release a new radio every month and we always buy them. Don't get me wrong...These radios are the best bang for your buck but why are we (The end use) the ones who find all the issues. Don't they have some sort of R&D dept? Count me in cause i will buy one :)

  3. Baofeng radios are painful to listen to.Most using them are barely audible,mushy modulation.
    Hopefully these newer models have been improved.Otherwise,just more radio pollution.

  5. Needed:
    1.Better squelch tail handing. Hearing that rip every transmission is so irritating after just a short time.
    2. Interchangable batteries between models. You tried once but that was it. And it was only half way done. (Get out the Dremel)
    3. A MANUAL THAT IS READABLE IN ENGLISH AND USEFUL!!! That has NEVER happened yet.
    4. Fast scanning rate. 2 or 3 a second is not sufficient.
    5. Don't put the belt clip on the batter (like one other has done already).

    Thanks for the crossband.

    Will wait for more...

  6. I thought they weren't called Baofeng anymore but something else? Pofunk or something. There was a big whooptydoo about that a while back.

      Not really sure what happened to the rebranding.
