Baofeng GT-3: BF-E500S

Thanks to Nate for pointing out the first revision of the GT-3 revision of the UV-5R: BF-E500S at the 409Shop for $49 USD.



I'd pay a few bucks more to get the GT-3 based on the looks alone. Yikes. And I continue to be amazed by the creative model numbers. This one sounds like the latest Mercedes.

  1. Any internal changes from the GT-3? It's less money!

    1. I couldn't say for sure if it has the new chips like the GT-3. If I had to guess, I would say yes - but that is pure speculation. I did not see the BF-E500S on the Baofeng website.
