Okay, I don't actually know that this is THE ONE, but Hans points out some differences between the UV-5R and the pretty GT-3. John is taking one for the team and going to try a GT-3 out to see if it is just different or actually better.
And the Baofeng website says it is the one, so there is that.

Okay, the video is a commercial for a Droid phone, but it tells a short story that I actually liked. Since I liked it, I'm rewarding them with this post.

That was quick.
I ordered one of those cheap Baofeng UV-5R radios today. It was delivered in about 30 minutes using Amazon's new Prime Air service.
Baofeng UV-5R: $30.99 Free Shipping
The Amazon Lightning Deal on the Baofeng UV-5R is for $30.99 plus free ship. I was hoping for a crazier half-off type deal.
