First, many thanks to Baofeng Tech for sending this radio to me!
I usually post about how I like getting radios in bright colors, so I didn't think I would be a big fan of the new camo Baofeng versions. Well, I was wrong. I really like the way this camo UV-82 looks. My pictures do not do it just. I'll have to figure out a better way to show off the pattern.
A jack of many hobbies and a master of none - spending lots of time on amateur/ham radio, running, and technology.
