Good point. Too bad there's not an app for that.

TH-K20A is handheld I have and love it. Also go a 5/8 wave rubber duck that you can order with what you want the center frequency....

Did a quick temporary install into my platinum (since I'm waiting to trade it in when my raptor comes in). Works amazing.

Baofeng changes name to Pofung

Radio supplier Baofeng has changed its product distribution
name to Pofung for all sales outside China. In an
announcement on its website the company says that it feels
it's time to adapt its brand to the global stage. It notes
that the current name Baofeng is a literal translation of
it's Chinese character name, and as such it may be difficult
for a hobbyist elsewhere in the world to pronounce. The
company say that its new product name of Pofung is easier to
pronounce and more friendly to its customers, while
maintaining the phonetic symbolism of its brand. The
company's official web domain www.baofengradio.com will
remain unchanged.
