Mike, from what I can see, that's the UHF radio. Rugged Radios has both versions.

So order the VHF model from rugged.

For those of us who don't have the 300$$ to drop for a radio what is the best one to get?

Please post a link when someone figures out the best one to buy. I'm ok with the rugged unit esp if it does both

If you want a VHF only radio I'd get this one:http://www.universal-radio.com/catal...xvrs/2900.html

And a dual band this one:http://www.universal-radio.com/catal...xvrs/0790.html

Both require a simple mod to transmit in the areas where you will need. These are cheaper, easier to program, and easier to get aftermarket parts for than the Vertex series. The Vertex is a little tougher unit as they are for public service/business.

Here's the instructions for the 2900 mod:http://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/y...ars-mod.44185/

Thanks for all the info!

My BaoFeng was delivered today, but apparently the programming cable comes straight from China (or Korea?) because it was shipped separately and is supposed to be here between 9/3 and 9/22. Looking forward to the programming/install clinic, Tony!

Same thing to me Barry !!

Barry, I saw that when I was ordering. I ordered from a different company and will get it at the same time as the radio. Supposed to get everything on Sat.
