So as you can see I picked one of these up for short money. I love old school gaming. And this one delivers. It has the original Mario Brothers, Xevious, Dig Dug, Burger Time, Elevator Action among its 500 games.
Here’s me with the unit turned on and showing it off. I like it. Great fun in a handheld that is rechargeable with a standard USB cable.
Yes, another one. I already have a Yaesu VX-7R which is a quad band radio. Pretty cool but I really only use 2m and 70cm for the most part. Then I have a dedicated 1.25m radio if only because the VX-7R is limited to 300mW on 1.25m
But I’ve always been interested in the Baofeng radios. The successor to the UV-5R was recently introduced, the GT-3.

I like the feature set that the GT-3 has – it improves upon some of the shortcomings of the UV-5R most notable the display, the manual, etc. The specifications are also pretty good – it’s got a more sensitive and selective receiver in it.
But the best part – $45. Seriously – Iove that the Chinese are starting to eat into the market that the Japanese had held for years. And consider too they’re doing it at a serious discount. The Japanese radios were never cheap. My VX-7r was $350.
