Finally a good GPRS radio

[Bill's Workbench]

I am sure these have been discussed, but I wanted to share my experience with the great little Baofeng G Mini GMRS handheld radios.

I picked these up for a few reasons:
1. Needed them tomorrow morning.
2. I heard good things about Baofeng
3. Price

These did not disappoint. They worked as expected and were easy to get up and running.
* Easy to set up
* Charge using USB-C-compliant and non-compliant cables. This one was a bigger deal than I thought.
* I was able to understand the person over the air; they were able to understand me
* They clip well to the clip that holds on the roof. (The curved metal one)
* They are small and light, fit in a normal pocket
* I got all-day battery life the last couple times I used them.

Overall, I am happy with them and wanted to share.

Those are good radios. Our crew uses Baofeng, since it's what our radio guy uses, and he also happens to be the radio guy for the local PD, so he does all of the programming for us.
