But then something funny happened, I started using the Baofeng GT-3TP and found it was actually a pretty good radio!

If you plan on doing a lot of hiking and using the radio without being back at your car to charge it up, we highly suggest this option. VOX Function: Enjoy handsfree operations with the built-in VOX function of the portable walkie talkies. I was expecting the orange sides to be made of a grippy rubber type material, it is not, but it does have some texture in places that help you hang on to the radio. The manual programming isn’t the most intuitive and some functions simply do not work as the instructions claim. Same issue with film ware have 3 different GT3 radios when uploaded from CHIRP one radio can not here anything on the other.I really liked the looks and specs of the Baofeng GT-3TP when I first saw them online so it didn’t take long for me to have one delivered so I could play with it.

If a cell phone can hold a 3000+ mAh battery, there is no reason that radio manufacturers can’t do the same. Bottom line: you will get a nice radio with upgraded chipset, a few Watts more output power, a good antenna and good looks. This is a short review – the Baofeng GT-3TP from Sainsonic is essentially a GT-3 Mark II with some extra power on board. What I found really interesting with the Baofeng GT-3TP dual band was the transmit audio and signal quality.But I would recommend passing this radio up for a BF-F8HP instead, so that you can interchange batteries with other operators in a pinch (every ham I know has at least one UV-5r or BF-F8HP), and so that you can avoid possible QC rumors.
