A test / quick review of the Baofeng GT3 MK 2 dual band radio, testing this radio against my other hand held radios in my collection.

3 and 6 miles VHF audio recordings made from all radios, all radios setup the same, including power levels and deviation.

The cheaper Baofeng and Wouxun radios are great value for money whilst the audio from the more expensive radios is better, to my ears anyway.

Check Ebay and Amazon for the latest prices, all of these radios are still available to purchase at the time the video was made.
