Many ham operators have a larger investment in radio equipment than in their guns.Oh, I know. But with a QSO card, no one has can easily link it to guns... like I said, I'm probably just paranoid, but I dont want my address tied with "owns guns" not because of the feds (I'm sure I am on a few watclists), bit because of crime.

I verified that on a new production GT-3TP yesterday. The GT-3TP is still my favorite version of the Baofengs.It's absurdly easy to unlock them. Hold PTT, monitor, and VFO (I think it's those three) while turning the power on.
The first two radios I bought were GT-3, then I bought a GT-3TP... They are just UV-5R and BF-F8HP in fancy clothes, as you know... That's fine, I like the nice clothes, but the negative is they use a different battery, making them more expensive now, and potentially less available if SHTF, when more preppers will have UV-5R types...I verified that on a new production GT-3TP yesterday.

Ham radio has made my gun budget shrink!Yes, this is another expensive hobby...
For me, guns made my ham radio budget shrink. I've been a ham for over 25 years, but got the pew-pew bug only 9 years ago.Ham radio has made my gun budget shrink!
Something is different about them because they sound better both in TX and RX than the others. Could just be mic and speaker placement design. They obviously use the same chipset as the BF-F8HP, but don't what else might be different at the component level. ...and yeah they are a little more ergonomic than the standard UV-5R style.The first two radios I bought were GT-3, then I bought a GT-3TP...
