Hello all, first thanks for your help. I have been reading the threads and have been learning alot. My job has two systems we use airband and work band we have mobiles that we can use that are preset to our two workbands but because of multiple people trying to use workbands we have a lot of bubble packs that we can use also. I thought it would be pretty useful to be able to use a radio that can be programmed for the workband freqs that we use and FRS/GMRS, plus i wanted a shoulder speaker. So i bought a Baofeng UV-5r 2 +. And now im hooked. The radio itself works great. For receiving, but i get a lot of static and sometimes a "robot like" voice when transmitting, and sometimes a delay when pressing ptt. Also distance is pretty poor. I dont know if its just the rubber ducky antenna that is my issue or if its something else. Maybe a DCS issue or another tone issue issue. My boss gave me premission and the freq and dcs tones but that is his only info. I have been looking at other radios and have even been studying for my tech license.
I am going ro order the Nagoya Na-701 8 inch. But i was also looking at the Baofeng UV-82C or the GT-3WP. I'm just not sure if either one of those would be an upgrade or not. Any ideas would be great. Thank you.
