Just can't say no to cheap Chinese radios

Just can't say no to cheap Chinese radios
- 4 more sets of the Baofeng 5R Minis. $35 for 2 radios is a steal. All the reviews on these have been good and the set I've had for about 2 weeks have been impressive. Threw one in my desk at work just in case and one in the car glovebox. USB-C makes these a no-brainer since my phone can reverse charge or I'm carrying a battery pack most of the time. Miles beyond my 1st HT - An Alinco DJ-180 that I got when I got my ticket in 1997. If you know any new hams starting out, you can't go wrong here.
- A set of the Tidradio TD-H3+ radios. I really like the older H3's and the bigger brother, the H8. I've seen the TD-H9 (the new H8 replacement with APRS) popping up on the Chinese sites so I would also like to see what changes were made with the H3+ since those might get carried over to the H9.
- Another DM32. Why not? Christmas gift for someone just starting to explore digital voice.
- 2 of the Radtel 27MHz extendable antennas for my 950 Pros. Want to test these in a real world application instead of seeing endless videos of "these transmit here and seem to be clean".
