    FSR Radios for BC

    Boafeng advises on their site that their new radios are amatuer bands only, and aren't able to use the 150-151.67 MHz bands.


    What cheap radios do people recommend for listening to FSR calls?

    Thanks!

    I have a boafeng I use on fsr in my sxs. I also have a fixed mounted radio in my truck the range of the boafeng is not the best but for 10km range works well

    Most of the threads are recommending the Boafeng UV5R, but don't mention that the new ones can't hit the RR frequencies.
    So I'm wondering if there is a new equivalent of the Boafeng that can.

    I have the bf 8's from Baofeng.
    All good here, and once programmed, get all the RR channels to listen in on.

    I have a wouxun unit. Works well, hits RR frequencies. Front face programmable.
    The only thing I like as much as trucks, is guns.

    Icom BC-213 is what I have, basic model, they programmed it for me, all the RR channels I need for region 3-8....250 bucks.
    If I wanna go to region 7 and dodge traffic they will program those channels you require for free.
    I am in the bush everyday dodging logging trucks etc, works good.
    Step up to the next model was 400 bucks IIRC, you can have more channels and program it yourself.
