## Questions & Answers

**Q: Which would you recommend more, this uv-82hp or the bf-f8hp?**
A: I own both. Offhand I prefer the feel of the UV-82HP.  Same with the keypad The BF-F8HP feels "overstuffed".

Advantage of the UV-82HP is the Dual PTT - Toggle up tor transmit on A and toggle down to transmit on B. Very nice for dual channel use

Disadvantage of the UV-82HP - MUST reboot to change between channel and VFO mode. I don't do that much - but it's annoying.

Menus pretty much the same.

I have become the "radio man" for our Boy Scout Camporees - and the BF-F8HP has a very nice bulk charger available. One base 6 or 8 radios. For a "field deployment" one power and one base sure beats 6 to 8 bases, cables, power warts. For that more than anything I've been procuring more BF-F8HP and that's what the staff is familiar with. I sure wish there was a bulk charger base for the UV-82HP.

**Q: Can you switch the backlight on and off manually? the automatic on/off drives me crazy(er).**
A: Using CHIRP, you can extend the backlight time out.

**Q: What would be the best transmitting antenna for these Baofeng radios? 150.00 mhz 400.000mhz I am talking about the best including pole mounts...**
A: The newest and best antenna with the best specs is the Authentic Genuine Nagoya NA-24J 16.2-Inch Ultra Whip VHF/UHF (144/430Mhz) Antenna SMA-Female for BTECH and BaoFeng Radios. Watch the YouTube videos about this antenna.

**Q: can alert tones from fire and ems be programed into this radio?**
A: There are still many areas that Public Safety Users are still VHF and UHF analog.  There IS NO REQUIREMENT to move to P-25 only narrow band.  
There are many benefits for P-25 and even more for P-25 phase 2 trunking.  But many many areas can not afford the cost of the systems.  A local county here can replace every radio and repeaters for about $80,000. They can upgrade to VHF P-25 for about $150,000. Or upgrade to a 7/800 P-25 phase 2 trunked system for about $3 million.
