very intriguing suggestion... i'd gladly buy baofeng as a "toy" to tinker with, but i want somthing durable and dependable... Lots of hams I know are buying them to put in "bug out bags", keep one in each car, etc. They are small, cheap and run on rechargable lithium batteries so they don't run down when sitting on a shelf. I don't have one myself but I have been told they are very easy to use and program. BTW, the Woxoun is sold by Yaseu, but they changed the features slightly. :-) i would not be confident about that thing holding up. also want somthing i dont have to struggle with learning how to use. my goal is to use it to work the local hams and to have somthing when the power goes out. i'm in north nj, and my power where i live has gone out for over three days twice in a two year period because our substation is by a river. this last storm wiped out the power by me and it is still out in my town. Personally in that case I would look into older Motorola gear. Lots of parts, plenty of support in the ham community, and almost indestructible. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
