This is the Bofang DF888, the BF888 if anybody's interested in looking it up. But the other small radio, you know, Bofang UV5 radios, they're pretty small. But I've got one even smaller than that that takes away the DTMF pad. You still get the screen and the speaker, but you don't have the DTMF pad. And that's the Bofang UV3R+. If you want a small little pocketable radio, but you still want to have a screen and you know, several hundred channels and stuff, but you don't need a DTMF pad, well, look at the UV3R+. Really cool radio I got a while back. But I'd say my favorite radio to use on the net would be the MD380, which I've got there. And the carry radio that I take with me, like in a backpack or something that got everything built into it would be the UVK5. The K5 is an awesome radio. And it covers from dusk to daylight. So if you're ever trapped in the woods and you just need to get a signal out or you need to listen to something, you know, the K5 is a good way to go. I really do like the MML8811 as well though. That's another really good radio. But that's big and heavy. It has a huge battery in it, something like 3500 milliamps or something. It's a big old chunk of battery with that Type-C on the bottom of it. So you've got to love those Type-C batteries. I mean, they're great. You don't need a special charger. Plug it into your phone charger or a battery bank. In an emergency, a radio that can charge with USB-C is the way to go, I think, because you know, with them chargers, they're AC, and you're not going to have AC power unless you've got a generator or something. But you can charge these USB-C batteries with any kind of power bank or just a 5-volt source. Tie a couple, tie a few AA's together and you're off to the races. But when you need the charge dock, that's a different story. Anyway, Josh, keep me on the list, man. I'll be around. Good one, UKZ.
