[GCARC] Loaner Radio?

[Christopher Prioli AD2CS]

Yeah -- the BF-F8HP is an 8W Baofeng -- it has three output levels -- 1W,
5W, and 8W.  It also has a 2100mAh battery standard, with a 3800mAh version
available.  This is the HT that I have, and it's a pretty good little
radio.  The 3800mAh battery doubles the size of the unit!

I was able to hit the 147.120 K2DUX repeater from Cooper Road in Berlin for
the Bike MS event with no problem with that radio...
