Baofeng GT3 Arrives

Well it arrived today my gt3 radio I opened the box to see the radio and I was impressed it didn't look bad for a £40 radio I was expecting it to look cheap and nasty but it didn't look bad.

I plugged it all together and went to charge it up, I fount issues with the charger, I seated the radio in the base and found it bent one of the pins, so i made a repair on it, the mains plug went from a two pin charger to an adaptor to fit mains sockets, not a big deal but none the less it was disappointing.

After a few days use I upgraded the antenna as it would not pick up much from the local repeater from in the house, I ordered the bigger sansonic areal to see what I get from that, I also found the gt3 badge had come away from its glue.

To programme the memories of the unit it is easier to download the software, drivers, manuals and information from sainsonic

I found the software unstable on windows 10 and it needed reinstalling twice before i gave up and used a different bit of software for it
