I just got the Baofeng UV-5R in the mail yesterday. What a great radio for the price. I have the Arrow Antenna II. I listened using it with my scanner yesterday during a high pass of SO-50 and heard a dozen QSOs. I have all the frequencies programed in the Baofeng now and will be working the birds as soon as there is a decent pass.
I am going to try and work them today but we have bad WX here. Raining, Wind and a Tornado Watch.
I will try and post some audio,
