I use the Baofeng UV-5R and a Wouxon KG-UV6D. I use the Baofeng as a transmit radio and the Wouxon for receive. The Wouxon has a freq knob on top of the radio. Makes changing frequencies so easy. I have to say I love the Baofeng. For the $28 (with shipping) it is a solid radio. I have used this two radio setup with my arrow for a few months and have had zero issues.
Good luck

It is my perception that some portable operators are using these Chinese HT's (specifically BaoFeng) along with their Arrow Antennas. Maybe that I am wrong.
Which model is being used, if that is so. Thanks.
