Conclusions	I had high hopes for the BF-F8HP Pro. Btech radios are usually pretty good units and well worth the money. This one is nice but fails on the most basic requirement of a transceiver which is to transmit a good signal. Would I recommend you buy one? Absolutely not. Save your money for a different radio. The improvements in screen, keys, GPS, etc are just not worth the utter failure in signal quality.	The Baofeng BF-888s is a fantastic radio for what it is meant for which is a very cheap, disposable radio for two or more licensed amateur radio operators to use to keep in touch when you can not, or do not want to carry your real radios. I originally purchased a pair of these Baofeng BF-888s for my wife and me to carry at large outdoor events where it was entirely possible that a radio could get lost, stolen, or damaged. It was also nice that they weighed almost nothing, so I could carry it in a breast pocket or clipped to a collar. I would never want a Baofeng BF-888s to replace one of my main radios, not even a Baofeng UV-5R, but for what it is intended for, it is a nice little radio.
