Welcome and here is a link to the radio mentioned on Amazon also.
BAOFENG UV-5R Dual Band Two Way Radio (Black), 144-148MHz & 420-450MHz https://a.co/d/iZdWoFy

Getting a radio from Amazon means 2 things: 1. The radio won’t be programmed with the correct channels, you will need to do it yourself
2. You’re not supporting a veteran owned company (do you really want to support Amazon?)

I bought one from LVJ and one from Amazon. Giving him a cheaper alternative.

Amazon already makes enough from me, Bezos does not need more of my cash.

i bought 2 UV5Rs on amazon recently, with the cable for $35...

i have programmed my own radios for years using CHIRP

once you have a library of freq, its easy to copy/paste to each radio..
