I've outfitted several baofengs and recently been working on getting an antenna up for my rtl-sdr. Very difficult to convince my friends, who are pretty decently geographically placed within the county, to join the race. Also saw that the man himself will be in Missouri come September for a scouting and RTO class.

Heavily considering acquiring a QYT CB-58 to talk to my fellow farmer friends this spring for 1) redundancy w/ baofeng equipment, and 2) potential for a HT/mobile rig setup like I have for the baofengs. Haven't dived into digital yet (I've seen the Abbree DM-F8) but I'm still convinced my first digital will be a scanner - just not convinced yet that my local 5-0 running P-25 P1/APCO aren't already encrypted.
