AR-152 VHF / UHF Radio

This is my pick for a multi-purpose communications solution which can support the Sustainment, Tactical and Clandestine roles as described in The Guerrilla's Guide to the Baofeng Radio.

The AR-152 shares the functionality, controls and accessories of the much older Baofeng UV-5R and is programmable via Chirp. With 10w maximum output, it can easily serve as the communications platform to connect users over a range of at least 10 miles when utilizing the techniques taught in the RTO Course.

This radio has a far superior build quality to the older Baofeng UV-5R models. It features a larger, easier to read screen and large buttons that are easy to index whether wearing gloves in a tactical environment or in a low light condition. The best quality is the large capacity battery (12,000 mAH) providing an incredibly long life. There is no need for a separate charging cradle as the battery design has a separate plug-in for charging.
