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.

Glad to get radio.
Radio is as expected. Menus easy to navigate like a UV-5R. Will talk over mile on urban areas. I am not unsatisfied with the product. You may have to disable DTMFST or play with D CTCS settings and beyond for it to talk to other radio brands. Your experience will vary. May use BSI in future. Business owner is really knowledgeable.
Great battery life and visibility under nods
I ordered two of these this summer plus Brushbeaters book (ordered through Amazon originally, sorry Brushbeater, wasn't aware of your store at first). I'm fairly familiar with two ways from my twenty years of coaching. Brushbeater's book was informative and easy to follow. I had two radios programmed fairly quickly. Recently I handed one to a buddy of mine and we are now communicating with home built antennas over a 20 mile distance in New England. I've had the radio out in the rain, no issues. Switched all antenna connections to BNC connectors, which is super efficient for building antennas. Working on setting up the radio I just bought for home scanning and carry the other as part of my get home, EDC kit. I'm very satisfied with the radio. Get the accessories-Molle carrier, on knob gaurd, BNC connectors, and extra batteries (I ordered extra batts with original order). Thumbs up for the AR-152 and Brushbeater. I also ordered a Special Operations Medical Protocols book. My only advice for the book is get a good set of readers to carry with it.
