What if I run it in reverse? :D

Also, any recommendations on which baofeng model to get?  It would be nice to listen in at least while driving backwards...lol

 Just watch out for the no driving in reverse signs and I would imagine you could do whatever you want....  :)   Buuuutttt, in all seriousness if you are planning on getting and using a HAM license I would shy away from the Baofengs. Some folks use them and like them but in my opinion they are not great quality and can be questionable. If you have the coin and plan on using them buy the best one you can afford as it will pay off in the long run.

I disagree with celt on this one.
Definitely start with a Boafeng.
Great little radio.
Especially if you just plan to listen. I have an external magnet mount antenna you can use which really isn't necessary for trail runs.

When you get your ham license, buy a good dual band radio.

If it's just for trail runs and you don't want to do it as a hobby, no need to go full send and spend a bunch of money.

Any of the UV5r stuff is fine.

These little radio are also fantastic for spotting drivers through sections.

I hope to be able to be out there for at least part of it, but that weekend is still uncertain right now.
