I'd agree. She's a MILF!

Going back to topic, people seem to be falling over themselves for the cheap Chinese DMR sets. It seems that when it suits them to do so the haters are quite happy to forget their objections.

No way! Jimmy Carr's comment on Rachel in his shows is spot on!

I'd still say Carol Vodeman is hotter than Rachel.
I'd have to have a go at both of them before I could give a verdict

My conclusion is that for the money - the advantages are clear - have a look at the video and see what you think.
What a really lovely review style.

Thanks :thumbup:

Please post up any future YouTube uploads, Paul... really good to watch and listen to.

WRT beofeng, I picked up two brand new UV5Rs for £24.... as you say, pocket money radios.
I found Paul's "review style" very agreeable as well, almost therapeutic!! I hope he continues to make more videos, Thanks Paul. :)

I really hate those unboxing videos that are everywhere now - the interesting bit comes when they're out of the box, so why are people excited over opening the post and then finishing when the product is out in the open? I've got the new radiooddity dual band on the way, so that's probably one new video - maybe comparing that one against the other dual band, and then at some point maybe the Whistler TRX-2 - just waiting on the project I'm putting it against going ahead before I spend the money.

Thanks for kind words.

I couldn't agree more Paul, I would go as far to say I find them a little irritating we all know what these products look like, what we want to know is how well they work!! look forward to some more of your reviews soon.
