Most activity, I've seen here: [email protected] but there's a lemmy bug that's not showing a bunch of posts. That should be resolved soon.

These are good cheaper radios (The price has gone up a bit)

There's also [email protected] which is reasonably active.

Ima be honest with ya, I believe those cheaper yaesus are actually practically baofengs component wise. But, they are still a bit better due to some higher quality components and wayyyy better QC. Just wanted to throw this out there.

They’re pretty much baofengs with much better filtering, so you don’t get front end overloading which can be frustrating.
