Ultra Portable Ham Radio – Are They Any Good?

Post author By admin
Post date August 12, 2022

Wouxun KG-S72C CB Handheld Radio – These Are Fun!

Post author By admin
Post date August 9, 2022

I didn’t come to radio via CB, but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy it! These handhelds provide a well deserved upgrade to the CB service by adding, FM and USB-C charging. They are simple to use and my family enjoys using them.

The Wouxun KG-S72C radios can be found at: https://www.buytwowayradios.com/?cmid=amsreGRvTmttM0k9&afid=Mkx1eE1uN2M0S1k9&ats=RzRPbW5RdVYwUEk9
