You can find two way radios in Dragon Mart. We can recommend the Motorola/Crony MT777 or the Baofeng UV5R. Both are easily available. In below post you’ll find info on how to program them: 2 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topgear Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 @Probir MukherjeeI just bought the Baofeng UV5R at AED70 from Dragon Mart about 2 weeks ago. I have used it for 2 drives, so far so good. The only comment is to make sure that you press the talk button for 1-2s before you start to speak. Very good value for money for AED70 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
