So I ended up buying the Baofeng UV-5RM Plus after all. I had some reservations about whether it was worth buying a Baofeng radio, because apparently they’re low quality, but I can see that quite a few people use them and even have good things to say about them. They’re not particularly expensive either, so maybe they’ll be good enough for learning.
