[HiDARG-MEMBERS] FYI: Baofeng/pofung radios $5.99 a pair.

[WAYNE LINSCHIED]

From K7PEK. I also ordered a pair. My son KD7ILT said that it is a scam, but I'll wait out the estimated delivery dates before taking any action. Could be factory seconds or whatever! 

The seller was rated 100% by 117 customers.
