    HF handhelds do exist. Do they have the range of a dedicated HF rig? No. Better than a Baofeng? Yes, and they’re about $10 more.

        Radtel RT-880 comes to mind. Baofeng-level handheld capable of HF comms. I got one for ~$50.

          Oh nice. I see it for ~$80 on their site, but still, that’s cool. Never heard of it. I ended up getting a Xiegu G90 for HF. I’m curious how well the RT-880 works for HF. Gonna see if there are any reviews of it. I would’ve loved to know about it last year lol.

            The G90 is a much, much better radio.
