Radio special today on Woot

[Mafesto]

I remember a thread on here evaluating radios.
Baofeng is one some of you recommended.
I bought one. Great radio for the money.
My only complaint is I wish some of my younger buddies had one so they could teach me how to use the features.

Anyway, on sale today.

Ordered thee today, I see they are only 5watt instead of eight.. Any idea how far they reach, battery life

I don't recall my model # so I can't tell the watts.
But battery life is very good.
I've never had problems with battery life on handheld radios.
