Home / Comparison / Vero VR-N76 vs Baofeng UV-17 Pro GPS
Vero VR-N76 or Baofeng UV-17 Pro GPS? I put both radios side by side: figures from the manufacturers’ datasheets and photos at the same scale. The Vero VR-N76 comes out better: battery, water resistance, APRS / D-PRS and Bluetooth; the Baofeng UV-17 Pro GPS: weight and memory channels.
