Tired of all the Baofeng bashing and trash talking on the air about cheap radios? What if you can build something cheaper more embarrassing but spank almost everyone on performance and "Bulletproofness". Well... Our very own W4THM (foremerly KE4MCL) has done another fascinating write-up on Instructables on how to build an ultra-dirt-cheap radio that is sure to outperform any Chinese radio out there in Power, Reliability and Selectivity. It won't be as stylish or flashy as your latest Icom ID-51Plus, Yaesu FT2DR or Kenwood TH-D74A, but you sure will be turning heads when you brandish this abomination!
So head on over and check out Robert's Instructable and challenge yourself to see how cheaply you can build your very own Frankenham Radio! Who knows? Stay tuned and check this website regularly, there just might be a "Cheaper Than Dirt Dirty Old Radio Shootout!!"
