    Will firm up my order plans soon.

    Anyone able to assist with getting an order delivered within 50 miles of Fort Wayne? Was just near Hammond last week and don't have a trip planned that direction in the near future.

    To everyone in the Indy area. I have friends in the Noblesville and Fishers are that I see at least once a month, so as long as you are willing to wait 30 days at the most from the time I receive them I can get them that far. It would help me a lot if I can delivery the radios to one person so that person can distribute them out to the rest of the Indy INGO members.

    Haven, quantity 1, deal 1 & deal 2

    For the South & West side of Indy people, down to around Martinsville I can help with delivery. I am in Fishers every day during the week and could pick up from someone up there.

    Jedi, with my continued escapade going on trying to find a battery for Uv-5r ex model i would recommend switching to just the UV-5R. The batteries between the 2 radios is different and i can not find the correct battery anywhere in my searching for the EX model.
    Just my 2 cents but replacement batteries are not to be found

    Update on trying to find replacement battery for the EX model.
    Contacted a place in South Dakota that specializes in Baofeng equipment. They dont even stock this model due to the fact that everything is proprietary it. All accessories, battery, charger, etc.
    I did order a battery for the Uv-5r and am going to see if i can make it work in the EX model. Wont know on that till Monday evening however.

    [UPDATE]
    Still waiting on vendor to confirm if the AAA battery works.
    im 99.99% it does not. if so i have asked to see if we can get the uv-5r version which we know does fit with that AAA case.
    will post when i have more info. vendor is overseas and between translator and timezone dif its a slow process on negotations.

    I post this in the other thread.

    I have one of those AA battery packs for the UV-5R. I never really use it. It's like this one except it's not by Btech. I looked in my order history and it seems the seller I got it from back in 2014 is gone now.

    https://smile.amazon.com/BTECH-BaoF...06926&sr=8-3&keywords=baofeng+aa+battery+pack

    If anyone has one of these EX model radios and wants to try it out let me know, you can have it. I haven't used it in years and don't really plan to.


    ETA: IIRC I had to do some mild filing of the top to get it to fit without popping off the radio like Camerymonkey's did above. Once it was together and fitted to the radio it seemed to stay attached well enough. They are cheaply made and probably not checked for fit very well at the factory.

    I do have one of the extended 3800 batteries and it fits much better. There was minor filing but it snaps right into place and holds tight. It fills the hand well, great for playing with satellites.

    So I got this in the mail today. Thanks AngryRooster.

    It did not fit the newer version UV-5R EX model. The hook on the latch is much fatter then the new version and also those ears on top won’t let it slide in ether. You would have to remove the ears completely and also file the back of the hook so it could insert into the radio latch. So this means the older version batteries won’t work out of the package. It may work if you highly modify it. I have not found a source for extra UV-5R EX batteries. The group buy may want to switch to the older version.
