I have bought a few Baofangs UV82's now and I have to say they are pretty remarkable,
they are totally user programmable via usb or front panel, which technically here the front panel must be locked out for some dumbass reason,
i just bought two more of their new high power models and they have a great range, I have talked to the wife with her back at the trailer and me 10k up the mountain

if you do go with them I have the complete RR channel list including the LADD chanels and all the FRS channels saved to a loadable file I can send you to program in
takes about 2 mins,
I like to use the VOX mode and an earpiece which they come with when hunting with a buddy we can communicate hands free.
also dont just monitor those logging roads if they are active, you should be calling up your posistion as well, works two ways, the truckers like to know as well
just keep it simple if your headed up call out for instance grey pickup up 2 k marker or if your headed down call out grey pickup down 10k mark, there are also load channels to program and you can hear the loaders too
