    A really necessary purchase, glad I found this product.

    They got it from ALI, and they use it for fishing, trekking, and long-distance vehicle excursions to places like Crimea, Karelia, and other places like that. It doesn't work very well with the regular antenna in the car, so they bought additional external antennas on a magnet from NAGOYA called UT-106UV. This improved the range by two times, and it works much better in the city.

    Many thanks, vendor! And all you have to do is purchase a radio. It's a trustworthy companion for outdoor adventures and leisure time. Possibly, I'll place another order.

    The perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

    Advantages: The scope of its influence. In the mountains (including the first lift station and entire ski Dombay). In a city located 4.7 kilometers away, the signal was weak in a residential neighborhood, yet it was possible to make out individual phrases. Maintains a charge exceptionally well. Its cons: On one side you will find the call buttons, along with two more that are practically never utilized.

    Great product, a pleasure to use.

    Unbiased insights on the product.Has pros: Price, build quality and plastic, functionality, brutality With its cons: the BAND button on the corner quickly rubbed off =)

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

    Even some of the most well-known brand manufacturers have not dreamed of achieving the level of functionality and technological attributes that the Baofeng UV-5R possesses. A positive review of this radio can be found here. Has some pros: A case of high quality and aesthetic appeal. It can be carried in one's pocket. It is natural to be able to hear sounds. Everyone commented positively on the high-quality of the modulation when it was being sent. It has already rained on the radio station…

    Instructional video for the radio's menu, which you may still see here:?v=HlFn1zIiqE0 Compatible not only with the fifth bao but also with a variety of others. Got pros: The primary benefit it offers is a more affordable price. The low-cost dual-band bark can be used in its entirety without the necessity of a programming cable. As a whole, the introduction of the UV-5R most likely breathed fresh life into amateur radio, particularly on the VHF band, due to the fact that the station was very…

    Good quality product, I rate this purchase excellent.

    In general, BAOFENG UV-5R is not bad for the money. As the first radio station, and for people who are not demanding on a stable constant connection, to a connection of medium quality, it’s quite good. The only big minuses are that the noise reduction from the factory , you need to configure it via a computer + firmware cable yourself. And the modulation sounds soft on the air, you have to speak louder and closer! Or make your own! Maybe for some this is not a con. And for me personally, the…

    Pros
    • in terms of price + quality is good. The presence of 2 frequency bands 136-174MHz 400-520MHz. Range is quite good. In the city about 1.5KM 2-3KM between two radio stations. Depends on the urban development of the terrain.
    Cons
    • In the place where the standard antenna is connected, a small gap is visible. From the factory, the noise reduction is set to , it often “puffs up somewhere” and there are various interferences. If the noise reduction worked fine, it would be great! Despite the fact that this is a direct conversion RDA 1846 chip. Not "superheterodyne". Modulation, like many "baofengs", quietly sounds on the air. Have to speak louder and closer! Or customize it yourself! This is a big minus.

    Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

    The benefits: Colors aplenty Reasonable Cost The radio can communicate reliably up to 3 km away from any obstructions. The negatives: Very delicate voice control; using it can be challenging in noisy environments. Proven effective in testing on the racetrack. It's fine for travel purposes.

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

    Some pros: Not heavy, only two bands, and a small venue. The network has a large number of instructions, and even a toddler is capable of managing the settings. The colors are vivid and difficult to misplace. Below are some downsides: There wasn't a particularly huge selection of additional headsets, but they still managed to pull it off:)

    A really necessary purchase, glad I found this product.

    Despite operating at -30 degrees Fahrenheit for an entire day with only one Akuma stick fully charged, the quality and range of communication are a definite plus. This is fantastic value for money. Cons: If this assembly ever lands in a puddle of her khan, there will be holes. The question is, "What did I want for $1500?"

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

    Some pros: Low cost with a multitude of functions including radio, illumination, and simultaneous reception from two channels. Cons: The VOX function works mediocrely, regardless of the sensitivity, and the earpiece is not comfortable to wear.

    I am amazed at how well made the product is, just magical!

    Has some pros It has an easy-to-use interface, can pick up FM radio, and allows you to listen to two channels at the same time. It has a range of three kilometers in the forest. Having certain negative aspects You are responsible for flashing the grids and configuring the channels of the LPD and PMR devices on your own.

    Good product, not disappointed.

    Has some pros Low price, average build quality, respectable signal reception, and a plethora of configurable options Negatives: The PMR range does not have all of its channels sewed in advance, however it is unclear which ones are missing. When the tones or ROGER sound are turned up to their maximum volume, a loud crackling sound is produced.

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    The best thing I've ever used, I recommend it to everyone!

    A radio is one of the benefits. The hike is not dull. The quality of the plastic and the assembly is impressive for the price. Negatives: I picked up a yellow and a black puzzle piece. The screen quality is lower in black. It flickers occasionally, making it harder on the eyes.

    Revainrating 3 out of 5

    Nothing special, there are positive and negative sides.

    has certain advantages: It's luminous, hence impossible to misplace; economically priced; aesthetically pleasing; and well-assembled. Contrast several: I went and got two walkie-talkies, the louder one costing more. When in a loud car, it's difficult to carry on a conversation in a quieter vehicle (UAZ)
