Review on High Power Tri-Power Portable Baofeng UV-5R Two Way Radio for Ham Radio Enthusiasts by Minoru Masuda ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best thing for the money, Im glad I chose this option.

It's what I use to go paragliding. For the second year in a row, I've had nothing but success with this material. Reduced size, lower cost, and superior quality. There are two separate scales. Breaks "with a bang" at a visible range of 10-12 kilometers. If the flight director is broadcasting something and the wind is whistling in your ears, a decent speaker will ensure that you can still understand every word. It's possible that the noise suppression will "click" on occasion. For this "treatment," I will just turn the power off and back on again. That's why there's treatment. The battery has excellent long-term retention. During the colder months. Worse. freezes in 2022 bother it a lot. The battery drains quickly in temperatures of -15C to -18C. Yet, a radio conversation lasting only seven to eight hours is sufficient. Glad. Satisfied. What I suggest.

Pros
  • Durability, aesthetics, and cost
Cons
  • Clunks in the background while trying to quiet things down
