Review on Black BAOFENG UV-5R Dual Band Two-Way Radio by Vanchay Peawang ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very pleased with this purchase, will recommend it to everyone!

Buy an antenna (na-771) for the two-meter band (namely, I recommend using it in the forest): for the LPD433 band, the quality of the antenna is not so important; batteries (there are standard ones, there are more). For winter, you can either use an Enelup battery pack or an external tankette with a socket for an external radio antenna with a Kenwood connector (two pins). I chose the second. Where to order-here or from the Chinese directly-it's up to you. But my opinion is that for hunting and fishermen, hiking, there is no better option for reasonable money. Now more and more people use this copy of Kenwood and do not experience inconvenience in the forest.

Pros
  • As already mentioned here: Huge selection of accessories. Price. A clear and not complicated menu - even such an amateur in the radio world as I will figure it out. There are not many functions that the average user does not need. No need to carry instructions with you in the forest. Programmed from a computer. Fast manual frequency entry in two bands. Immediately make a reservation, not the entire frequency range of course.
Cons
  • Yes, in principle, the little things for which you can forgive the manufacturer. Good people have already written about them here. I won't repeat. 80% of the time the indicator shows a full battery, then turns off almost immediately. By the way, note. A long press on the "zero" of the keyboard shows the battery voltage. A useful feature, but not mentioned in the instructions. He does not like severe frosts - the battery is lithium. Water resistance is not declared, but it seems to hold the rain. While holding. By the way, rubber covers for 50 are sold for it on the well-known Chinese trading platform with the letter "A".
