Review on Power Up Your Communication With YouRUSH UV-5RUSH Dual Band Radio: Enhanced With 8W High Power, Extended Battery, And Programming Cable by Luis Jacob

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A lot of radio for the money.

As you probably know, if you don't have an Amateur radio license, you cannot transmit on these radios. While I do have a GMRS license, I am not authorized to transmit on Amateur frequencies, so I didn't do so.Reception is very good and you can listen to anything that I am aware of without a license. This radio comes with a programming cable, which is nice. It also has a higher capacity battery than my UV-5R, which is also a big plus. Build quality is pretty good for a radio in this price point.Seems like a lot of radio for the money. 4 star rated and recommended.

Pros
  • Over 18 hours operating time with supplied BL-5 2800mAh 7.4V Li-ion Battery pack. 3-4 hour rapid Charger included. Battery saver function. Time out timer. Emergency signalling. Bright flashlight illumination.
Cons
  • The build quality is subpar and prone to breakage, making the product unreliable over time
