Review on BAOFENG UV-5R5 Dual Band Two-Way Radio: 5W Power, VHF & UHF, Complete Kit with Large Battery (Camo) by Kero Montes ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

Avoid making the same mistake I did and avoid purchasing a walkie-talkie from shady web retailers. I initially ordered delivery because I was drawn in by a bargain pricing. The walkie-talkies appeared to be in working order, but their communication range was limited to 500–700 meters. The batteries were also very securely fastened, but even with the lightest touch of the key, they would fly off. After two hours of operation in the receive mode, the batteries would run out. I checked the boards and discovered that I had been duped. Then I went and paid a little more for it in a regular store, and it proved out to be a great device without the aforementioned drawbacks. Purchase only genuine goods from reputable merchants.

Pros
  • fantastic radio with plenty of features. Do two ranges of work. Work in the forest can be done up to 3–4 km away in the lower range. The speaker loudness is excellent. Finding any accessory is simple. A gadget may have small antennae if it needs to be portable and usable on an airsoft field, or it may have elongated antennas if it needs to have a longer communication range while out fishing or hunting. It will be able to get along with any other station thanks to a broad frequency range and a scanning feature (well, except for the Sibishka, 27 MHz, of course).
Cons
  • Such moisture and dust protection is not very exciting. Consequently, it is still preferable to purchase a cover if you need to work in harsh conditions. Plus a headset or a PTT for use at work while it's raining or snowing. The volume control is weak; I'm concerned that if you press on it too firmly, it could break. Despite having enough for a day's worth of work, accumulators soon deplete.
