Review on Walkie talkie Baofeng UV-5R 8W (3 power modes) by Danuta Sk ᠌

It is difficult to make a review without having experience with more expensive walkie-talkies of a similar range used without a repeater, but it suited my tasks. The communication range is ambiguous, it depends on the terrain and interference (example: 1. City 1 km excellent connection, but if you get into a car, it deteriorates sharply. -3 km, and in the other direction it doesn’t even reach a kilometer, in both cases there are fields / forest areas between communication points 3. There is a connection on the lake shore without a direct line of sight through forest areas 3-5 km.) Buying longer antennas does not change the picture much . Generally satisfied.
