Review on ๐Ÿ”Š Enhanced Ham Radio Walkie Talkie (UV-5R 8W) Dual Band 2-Way Radio - Complete Set with Rechargeable Batteries, Earpiece, and Programming Cable by Logan Broadnax

Revainrating 5 out of 5

So far, so good. - Portable audio and video

The box looked small, but everything fit in it. Nicely packaged. I liked that I have all these accessories. The battery lasted over a day of full noise cancellation to find weak signals. After several hours of charging after unpacking, there is still plenty of life left. The test had life right out of the box. I managed to get the CHIRP software to work without any problems. I don't find it too difficult for keyboard programming. I was able to move a huge +. I'm wondering if I can easily hit a satellite relay between double clocks or a huge 250,000 sighting. The handheld microphone feels very light, the PTT button wobbles. The data cable seems fine. Didn't use an earphone, small antenna, or OEM rubber ducky. But I used a whip RH771. Wasted no time connecting it to the JPole roof. Can receive repeaters up to 25 miles away. I have it sitting in its stand without the power cord. With a handheld microphone and a roof antenna, you can feel like a small base station.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • empty
