Review on Black BAOFENG UV-5R Dual Band Two-Way Radio by Hasam Mondol ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not my best purchase, could have found something else.

A lot has already been written about the walkie-talkie, you can not write too much. To play around hunting and fishing, so that it would not be a pity to lose or break it - it will do. For normal communication - it is better to spend a little more money and take it with a superheterodyne. The sensitivity of the receiver is turned up very strongly, on the deuce on the NA-771 the audibility record is 120 km (of course, at the other end there is a directional antenna, a very high point and decent power, you won’t shout in the opposite direction). But the receiver is clogged even from interference from the local network, the selectivity is below the plinth. Indoors, you can only work with a very strong signal. It is better on the street in the field, there is no fountain in the city either, all sorts of alarm trinkets and other low-power transmitters put the receiver even far from the operating frequency. For those who have pure ether - tolerable, the rest may be disappointed. You can keep in touch with the repeater at 10-15 km, but again, any interference clogs the entrance and it turns out - here I hear at 59 with a huge margin, but in half a meter there is no way at all. By and large - a toy, which also requires registration.

Pros
  • small, cheap
Cons
  • Direct conversion receiver with all the consequences. Small uncomfortable hard buttons
