Review on Baofeng UV-82(5W) by Wiktor Sabak ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I thought it would be better, but overall not bad.

It is not expensive, it protects against moisture, it has a convenient menu, and it presents itself in an adult manner. There are two primary drawbacks to this situation: 1. The range is really ridiculous: 2,500 kilometers in rural areas and 1,500 minutes in urban areas. 2. The capacity of the battery. The price is still very reasonable, but it's not really a walkie-talkie; more of a toy. The communication level is approximately +15% better than PMR walkie-talkies like Motorolas or Midlands, which is fairly decent for this price and is appropriate for mushroom picking. The conclusion is that it is a toy and that other models should be chosen for important jobs.

Pros
  • Price, protection against wetness, comfort, and the inclusion of both a torch and a radio.
Cons
  • Poor battery life and limited travel distance
