Review on Black BAOFENG UV-5R Dual Band Two-Way Radio by Doug Layman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Don't be fooled if someone substitutes UV5R for UV5R. Personally I think this is cheating.

This product is fine. But I can't say anything about the seller. He sent me the UV5RC, not the UV5R. The radio was as pictured. This is a cheaper integrated option with no reinforcement around the LCD screen. Therefore, the display cover is simply glued on and can become detached over time by rubbing against your belt or clothing. The vendor called me personally and asked if I was happy with the request for a good review. I told him about my dissatisfaction but he didn't offer to send another one as shown in the picture. Radios of all these types are difficult to program and harder to program than necessary, leaving you scared every time you have to make changes. In addition to this AOK. But don't let anyone sell you a device with a sticker on the lid above the LCD screen: this is the UV5RC model (not the UV5R as shown here in this ad).

Pros
  • Very good quality
Cons
  • Some problems
