Review on πŸ“» BaoFeng Tri-Band Portable Two Way Radio with Dual Antennas and Long-Lasting 3800mAh Battery by Michael Moonin

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Two antennas are impractical

After opening the box, the first thing I ordered was a three-band rubber duck antenna. Carrying around a second antenna is pretty inconvenient. However, I would prefer one of these over a dual-band model. It's still very cheap and you get three bands. It's just as difficult to program as any Baofeng, but easier than Anytone in my opinion. The data cable and free downloadable Chirp eliminate the need for programming. Maybe one day they'll offer a model with adjustable noise cancellation directly instead of going into the menu and picking a number. The antenna would earn this device a 5 in my book.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Big and bulky
