Review on Baofeng 2100MAh Battery Handheld Programming by Aaron Wagner

About the price of a replacement battery for my 25 year old dual band Yaesu FT-530 The Baofeng UV-5R has a similar feature set. The package included a speaker microphone and earpiece, two blocks of lithium-ion batteries, two antennas. Useful accessory that makes shopping much more convenient and offers customers more than just a simple walkie-talkie. I can't speak about its performance as there are few active radio amateurs in my city. I didn't hear anything from the local repeaters after a few days of listening and I didn't try to invade the community without having something to say :D However, I wanted to comment on one of the accessories: the speaker-microphone has a broken microswitch that stops him renders useless as a microphone. I am sure that good quality control requires either pride or time, which is lacking in modern companies, which is a sign of the society's imminent decline. obviously underpaid staff for providing me with an affordable alternative to trying to dig up nickel cadmium batteries for my Yaesu LOL (although I did find and ordered a NiMH replacement that looks very promising, around the price of this radio. ) Once I have To get more experience with Baofeng, I will try to remember to update this review.
