Review on Black BAOFENG UV-5R Dual Band Two-Way Radio by Buana Bono ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality is top notch, be sure to try it.

Since the fall of 2022, it is now called Pofung for export (rebranding is associated with a more comfortable pronunciation of the brand for Europeans). I ordered 18 radios, no comments. BUT the connector of the purchased baofeng tangent (which has a metal clip) does not fit the radio 100%, but it can be fixed very simply: you need to remove the plastic of the tangent connector from the back side with a nat file (well, or choose another tongut). Tested connection: 1) City, distance 1.85 km, between 2-3 panel houses and the forest (the forest may not have affected because we have floors 6 and 10). On one walkie-talkie antenna na771, on the other regular. The standard antenna did not pierce the transmission well (I could barely understand the words), the na771 antenna pierced the transmission well. 2) The city, the distance is 9.5 km, between us there are two brick 16-storey houses, a forest, a bunch of five-story buildings and an industrial zone. On the 6th floor there is a connection with the na771 antennas, and on the 16th floor the connection on both antennas is good. 3) Outside the city: private sector, forest, field, drove 4 km along the highway - the connection was with interference.

Pros
  • Advantages in characteristics. You will not find a high-quality dual-band for this money. Even some professional walkie-talkies do not have a couple of settings. If desired, you can expand the frequency range a little more to 127-200 (you need a cable to your computer).
Cons
  • The stock antenna is the same. I bought antennas na771 and 773.
