Review on 📻 Mirkit x Baofeng Radio UV-5R MK3X: FCC Approved 5W Tri-Band Radio with 2100mAh Li-ion Battery - Mirkit Edition by Lance Story

This is the best UV-5r option. I had original uv-5r and uv-5r v2. This works just like any other uv-5r but with an extra level of performance. I programmed CHIRP with uv-5r and it worked great. The only limitation in CHIRP is that you only have two power level options (L for 1W and H for 8W. The M 4W option is not in CHIRP). That's fine as I was planning to only run everything at the high 8W power level. It's also the only uv-5r I own that offers smooth volume control when a speaker/mic is connected. Others mute and unmute the volume when you adjust the mic/speaker volume, but this one worked perfectly to allow smooth volume control. This radio is so good I am considering replacing my other two uv-5rs with this one. Also, all uv-5r accessories work as expected with this radio, including extended batteries. The only downside is the same as all uv-5r radios, poor user manual and no non-chirp programming option.
