Review on Tenway UV 5R Watt Dual Radio by Adam Hardy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good radio. Can't beat the price.

I use it for paragliding. Has good range. Works well. Cheap enough that if it gets lost or broken it's not the end of the world. The only downside is that the presets have to be programmed using a computer and a special cable. You can manually enter settings that remain in effect even after the radio is switched off. However, you cannot assign these settings to a preset without a computer. cHIRP is the best radio programming software. You need an original Baofeng cable.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
