Review on Baofeng UV-82(5W) by Micha Dbrowski ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The product disappointed, does not meet the promises.

It's possible I stumbled across such a duplicate; nonetheless, what remains is the examination, waiting, swearing with the shop, and dragging oneself to the center. It's unfortunate that the sum appears to be relatively modest. There were issues on each of my hunting trips. This is not as good as a branded or kenwood used take. A common question about walkie-talkies is why they can't utilize regular cell phone batteries. Mystery. While most people opted for kenwood—with 3 years of reliability from 8 radios—this one had issues as well.

Pros
  • low cost, 2,000 dollars or less.
Cons
  • After a full charge, the device's talk time is reduced to three minutes. Just turn it on while you're lying down for 20 minutes, and it should start working again. Poor quality headphones; charging capabilities are hit & miss. Everything about this walkie-talkie screams "2, cheap China,” including the quality. The wilderness has terrible communication.
