Review on Walkie talkie Baofeng UV-82 8W (3 power modes) black by Agung Baraya ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Satisfied with the product, I recommend it to everyone.

The product was purchased on 03/03/2022. Order delivered by PickPoint. When inspecting the damage on the box did not notice, but noticed a little later. Okay, everything seems to be intact. There are no additional stickers on the box (somewhere on the site I saw stickers with 2022 text). I can’t specifically point out the advantages and disadvantages, since there have not been field trials yet. The radio groans in the apartment, there is no interference on the street. I chose between UV-5R and UV-9R Plus. At the same time, it was not possible to poyuzat them with your hands. Chose UV-82 as it was cheaper than UV-5R. Ordered. Part paid with bonuses Thank you. For some reason, the WOW effect did not happen. The dual PTT button, which was one of my favorites, seems superfluous to me. Compared to UV-9R Plus: same weight. The UV-9R Plus feels a bit lighter. But it seemed to me inconvenient and impractical to mount it. Although I have not yet evaluated the UV-82 mount, it seems at least more reliable. In general, I like to take with a margin for the future (in terms of dust and moisture protection). And the price of UV-9R Plus was more than UV-82 by 600. I could not buy directly from the seller, since it was not possible to write off bonuses there thanks. In the hand, both radios lie almost the same (provided that the UV-82 is with a mount). It is not clear what metal the chassis of the radio station is made of. It feels like it's metal-like plastic. You tap on it and there is no metallic sound. The rest is like nothing. I will add a review later. Already ordered a silicone case for it. I post comparison photos.

Has pros: The design is clearly better than its predecessor Its cons: I did not notice a special difference between 8 W and standard 4-5 W. Only if it's just a little bit. But the battery "eats"

Has pros: Comfortable, 8 hours of inactive use and only one (out of three) battery charge indicator stick disappeared. Different cons: It is necessary to flash under the channels allowed in the 2022, or to hammer in the frequencies manually.
