Review on πŸ“» BaoFeng Tri-Band Portable Two Way Radio with Dual Antennas and Long-Lasting 3800mAh Battery by Paul Andrews

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Typical Baofeng radio

As a Baofeng UV-5R variant, the BF-3R's menus and functions are almost the same, the only difference is that instead of the 2m and 70cm, it has This band also has a range of 1.25 meters. When programming with the appropriate computer programming cable, I recommend using the free CHIRP program. The radio you select to program the BF-3R is the same as the Radioddity UV-5RX3. A word of advice: even with CHIRP, you can still use it to operate out of range, which could cause serious problems with the FCC. Currently neither the ABBREE software available on their website nor CHIRP allow you to set the transmit frequencies individually for all three bands, although any good radio amateur should know his band plan and where he is allowed to work and where not. .

Pros
  • Good product for the price
