Review on BAOFENG UV-5R5 Dual Band Two-Way Radio: 5W Power, VHF & UHF, Complete Kit with Large Battery (Camo) by Hideo Tsuchida ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Im amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

You should purchase an antenna (na-771) for the two-meter band (specifically, I recommend using it in the forest); nevertheless, for the LPD433 band, the quality of the antenna is not as necessary; batteries (there are standard ones, there are more). You have the option of making use of either a battery pack from Enelup or an external tankette that comes equipped with a connection for an external radio antenna that has a Kenwood connector (two pins). I went with option number two. It is up to you whether you place your order here or directly with the Chinese restaurant. In contrast, I am of the opinion that there is not a more cost-effective alternative for activities such as fishing, hiking, and hunting. Presently, more and more people are using this version of Kenwood, and as a result, the forest has become more convenient for everyone.

Pros
  • As was indicated earlier in this post: Vast variety of different kinds of accessories. Price. A menu that is easy to understand and not overly convoluted makes it possible for even a radio novice like myself to navigate it. There aren't very many features that the typical user won't require at some point. There is no requirement for you to bring any instructions with you into the forest. generated by a computer's internal programming. Quick and easy frequency entering manually over two bands. Instantly make a reservation, keeping in mind that you should not cover the entire frequency range.
Cons
  • In theory, you are able to overlook the manufacturer's shortcomings if they are only minor inconveniences. There is already excellent writing on this website concerning them. I won't go over it again. Eighty percent of the time, the indicator will display that the battery is full before nearly immediately turning off. Take note, by the way. The voltage of the battery can be seen by giving the "zero" key on the keyboard a prolonged push. A practical function that isn't covered in the instructions, however. Because the battery is lithium, he is sensitive to extremely low temperatures. Although it does not explicitly state that it is water resistant, it appears to be resistant to water. During maintaining. On the well-known Chinese trade platform that begins with the letter "A," rubber covers priced at 50 can be purchased for the item in question.
