Review on Black BAOFENG UV-5R Dual Band Two-Way Radio by Athit Samatiyadekul ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am amazed at how well the product is made, just magically!

I use it for paragliding. I have been flying with this subject for the 2nd year - I have not suffered any disappointments. Compactness, price, quality on top. Two ranges. In line of sight, it breaks "with a bang" 10-12 km. A good speaker - if the flight director is broadcasting something, and the whistle of the wind is in your ears - you can hear it loudly, distinctly and legibly. Sometimes the noise reduction "clicks" . I have to "treat" this ailment by a quick "off-on" . It is treated. The battery holds a charge for a very long time and well. In winter, of course . Worse. Does not like 2022 frosts. At -15C -18C, the battery is discharged very quickly. But for 7-8 hours of radio exchange is enough. Glad. Satisfied. I recommend.

Pros
  • Reliability, appearance, price
Cons
  • Clicks during noise reduction

Has some pros Works well, not worse than analogues Some cons: the PTT sometimes works spontaneously, but only down in the mountains, perhaps when there are a lot of walkie-talkies nearby

Workhorse for non-professional use. Remember that not all frequencies can work. Without a license, only PMR or LPD bands. Beware of counterfeit batteries if you want to purchase an extra one.
