Review on Black BAOFENG UV-5R Dual Band Two-Way Radio by Shimamoto Tatsuki ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

I have never come across walkie-talkies, but cycling in places where cell reception is poor made me think about alternative types of communication. They were able to deal with the walkie-talkie in just 10 minutes. The main thing was to look at the frequencies on which you can broadcast without registration - they, of course, turned out to be clogged with negotiations between builders from local construction sites, but you can find gaps there too. In general, a very good option for getting to know the walkie-talkies. I also watched Xiaomi walkie-talkies, but despite the manufacturability, ease of charging the latter, I'm glad I chose 5R - it's cheaper and the connection is better

Pros
  • A good walkie-talkie in order to get acquainted with walkie-talkies as such. Inexpensive, loud, many settings, popular enough to find instructions on any subject on the Internet. In densely populated areas, it calmly keeps in touch at distances of about 2 km (I just didn’t go further) You can change the antenna if necessary.
Cons
  • The headset that comes with the kit looks watery and you have to get used to how it is attached to your ear. You need your own power supply for charging.

I have been using it for five years, the operation is cheaper than Yaesu even with periodic replacement
