📻 BAOFENG Tri-Power Two-Way Radio Transceiver: 2 Pack 8W Radios with Bonus Extras, Black Review

I've only used them 3 times then I store them with at least 80% battery power to extend battery life...the problem with the I was confronted with was that the radio stopped working. I was out with friends and suddenly it stopped working after 30 minutes... I charged the battery and it still doesn't work. The battery appears to work on another radio, so it's charged. The radio itself is defective and I probably won't be able to get a replacement at this point. Good radio but I hate it when it…

I received this radio along with a larger battery and new antennas. I also got a subscription to the online radio database for $15. My total investment in a ham radio station was $165. If I follow the programming guide, I can now hear repeaters near me, as well as emergency channels like police, fire, NOAA. So far it's working great and I can't wait to get my license to start chatting. The radios appear to be of good quality and I haven't had any problems with them so far. I will update when I…

These devices are great for the price and work very well. Programming can be a bit tricky, but there are many YouTube videos and clients here to help you with it. Dispatched same day via Lasership and they were in stock just 16 hours after ordering. Well done Revan! I recommend buying a large battery and a large antenna. They really improve reception and transmission. If you purchase a larger battery for this device, you may find that the battery does not fit properly in the slot. Don't pop it…

This radio has everything the UV5R has but with more power! I love it! The only disappointment was that the radio was locked to each of the two bands with a very limited frequency range and at first I thought it was a misleading spec sheet on the Amazon site but after looking at some reviews I found a note from the manufacturer Above that, the frequency limit is activated by default. However, it didn't take long to fix it. To unlock, just search "Baofeng UV-5RTP 8 Watt Review and Programming"…

These radios suit me perfectly. They are easy to program with the included cable and CHIRP. After a few minutes I programmed them the way I needed it. The biggest issue I had was the speakers/mics that came with the radios. It's complete rubbish. It's almost impossible to understand the other person if they're also using the included speaker/microphone. But after some internet searching I found how to modify them so that they actually work half decent: 1) Open the speaker/microphone (three…

I purchased this radio through Revain and it arrived very quickly within 2-3 days. Great job Raven! I fully charged the battery for over 5 hours last night before using it as per the manual. I replaced the antenna with a longer Nagoya antenna for better transmission and reception. I had the radio on and listened to it for about three hours, turning it on and off. I then decided to try broadcasting and ended up talking for 15-20 minutes before the battery died. In my conversation, I switched…

The Baofeng UV-5RTP is an excellent Walkie-Talkie (HT) at such a low price. It's unfair to compare this HT to expensive, high-end HTs from top Japanese brands. These HTs are sold ten times more expensive than Baofeng UV-5RTP! For the price here at Revain, the Baofeng UV-5RTP is an incredible value. I will only mention what I didn't like. the duck antenna is very bad - sometimes the HT makes noise (e.g. the squelch breaks), but that rarely happens - the external microphone has terrible sound…
