A valuable purchase, some advantages!

For providing communications on the road to nature, on trips by several cars, the best and inexpensive solution. I buy many friends as a gift for the holidays, it is original and useful to every boy, even though he is already 80 . :-) Pros below: I took children to the dacha to collect, and even to Turkey, to call the children from the beach for lunch. Only the best reviews. Range 3-4 km. If you go to the second floor in the country house - up to 6-7. I saved a lot on cellular, on trips we…

Everything in the purchase suits, a very necessary product.

I was pleased with the presence of a radio, a flashlight too +, the standard antenna went straight into the trash, it works fine in the mountains and forests, there are a bunch of cheap headsets and additional power. I recommend. I have been using for 2 years now. Got pros: The connection quality is excellent, the durability is good, and in general everything is super. Cons: There is no 2022 language, but these are nit-picking) And so, there are no others.

Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

Walkie-talkies in their pure form are subject to registration and cannot be used by people without an amateur radio category (due to too wide a range). But when connected to a computer, you can block all bands except LPD or PMR, and then you can use such a walkie-talkie. But you can block the range only for the original radio . for fakes, this will not work. To identify a fake, you can go to menu item 38 (ponmsg) and select "MSG". Now if the radio says "YABAO UV-9A" when turned on, then it's a

Pros
  • Low price. Wide frequency range. Ability to listen to FM radio. Flexible settings. Possibility of programming through the computer of frequencies and settings (requires a special cable).
Cons
  • Lots of fakes. My walkie-talkie tunes about 9ppm lower than it says. for the PMR band it's more than 4kHz - which means that when I select channel 2, I'm actually operating almost between channel 1 and channel 2. But I have just a fake walkie-talkie and, perhaps, inaccurate settings are associated with this.

A high-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

Do not repeat my mistake, do not buy a walkie-talkie in dubious online stores. At first I was seduced by a low price and ordered delivery. The walkie-talkies seemed to be normal, but the communication range did not exceed 500-700 meters, the battery was fastened very tightly, but even at the slightest touch of the key it flew off, the batteries sat down in 2 hours of operation in the receive mode. After consulting on the forums, I realized that I had fallen for a fake. Then I went and bought…

Pros
  • Great radio with many features. Work in two ranges. In the lower range, the range of work in the forest is longer and reaches 3-4 km. Speaker volume is very good. It's easy to find any. accessories. Including short antennas, if you need to make the device compact and work with it on the airsoft site, or elongated ones, if you need to increase the communication range while fishing or hunting. A wide frequency range and a scanning function will allow it to make friends with any other station (well, except for the Sibishka, 27 MHz, of course).
Cons
  • All such dust and moisture protection is not so hot. Therefore, to work in extreme conditions, it is still better to buy a cover. And for work in time of rain or snow - a headset or a PTT. The volume control is flimsy, I'm afraid if you touch it a little harder - it will break. Accumulators quickly run down, although there is enough for a day of work.

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

Bought for skiing in the mountains and mountain hiking. To her took a battery pack for rechargeable batteries / AA batteries. Eneloop batteries. Tangent waterproof. Antenna NA771. All together it cost about 100 bucks. ==== Since the native battery is lithium (it is afraid of the cold), I decided to take a battery pack and Eneloop to it. In this configuration, the radio works great while in a backpack at -10 -15 degrees. Haven't used it colder yet. The tangent is comfortable (some kind…

Pros
  • Price. Quality at this price. Power. Lots of accessories. Built-in radio, flashlight. Aluminum chassis. Durable plastic. The size. Charging glass for charging both the walkie-talkie assembly and the removed battery.
Cons
  • If you find fault, then the plastic case has inaccuracies in fitting between the parts.

Not my best purchase, could have found something else.

A lot has already been written about the walkie-talkie, you can not write too much. To play around hunting and fishing, so that it would not be a pity to lose or break it - it will do. For normal communication - it is better to spend a little more money and take it with a superheterodyne. The sensitivity of the receiver is turned up very strongly, on the deuce on the NA-771 the audibility record is 120 km (of course, at the other end there is a directional antenna, a very high point and decent…

Pros
  • small, cheap
Cons
  • Direct conversion receiver with all the consequences. Small uncomfortable hard buttons

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

I want to leave a review about the Chinese walkie-talkie Baofeng UV-5R, I bought this walkie-talkie this year. The radio is affordable, and the equipment is complete, charger, headphones, antenna, battery. Let's just say it's cheap, just in terms of parameters and convenient, and catches well. Checked within a radius of four kilometers, it catches perfectly, despite the fact that various obstacles in the city still work without extraneous interference.

Pros
  • Very easy to use, not high price, multifunctional.
Cons
  • minus the instruction is not in 2022.

The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

A good and simple walkie-talkie is not large, we have been using it for 1 month, it has never let me down. Charges quickly. with good functionality. Comfortable and light, sound without any rustling, holds a charge for a long time. Bright numbers, you can see that in the twilight that in the bright sun. Good audibility, even if the weather is not ideal. It also picks up a signal through a dense forest, we recommend it to everyone !

Pros
  • Great store with everything you need!
Cons
  • No

Im amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

I thought and dreamed for a long time about free communication at a short distance, when, for example, you go with friends in the same direction. Of course, it cannot be compared with a long-range radio station, and permission will be needed. The setup for use is very simple. Deeper tuning requires already special. knowledge. The frequency range is great! Bypassing any toys with fixed channels, you can switch to the middle of the channels very simply, thereby not listening to any shkololo and…

Pros
  • Low price (took for 1450 / piece). Failsafe. Mine and as other owners write there is almost no marriage. Range up to 5 km. with standard antenna. Autonomy is good. Large frequency range.
Cons
  • There is not.

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I am satisfied, the purchase is quite successful.

Plugging into an elongated antenna, poor selectivity, as a result, filthy sensitivity in the city. BUT, I compare with FT-60 and VX-8. The price is almost an order of magnitude. In a calm environment, it normally opens turnips, the modulation is not ice, but it deserves a solid three for intelligibility. Indulge in 2 ranges - that's it. With a strong desire, you can use it for work, the question of service life, but for this money .

Pros
  • There are a lot of things, and even an FM receiver is a security guard's dream! 2 bands, you can listen to radio pests, and even communicate through a repeater. 2 meters is much better in the forest (although LB is better, of course). Many windfields operate on 2 meters - and this is one of the most accessible stations to keep in touch. A sane battery for the money.
Cons
  • Selectivity, AGC, modulation.

The quality is top notch, be sure to try it.

Since the fall of 2022, it is now called Pofung for export (rebranding is associated with a more comfortable pronunciation of the brand for Europeans). I ordered 18 radios, no comments. BUT the connector of the purchased baofeng tangent (which has a metal clip) does not fit the radio 100%, but it can be fixed very simply: you need to remove the plastic of the tangent connector from the back side with a nat file (well, or choose another tongut). Tested connection: 1) City, distance 1.85 km…

Pros
  • Advantages in characteristics. You will not find a high-quality dual-band for this money. Even some professional walkie-talkies do not have a couple of settings. If desired, you can expand the frequency range a little more to 127-200 (you need a cable to your computer).
Cons
  • The stock antenna is the same. I bought antennas na771 and 773.

Im amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

The classic "workhorse", on the basis of which the baofengs have released a bunch of different walkie-talkies - some have increased power, others have added ranges, but this model still remains a classic. It does not have normal moisture protection, which is solved by a cover. There are also a huge number of accessories for this model, including turning it into a stationary car radio. It is possible to program from a computer via a special cable (sold separately). It is charged through the…

Pros
  • Features, ease of use, price
Cons
  • cheap plastic

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality product, the price is commensurate with the quality.

These Baofengs of ours do not monitor the build quality well. Everything is OK, most likely, but there are small joints, such as non-twisted fixing rings - I watched it on several different walkie-talkies. The native antenna can be poorly assembled - it dangles inside the plastic case, and in itself it is not "ah!" The volume control is somewhat flimsy, the flashlight "was" - the LED just sticks out. Scans slowly. There are a lot of fakes and variations in the manufacture of the case - covers…

Pros
  • Everything has already been said for me. Legendary and folk, in general)))
Cons
  • Just a little bit.

A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

There is no water protection, but I use it from my pocket / backpack with an external tongette for snowboarding. I managed to talk with my native antenna in a snowstorm between the saddle of Circus-1 and the beginning of the last stage of the lift (Burger Club) in Krasnaya Polyana (Gorki Gorod), through the inflection of the relief. Dombay shoots almost from top to bottom with light precipitation. Many accessories for enthusiasts (antennas, larger batteries) The main advantage - the…

Pros
  • People's walkie-talkie for a ridiculous price
Cons
  • Button labels wear out too quickly No USB charging (sold separately)

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

Somewhere on the Internet I saw how people tested these walkie-talkies on the track. They got a range of more than 10 km. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but in my case, even with the complete absence of obstacles, 2 maximum. With a slightly more difficult terrain, even a kilometer is a problem. I tried different frequencies, it was worse, but better - I could not do it. Everything else is excellent, definitely worth the money.

Pros
  • Low price, good build quality, not afraid of water, light falls. Easy for a newbie. Flexible antenna.
Cons
  • I expected the range to be somewhat longer. We drove in two cars, a distance of a kilometer in an open field is normal. But if there are a lot of cars or a small mound between us, then the connection disappears.

Very pleased with this purchase, will recommend it to everyone!

Buy an antenna (na-771) for the two-meter band (namely, I recommend using it in the forest): for the LPD433 band, the quality of the antenna is not so important; batteries (there are standard ones, there are more). For winter, you can either use an Enelup battery pack or an external tankette with a socket for an external radio antenna with a Kenwood connector (two pins). I chose the second. Where to order-here or from the Chinese directly-it's up to you. But my opinion is that for hunting and…

Pros
  • As already mentioned here: Huge selection of accessories. Price. A clear and not complicated menu - even such an amateur in the radio world as I will figure it out. There are not many functions that the average user does not need. No need to carry instructions with you in the forest. Programmed from a computer. Fast manual frequency entry in two bands. Immediately make a reservation, not the entire frequency range of course.
Cons
  • Yes, in principle, the little things for which you can forgive the manufacturer. Good people have already written about them here. I won't repeat. 80% of the time the indicator shows a full battery, then turns off almost immediately. By the way, note. A long press on the "zero" of the keyboard shows the battery voltage. A useful feature, but not mentioned in the instructions. He does not like severe frosts - the battery is lithium. Water resistance is not declared, but it seems to hold the rain. While holding. By the way, rubber covers for 50 are sold for it on the well-known Chinese trading platform with the letter "A".

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…

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

I have two 99-channel JJ-Connect walkie-talkies that are no longer produced, I wanted to buy a couple more. Chose a subject, did not regret. The sensitivity of the walkie-talkies is the same, JJ-Connect will even have more, with the general simplicity of choosing a channel (only a channel and a subcode). The functionality is about the same, but Baofeng looks more impressive.

Pros
  • The ability to set the frequency manually, the ability to scan frequencies, fits comfortably in the hand, looks expensive.
Cons
  • Sensitivity at the level of simpler models

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

I bought two walkie-talkies for outdoor activities and trips to nature. The walkie-talkie is indispensable when playing airsoft, it is very convenient to use with the headset that is included. Convenient for hiking. Batteries last for several days of fairly intensive work. The reception and transmission area corresponds to the one declared by the manufacturer.

Pros
  • Value for money. The radio has all the necessary functions and is easy to use. Dust protection is an important parameter, since walkie-talkies are most often used in nature and outdoors.
Cons
  • Dropped all my expectations.

Everything is fine, I liked the product, I bought it for a reason.

Made a Christmas present for my son. One radio came with a very quiet sound at full volume. They wanted to write to the seller, but such walkie-talkies were no longer available in the store. We decided not to waste our nerves on the holiday either for ourselves, or for the child, or for the seller. Just ordered the same one elsewhere. So we now have three radios. Reception/transmission are excellent for this price category. We sent our son shopping to the store for about 2.5 km. We talked with

Pros
  • Fast shipping. Everything matches the specifications.
Cons
  • One radio has a very quiet volume. Heard only in the room. On the street with the city noise it is difficult to hear anything.
