📻 Black Baofeng BF-A58 Radio Review

Acquired for work in the port area, at sea frequencies. The mode of simultaneous reception of two frequencies was very useful. In general, the radio station works no worse than expensive marine walkie-talkies. I think if you replace the antenna with a more suitable one for 156 MHz, then the distance and purity of the received signal will increase significantly.

Thoughts from my testing.Pros: Good walkie-talkie, I use it for fishing in a boat, for hunting Different cons: Not very convenient clip holder (well, this is for me)

For the money this is a very good option. I did not reflash, the factory configuration is enough. got used to the menu and settings pretty quickly Pros below: The feeling that it is made firmly. It's kind of a tough brick. Everything is working properly. Has cons: I do not really believe in a good degree of moisture protection. Between the cover of the headset connector and the body of the radio, there is a gap of more than a millimeter with the cover screwed on.

so you need to talk and bathe in the sea, mud, puddles, as many of these options are not enough. I’m , let’s give different colors to one, drown in the mud of another, don’t fry chicken, don’t show football . what for do you need a walkie-talkie?

A cool walkie-talkie, I liked everything, all hunters take only such ones from us. The instruction in 2022 is on the Internet and the video on YouTube about all the functions is called - "Overview and configuration of the BAOFENG BF-A58 radio"

In general, I'm not very good at radios. Reception is good, works as it should. You can not install the battery if the antenna is not screwed, you can not unscrew the antenna if the battery is installed. Those. You can only remove the antenna from a de-energized device. My husband signed it with a red felt-tip pen, so I don’t forget, but in general I would like to come up with some kind of fuse or fool protection - I’m always afraid that it will burn 😱

I took 2 pieces in Hong Kong. I did not disclose the range, so far the regular one is enough. The quality is at the level of expectations from Chinese products: that is, how lucky. For example, I have one walkie-talkie that keeps the battery for a long time, and the second one, even in the off (!) state, puts it down for 5 days (it's the walkie-talkie, I changed the batteries in places - the same thing). In general, the impression is strange: it did not receive the expected security (see…

You need to program the channels yourself, you need to buy a programmer cable separately, it works through a program from baofeng, but you can also manually (but for a long time). The menu is adequate.

I bought a couple of these walkie-talkies for work "in the fields." Completely lived up to expectations. Excellent "indestructible" walkie-talkies with very decent functionality and autonomy. Especially pleased with the price, which is very low for such a wonderful thing. Even the built-in flashlight has already come in handy a couple of times, which, although far from being a spotlight, still shines pretty well at short distances. In the forest, the thing is clearly not superfluous. The clip…

Has pros: Solid on vi, d durable case, lies well in the hand. It works well within 1 km in the city, I have not tried it in the sea yet. Got cons: The sensitivity of the receiver is much lower, from the word it is quite low than that of the UV82.

An excellent walkie-talkie, I haven’t had time to check the ranges yet, but everything else went through: the modes switch easily, the volume and audibility are excellent, the built-in flashlight is quite bright, it catches the fm-band and radio cleanly, the battery is excellent (I drove the walkie-talkie while I was studying, all day, the charge did not even decrease), excellent equipment - a glass for charging, all the wires, a headset, a clip, a cord. Very satisfied!
