The product is completely satisfied, performs its functions.

They took it with them during a trip to the Crimea, because. drove 2 cars, ideally helped until one of them died We heard the talks of truckers, but they did not hear us Its pros: Intuitive operation Removable battery All connectors in rubber plugs Charging via microUSB Different cons: Sometimes the range is hovering (if power lines are nearby) They took 2 pieces, one died while charging from the car (possibly a short circuit in the connector, have not yet disassembled)

The quality is at the highest level, be sure to try it.

We have found that placing an elastic band for money that has been twisted firmly under the wheel to be of some use in preventing the wheel from switching on unexpectedly. The benefits of it include: Works, very light (125g). The communication range is respectable but significantly lower than that of the UV-5R. It is possible to charge it using a power bank, and it can store a charge for an extended period of time. This is a significant benefit for tourists, particularly when the autonomy lasts

Great product, best quality.

The radio station is weird in general. You won't typically encounter a serious walkie-talkie with such small proportions. The cost is also pretty reasonable, maybe around $900.950. A well deserving upgrade from the "old lady" BF-888s! You can check out this radio's range test (in urban settings) at youtube.com/watch?v=6t9A92BLGHU. Pros: It is about the same size as a cell phone, and it is equally flat and light. Charger BL-3. For such a "baby," the declared range is up to 10 km; nothing is to…

Great quality, did not expect at all for the price.

choose between the BF-R5 and BF-888s models. I chose the BF-R5 since it is simple to charge through USB, interchangeable batteries are available, and the antenna is tiny.

Pros
  • bought two units. 1) I liked that rechargable batteries BL3 are available; they claim to fit from the bodies. 1500mA. Nokia. This will guarantee your travel. 2) is similarly charged using a micro USB as a phone. You can use the provided charger to safely charge your phone from a car charger while using it for your phone. 3) The headphone is in order. 4) Overall, everything is done correctly and operates without a hitch.
Cons
  • Although it is tough to consider this a drawback, the antenna's length is actually longer than it seems in the market photo.
