Description of Baofeng UV-5R Green Radio

Baofeng UV-5R is a modern semi-professional radio station. However, made on a modern element base, it has many functions inherent in professional equipment. The range of applications of UV-5R is very wide: from hunters and fishermen to security personnel. The popularity of the walkie-talkie is based on excellent functionality, convenience and exceptional reliability. The main feature of the Baofeng UV-5R radio is operation in two frequency bands: VHF (136-174 MHz) and UHF (400-520 MHz). In other words, this model is compatible with most portable radios, including the most popular amateur bands LPD and PMR. An important advantage is the simultaneous operation on two channels: this will allow you to listen to one channel and fully communicate on the other. The numbers and frequencies of both channels are simultaneously displayed on a two-line display. In addition, the Baofeng UV-5R walkie-talkie can be used as an FM receiver (65 MHz - 108 MHz). The transmitter power of 5 watts provides reliable communication at distances up to 7 km. Baofeng UV-5R has 128 memory cells for storing channel frequencies. The VOX function (activation of transmission by voice, without pressing a button) may come in handy. Adjustable squelch threshold will optimize the operation of the radio for any level of external interference. The Baofeng UV-5R radio supports 105 “DCS” subtones and 50 “CTCSS” subtones with manual setting. This will allow you to organize your "sub-channels", fencing off extraneous negotiations. In addition to technical bells and whistles, the developers took care of the convenience of working with the radio station. A nice feature is the selection of the color of the display backlight (blue / orange / lilac) separately for standby, transmitting and receiving. The display backlight turns off automatically after a configurable amount of time. Also implemented manual and automatic keypad lock. The Baofeng UV-5R radio is equipped with a powerful 1800 mAh Li-Ion battery. A charger is also included. Built-in LED-flashlight as a nice and useful addition to an excellent radio station.Li-Ion battery 1800 mAh; - BL-5 Power 5 / 2W; Good modulation (high-quality sound); Long range (city - 1-3 km, forest - up to 5 km, line of sight - up to 7 km); "Two channels" function; Display of 2 frequencies on the display; "Monitor" function for listening to weak signals; Energy saving mode; Sound signal when buttons are pressed; Channel scanning; Ability to communicate with conventional channel stations; Ability to connect a headset; Backlight LCD display and keyboard; ;FM radio;Range: FM: 65-108MHz (reception);VHF: 136-174MHz (reception/transmission);UHF: 400-520MHz (reception/transmission);Number of channels 128;СTCSS, DCS codes; Frequency grid step, kHz: 2.5/5/6.25/10/12.5/25KHz.

Type of review

They got it from ALI for fishing, trekking, and lengthy vehicle excursions to places like Crimea, Karelia, and other places like that, but it didn't work very well with the basic antenna in the car, so they bought additional external antennae on a magnet from NAGOYA called UT-106UV, which expanded the range by two times and made it work better in urban areas.

In any case, I appreciate it, vendor! And all you need is a radio that you can buy. It's a trustworthy companion for outdoor adventures and leisure time. I'm thinking about getting another one.

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

takes 2-3 km in the conditions of city panels. I didn’t check it in the field in open areas, but I think what they write about 10 km is true Different pros: At such a price, a worthy unit for airsoft (that’s what it was taken for), well, if you go somewhere with a company in a column, it’s also perfect. And the fact that the headset is included is just fine Its cons: I would say no, the only thing I have not yet figured out with the settings

Quality is top notch, happy with everything.

Bought mostly for kids. I decided to buy non-toy walkie-talkies and did not regret it. Children can be let go for a walk and keep in touch with them. in the city Very helpful on hikes. The only thing I reflashed them and locked the allowed frequencies only.

Practical product, nothing to complain about.

I came before the new year, took it with me to the car on a trip, it works fine up to two km in the car, the battery lasted 15 hours. I took it from China very cheaply, the material is excellent. Satisfied.

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

BAOFENG UV-5R is not a bad product overall. It's decent as the first radio station and for those who are not picky about a reliable, consistent connection to a connection of medium quality. The only significant drawbacks are that you must manually setup it using a computer and firmware cable because it lacks noise reduction out of the box. Additionally, since the modulation is faint on the air, you must talk more clearly and up close. also create your own! Perhaps this is not a con for…

Pros
  • in terms of value for money and quality. two separate frequency ranges, 136-174 MHz and 400-520 MHz. The range is very nice. About 1.5–3 kilometers separate the two radio stations in the city. depends on how the area has been developed urbanly.
Cons
  • A tiny gap can be seen where the typical antenna is connected. The noise reduction is factory-set to ty, and there are several interferences and instances where it "puffs up somewhere." It would be fantastic if the noise reduction performed as expected. Despite the fact that this RDA 1846 chip performs direct conversion. Not a "superheterodyne" Modulation makes a soft sound like many "baofengs" do. I must talk more loudly and closely! Alternately, make it your own! This is a serious flaw.

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

Bought them for the whole hunting company. 6-7 pieces, about five years ago. Everything works, only my battery is dead, I haven’t gone anywhere for two years, I changed it yesterday, everything works! ) Hangs on my shoulder, doesn’t interfere. I recommend. In the forest 2-3 km works. In the field, I think 4-5, they did not measure, but far away.
