Review on High Power Tri-Power Portable Baofeng UV-5R Two Way Radio for Ham Radio Enthusiasts by Mateusz Uliasz ᠌

Baofeng UV-5R has good functionality and technical characteristics, which even some branded manufacturers have not dreamed of. There is a good review of this radio Got pros: Good quality case and nice looking. Fits in your pocket. Receiving sound is normal. During the transmission, everyone praised the quality of the modulation. The radio station has already been in the rain and fell into a puddle - it continues to work flawlessly (maybe just lucky). Through the programming cable using the CHIRP program, it is convenient to drive channels into the station and assign them understandable names. It is a pity that the maximum length of the channel name is only 7 characters, but many do not even have this. Different cons: After six months of use, the buttons are a little worn out. The battery indicator starts to show a discharge at the very end, when it's time to charge. The native antenna is "so-so", but for $5-10 you can buy a better one.
