Review on High Power Tri-Power Portable Baofeng UV-5R Two Way Radio for Ham Radio Enthusiasts by Guo Tai Lim ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The quality was generally satisfied, there were minor shortcomings.

It arrived today, and when I started to inspect it, everything appeared to be OK except the FM radio. The mode activates and goes silent. Nothing is helped by scanning or manually entering data. Later, I learned that the Chinese had stopped delivering walkie-talkies with radios, if only to beg for older batches to be sent. Nonetheless, it is disappointing that what is claimed to be on the market is actually not; they were mislead. The transmit button on the headset, which does not function, gives me the impression that it was typically attached to another walkie-talkie because I previously owned a UV-5R. Unless the microphone is tested, everything else functions properly for transmission and reception. In general, if you take it, be prepared for the possibility that the headset and radio won't function.

Pros
  • finished set; transmit and receive functions.
Cons
  • The button on the headset and FM radio are inoperable.
