Review on TIDRADIO UV-82 Ham Radio Handheld, Portable Two Way Radio, High Power Dual Band Radio with Extra 3800mAh Battery Full Kits (1Pack-Black) by Terry Brendemuehl

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good radio but don't trust the programming cable Cable

The radio seems to be ok so far, perfectly packaged, additional batteries charged 50% or more, additional antenna was in the molded radio packaging, everything declared was included. If you don't have a working programming cable don't rely on this one, it didn't work with any of my radios, once I got my Boafeng cable I was able to program the radio with no problems, the cable that came with it was stiff and seemed cheaply made. I assume the microphone will have the same problems. I will update you on battery life and Tx/Rx issues if any. I'm not new to this radio brand so I know a lot about programming with the CHIRP program.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
