Review on High-Capacity BAOFENG BL-5 Rechargeable Batteries - Compatible With UV-5R BF-8HP, UV-5RX3, RD-5R, UV-5RTP, UV-5R+ And UV-5X3 Radios - 3800MAh Extended Battery Pack (2 Pack) - Made In The USA by Robert Hines

I bought the Baofeng because I needed a second HT to supplement my Kenwood TH6-FA. I am a railroad photographer and need two radios for safety when I am in remote locations. I use the Baofeng to scan the railroad frequencies while I use the Kenwood for ham communications. The large capacity battery allows me to use the Baofeng for extended periods.I have one complaint however. The documentation for the Baofeng is useless. It consists of a list of the function of each button, but provides no, nada, zero instructions about how to program the radio or use the various other functions and capabilities of the radio. The only reason it is usable is because I bought RT Systems programming cable and software for both radios for my iMacs. The RT System software makes programming either radio quick and easy, but when I am out in the field I am unable to change ANY programming because I cannot find any documentation anywhere as to how to do that.The bottom line is that this is a terrific radio for the money provided that you can either figure out how to program it on your own or invest in programing software.
