Review on Walkie talkie Baofeng UV-5R 8W (3 power modes) by Dagmara Wiktoria Woj ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best thing I've ever used, a great item for everyone!

I have had a walkie-talkie for 5 years, I use it periodically, I ordered it on Ali, as well as dopas for it. A cool, at a normal price walkie-talkie, although a copy of Kenwood, but very good, I know that you can program the channels so that the numbers are displayed, and not remember which frequencies for which channels yourself, but I didn’t immediately get confused by this, but now I’m already used to it. A big plus is that it supports multiple ranges. We often used it in the movement of the column both along the road and through the forest, there are no complaints. Bought an extra for it. we tested the antenna, the whip about 40 cm and the antenna on the magnet to hook it onto the roof of the car, the antenna on the roof is bull, but with the whip the connection turned out to be stable for a long distance in the city, about 4.5 km, the building is variable, that is, the private sector and skyscrs . I also ordered a tangent for her, but the quality of the microphone is terrible, I don’t use it. Refinement of charging I did this a long time ago, so I’m telling you approximately, on the charging board I’ll lower there is a charge control bug (microcircuit), so it gets very hot and quickly degrades and dies, it needs to be “cooled”. A friend gave me a soft heat-conducting material and through it I pressed down a copper plate, which I placed at the bottom under the board, the main thing is to isolate myself from the rest of the board so that nothing shorts out. I recommend it, a good walkie-talkie at a good price, many friends have similar ones, I haven’t heard any particular complaints.

Pros
  • Price, communication quality, several bands, the ability to connect another antenna.
Cons
  • Of the shortcomings, probably only a charging station, I read on the forum that it often burns out, but it can be finalized, then it will work for a long time.
