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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good value for money, I recommend it.

Connecting to an extended antenna results in low selectivity and, as a direct consequence, dirty sensitivity in the urban environment. But, I will compare it to the FT-60 and the VX-8. The price is over one thousand times more than average. In quiet settings, it will typically open with turnips; the modulation is not as smooth as ice, but it merits a solid three for its level of understandability. Enjoy yourself in just two different ranges, that's all. You can put it to use for employment, the question of providing service to others, and for money if you have a strong desire to do so.

Pros
  • There are many things, and even something as simple as an FM receiver can make a security guard's day! You can listen to radio stations on 2 bands, and you can even converse with other people using a repeater. In the forest, a distance of two meters is preferable (although LB is better, of course). This is one of the stations that is easiest to get to in order to stay in touch with the many windfields that operate on 2 meters. A reasonable battery in relation to its cost.
Cons
  • Selectivity, Automatic Gain Control, and Modulation
