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

Hello! For 10 years now I have been fond of traveling with a metal detector to search for old coins, as well as hiking for ancient fossils in streams and quarries. For such outings, not only good equipment, coherence with friends is necessary, but also the reliability of wearable equipment (metal detector, walkie-talkie, backpack, good cracking boots, etc. ) Buying a Baofeng UV-5R walkie-talkie for my wife was the second event after my Wouxun KG-UVD1P radio, and I was not mistaken! A compact walkie-talkie, just HEAPS of accessories both in the . market and on aliexpress, starting with covers, cables and ending with mega-antennas, tangents and other devices. Moreover, unlike the semi-professional Wouxun, most tactical antennas are suitable for this one (which is important for hiking). The radio is dual-band, amateur - for good, you need permission and a call sign to use it, but after buying the UV-5R, I re-flashed it to all LPD / PMR channels, on which you can talk freely without permission. And of course, for hiking I took a leather case, a Retevis tactical meter antenna .
