Review on Baofeng UV-82(5W) by Ognian Atanasov ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The item is of good quality, there is only one minor defect.

Of course, it is well-coordinated, but there is no water or dust protection at all, and anyone who claims otherwise either does not know what they are talking about or is in the business of selling these stations. The RDA chip is same, but is housed in a more practical anatomical packaging. adequate for the price. Demanding more from the direct conversion receiver, in my opinion, is absurd. The good news is that the cost of Chinese VHF whores is steadily decreasing. Although occasionally at the expense of the components that make them up:-) More of my LiveJournal entries regarding this transceiver can be found here.

Pros
  • Price for a good build. plus a double PTT rocker for some. Not a bonus in my opinion.
Cons
  • Overestimated battery readings on the battery itself, as usual; actual measurements are between 1700 and 1800 mAh. Despite having a "empty" PSU and memory, it nevertheless manages to function. The question is that long. missing button for the frequency/channel switch
