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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It has some flaws but the product is usable.

It is impossible to produce an excessive amount of writing on the subject of the walkie-talkie because so much has already been written about it. To engage in recreational activities such as hunting and fishing, so that it would not be a waste if you were to lose it or break it - it will suffice. It is recommended that one invest a little bit more money and take it with a superheterodyne in order to maintain regular communication. On the deuce of the NA-771, the record for audibility is 120 kilometers (of course, at the other end there is a directional antenna, a very high point, and decent power, so you won't shout in the opposite direction). The sensitivity of the receiver is turned up very strongly. But, even interference from the local network is causing the receiver to become congested, and as a result, its selectivity has dropped below the minimum. When you're inside, you can only work with a signal that's really strong. It is better in the field and on the street, there is no fountain in the city, and the city is full of all sorts of alarm trinkets and other low-power transmitters, which place the receiver even further away from the operational frequency. Those who can tolerate pure ether may be pleased, while the rest of us may be disappointed. You are able to maintain contact with the repeater at a distance of 10-15 kilometers, but any interference will cause the entry to become blocked, and the result will be something like "here I hear at 59 with a wide margin, but in half a meter there is no way at all." To a significant extent, a plaything that furthermore calls for registration.

Pros
  • inexpensive and compact
Cons
  • Receiving signal via direct conversion comes with all of the associated drawbacks. Hard, little buttons that are painful to the touch.
