Review on πŸ“» BAOFENG UV-5R Dual Band Radio - VHF/UHF Transceiver for 144-148MHz & 420-450MHz by Jerry King

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Had to change transmission range to 2m

I have bought 4 Baofeng radios in the last ten years. Everything worked great. All open repeaters of my Yaesu FT-60 with Diamond antenna cannot do that. Bought this for a new ham. When delivered, it does not transmit on 2 meters. Goed through all the menus etc. I opened the radio in Chirp and the TX band was set to 150MHz-170MHz on 2m. Simple solution after discovery. Deducted a star for 20 minutes of desperation. Haha!

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • Damaged
