Review on Baofeng UV-82(5W) by Micha Poklkowski ᠌

I'd been using a "proprietary" Vertex and a "Chinese" kenwood for a while before deciding to get a baofeng-82. I bought it at a neighboring discount shop. People who had heard things like "these are cheap 1.5-cotton fakes, real 5-8-cotton jackets are expensive here" decided to go to the Tsaritsyno market and see for themselves. They got the same result with different antennas; it's around 4 or 5 watts. Thus providing circumstantial evidence for the claims that "the Chinese have finally made a good native antenna" and "all bao-82s are the same, sellers' stories about" fakes, low power, etc. "from competitors are nothing more than" divorce to justify the latter's high price. Radio listening is one of my favorite past times. The baofeng was overjoyed because the reception quality was so much better and because it didn't matter where in the apartment the Chinese kenwood was located as long as it was on the window. The benefits of a better antenna appear to be repeated. Battery. reported to have 2800 mAh capacity. The battery only weighs 80 grams and is quite small. The Vertex brand's 1200 mAh battery is substantially lighter (at 180 grams) and healthier. It appears that the forum posts claiming a "real" battery capacity of less than 1400 mAh are entirely accurate. Charger. When plugged in, the power supply's bright red (usually "Chinese") LED lights up the room. And the charging glass, devoid of its contents, lights red and green; this is a police-only chandelier. It's hard to fathom why someone would act in such a way. The weight of the glass is 40 grams, but the ancient Chinese had 80. The power supply is still the same 40 grams (for the original 200), making it practically weightless. The Chinese as a whole have learned to save quite a bit in this area in just a handful of years. At the office. Works. Bao also has interference when the vertex with the kenwood "interferes" (city, several kilometres of sparse buildings). The online surveys seem credible to me. I didn't measure anything, but "on this one you can make out two more words at a distance of 20 steps further." PS. The headset that comes with the walkie-talkie is usually removed and sold separately. Don't forget. Don't give in to the temptation of a plus zonagsm. Satisfied.
