Review on BAOFENG UV-5R5 Dual Band Two-Way Radio: 5W Power, VHF & UHF, Complete Kit with Large Battery (Camo) by Binh Le ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything in the purchase suits, a very necessary product.

For paragliding, I use it. I've been flying with this issue for the past two years, and I've had no setbacks. Compactness, cost, and quality come first. 2 ranges. It explodes "with a bang" at 10–12 km in line of sight. If the flight director is broadcasting anything while the wind is whistling in your ears, a good speaker will let you to hear it clearly, loudly, and legibly. The noise reduction occasionally "clicks". I have to quickly "off-on" to "cure" this condition. That is handled. The battery retains its charge effectively and for a very long time. Obviously during the winter. Worse. dislikes 2022's frosts. The battery quickly discharges between -15C and -18C. But, 7-8 hours of radio communication is plenty. Glad. Satisfied. I suggest.

Pros
  • Price, appearance, and dependability
Cons
  • clicks when reducing noise
