Review on High Power Tri-Power Portable Baofeng UV-5R Two Way Radio for Ham Radio Enthusiasts by Park Seo Jun ᠌

The original "workhorse" model, which served as the foundation for the development of a large number of various walkie-talkies produced by Baofeng; some of these walkie-talkies have greater power, while others have greater ranges; yet, this model is still considered to be a classic. It does not have the typical protection against moisture, which can be remedied by using a cover. This model is also compatible with an extensive selection of add-ons, some of which allow it to function as a stationary vehicle radio. Via the use of a specialized connection, programming can be done remotely from a computer (sold separately). It receives power from the network via the "glass," though batteries and other glasses that may be charged by USB are also available.
