    Excellent product, the best quality.

    This is the third radio of this model that I buy. Previously, the first generations with 2 operating power ranges (1 and 8 watts) were purchased. One of the walkie-talkies, after 4 years, began to receive worse. You can poke around in it, but the time spent will be great. It's cheaper to buy a new one)) Moreover, 3 power ranges are a plus for my operating scenarios. That's just upset that the radio was cheaper. I didn’t take it apart and I can’t say how much it affected the filling, but…

    Pros
    • Listens to 2 channels at once. Power 1.4 and 8 watts - we choose what is more important now: coverage area or saving batteries (for driving in a column, the minimum power is enough "for the eyes" and the walkie-talkie lives longer). Dual tangent. It is possible to work in the "pre-flashed channels" mode - I filled in the LPD and PMR range. Built-in radio and flashlight. Replaceable antenna and Akum (I bought an Akum for 3800 and a "whip" antenna for 42 cm) There are ample opportunities for customization, including software.
    Cons
    • No water resistance. The price reduction affected this brand as well.

    Satisfied with the product, I recommend it to everyone.

    The product was purchased on 03/03/2022. Order delivered by PickPoint. When inspecting the damage on the box did not notice, but noticed a little later. Okay, everything seems to be intact. There are no additional stickers on the box (somewhere on the site I saw stickers with 2022 text). I can’t specifically point out the advantages and disadvantages, since there have not been field trials yet. The radio groans in the apartment, there is no interference on the street. I chose between UV-5R and…

    Pros
    • Assembled well
    Cons
    • The quality of the chassis metal is incomprehensible.

    I will never repeat this purchase.

    Perhaps a marriage, but still not pleasant. Loaded the radio. I worked for the day, I came home and put it on charge. I was surprised that the charging light is not red but green. The power supply to the radio is more than it should be. Apparently the electronics failed and more than necessary is supplied to the radio. And the strangest thing is the indication. That is, the glass does not see the walkie-talkie at all. In general, I think that this is a marriage . Charging worked correctly 1…

    Pros
    • Good range. She performed well at work.
    Cons
    • A charger that can burn a walkie-talkie. More details in the photo below

    The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

    Suitable for simple everyday tasks. operates six walkie-talkies in two groups. Admins on the same frequency, and all together on a common frequency. The charge holds one day exactly, with an average radio exchange, even in the cold.

    Pros
    • Cheap, reliable, easy to set up. With finer tuning, it’s quite an alternative to Yeasu for not very responsible tasks. Double PTT button, can broadcast to two groups. Oh, and FM radio
    Cons
    • Without superheterodyne and input filters. The simplest scheme. The battery is far from the capacity that is declared.

    Good quality product, I rate this purchase excellent.

    The usual Chinese walkie-talkie entry level. Differs from the 5R model with a double ptt button. It is convenient when you work on two channels with a headset - you do not need to take out the radio to change the channel. All basic settings are made from the keyboard, no need to connect to a computer and buy a special cable, unless you want to give the channels names.

    Pros
    • Ease of use. All basic settings can be made from the keyboard. double button ptt
    Cons
    • Watts in power - Chinese. In fact, at 8w it produces about 5w

    Everything in the purchase suits, a very necessary product.

    I searched for a long time according to reviews and ratings and chose this particular model, I figured it out for a couple of days, searched, watched videos on how to set it up and use it correctly. Good quality. The packaging was a little wrinkled, but the contents were not damaged. In the future I want to buy an additional battery with more power and a larger antenna. I'm not a pro, but my colleagues advised me. Decent device

    Pros
    • Semi-professional, many functions and even FM radio
    Cons
    • Not

    I didn³'t expect the quality to be this good.

    They did not test any farther due to the conditions, which included a building with one story, a distance of two kilometers, and a decent reception. Under the circumstances of movement, there was interference between the two walkie-talkies in the two cars; however, the norms were maintained for approximately one kilometer. Has some pros: Excellent in relation to its cost. The battery was delivered in the same manner as described. Got cons: In metropolitan locations, buildings with multiple…

    The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

    pieces 4.5 watt, 2-8 mi, were purchased. joyous with each and every person! After two years of operation, one of them suffered a shattered glass of charging, and his hands were unable to reach far enough to fix it. a multitude of accessories!

    Everything about the product satisfied me, the price is perfect.

    The walkie-talkie came in a complete set as it should, everything works even the radio))) three modes 1,5,8 w (compared with a 5w walkie-talkie, it takes further even with a standard antenna in urban areas) I don’t know if it was lucky or it was intended)) )

    Pros
    • Everything came safe and sound
    Cons
    • Did not reveal

    I'm not completely satisfied with the product.

    The walkie-talkie came, everything works, but the flashlight does not function, of course, the walkie-talkie does not affect the work of receiving the transmission! But the sediment remained! Not nice! New walkie-talkie and no longer working flashlight! Apparently they do not check the goods before sending! Packed well! Delivery without problems! In general, the radio is good! I put three stars for a non-working flashlight!

    Pros
    • It came as stated three power modes, 8 watts, reception and transmission work perfectly!
    Cons
    • Flashlight not working!

    For such money you can take. Has pros: Good value for money. Convenient buttons, but it rather depends on the kazmer's hands and habits. Complete with headset, base for charging. In the fields of 4 km it is stable, I did not try further. In the city it was checked, legible communication 2.5 km. In the car it catches normally 1-1.5 km on the highway there was a connection, I did not check further. You can take, if not long distances for communication, mushroom pickers, fishermen, hunters will…

    Did not find any pluses with the product, I don't recommend it.

    Took two walkie-talkies along with Baofeng tangents for skiing in the mountains. Probably, my review will be useful for skiers and snowboarders. You will not get reliable communication in Krasnaya Polyana or any other large or medium-sized ski resort with these walkie-talkies. Basically, that's all you need to know. The communication range at maximum power is 1100m in the city, 2200m in the countryside. This is very small for a walkie-talkie with such power. The second is the sound quality. At…

    Pros
    • Moisture protection, appearance "like a real walkie-talkie"
    Cons
    • Communication range, battery capacity, sound quality

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    Great value for the money, definitely recommended!

    I've been playing for less than a month, everything seems to be fine. But I did not delve into the depths of parameters and frequencies. I set the allowed LPD and PMR ranges and reduced power. Contact from the third floor to the first is enough, but more is not needed yet. With its pros. Looks good, connection is established. Musical FM radio receiver and flashlight. The flashlight came in handy on the first day of use. With its cons. There is a tangible entry threshold into all these…

    I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

    Pros below: Excellent equipment, everything you might need comes in a box: a headset, a strap, a clip, of course, a charger. The battery lasted for 8 hours of use. With its cons. Not very clear instructions, the setting had to be googled. It was not always possible to notice that the radio sat down.
