Baofeng UV5 Radios
Amateur Radio operators
are a funny bunch of folks. Some are brand loyal and others are not. I
fit in the category as not being brand loyal. If a product works it
works. I own Icom, Yaesu, Alinco, TenTec, Baofengs, Kenwoods and Motorolas among other brands. I
can say without a doubt and a owner of 11 Baofeng Radios that they are
indeed worth the money. They may not have the Big Brand stamp, however
every single one I have owned has worked GREAT. I was sold about this time last
year when I found one I had lost while trimming a tree. The UV5 was
missing for 3 months. I did not see it hanging from a branch for that
time period. My son brought it to my attention one day and I recovered
it. The unit was subjected to several rains and also a snow storm during
that time period. I charged the dead radio up and powered it on. Not
only did it take a full charge, the unit powered up and functioned
perfectly. To this day I am still using this radio without any issues. I
really thought this cheap little radio was a goner after the exposure
to the elements for 3 months however it was not. Very Very impressed.
Besides, a radio this cheap, if you lose it or break it, it is easily
replaced. I would recommend this to ANY level amateur radio operator.
