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.



 The Baofeng UV-5R is an economical Dual Band UHF/VHF Amateur Radio that's extremely compact. With 128 channel capacity and up to 12 hours of battery life, the UV-5R is a good choice for ham radio operators who need mobility at low cost.

The UV-5R features 128 programmable channels with priority channel scanning, dual watch and 1750 Hz call tone. Other features include UHF/VHF Dual Standby, 65-108Mhz FM radio, Ani code, DTMF code, Dual display switch and CTCSS manual input. The UV-5R also features built-in VOX (Voice Operated Transmit) for hands-free operation and a high illumination flashlight.

The Baofeng UV 5R has up to 4W of power and is powered by 1800mAh Li-Ion battery pack for up to 12 hours (approx.) of operation. A battery save feature helps conserve power until it is needed.

The Baofeng UV-5R comes with a rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack, belt clip, removable antenna, C-ring earpiece with in-line PTT microphone, drop-in batter charger, AC adapter, wrist strap, owner's manual and a one year manufacturer warranty from Baofeng.
The Baofeng UV-5R V2+ is one of the latest 2014 UV-5R style radios from Baofeng. The transceiver is a micro-miniature multi-band FM transceiver with extensive receive frequency coverage, providing local-area two-way amateur communications along with unmatched monitoring capability. One of the primary advantages of the UV-5R V2+ over the UV-5RA and older models is the UV-5R V2+'s inherent compatibility with Baofeng 7.4V 3800mah and 3600mah extended batteries. This feature really separates the UV-5R V2+ into a class of its own able to perform under heavy use for several hours longer than its predecessors.
