I have bought two of these radios One for a gift to a 92 year old radio amateur who is very happy with his unit. He told me that it did not present a challange and he was amazed at the range of frequencies and its ease of use I am also a radio amateur and can not believe the quality for such a low cost I would not use the word cheap. Very good value indeed.

This radio gets 4 stars ONLY because I also purchased a programming cable to use with CHIRP to program it. If it weren't for the cable, this would be a 2 star review. The radio is virtually unprogrammable manually. The reason it isn't a 5 star review is because the cable (the legit ones not the cheaper knock offs that don't work) adds another $24 to the radio price. All-in-all though, I am glad I purchased it. Favorite feature? The battery life. It is phenomenal

The Baofeng UV-82 HP is a very nice quality Chinese built radio unlike the UV-5R series the radio does not feel like a toy and is some what larger. The speaker has been upgraded to 1 watt of out put which makes for a LOUD radio, especially in a noisy environment. The accessories that can be found for this model adds another star. The radio three different power settings of 1w low, 5w med and 8w high adds another star. The extra watts make a difference when trying to hit a repeater especially in an urban/city areas. In my experience I have averaged approx 7.5w on high and 4.4w med and actually 1.3w low so thats not all that bad for such an inexpensive HT. Some people complain of the radio having low audio due to tiny mic holes on the front of the case. The solution I have seen and have done is to either take a small drill bit and carefully make the hole diameter a little larger, or talk a little louder or closer to the mic, which ever gives you the best audio. All in all this is a great must buy radio, at least for a go kit if nothing else! 73!Read full review

I choose Baofeng because of it's dependability. It's reliable beyond a fault. Which makes it a top choice because combined with the petite size. You can use it, store it or even slip it in to your pocket or in any small spot with ease. It's water resistant which makes it purfect for hunting or any out door sport with out worry. I will continue to frequent this supplier of Baofeng fine radios. Because the Baofeng radio is such a great investment they go together hand in hand a great supplier great product thank you.

This is a well built VHF/UHF handheld radio for a very reasonable price. It is loaded with features that add to it's versatility for a short range communication device. It works very well when it is programed for repeater use. Simplex operation is limited to a couple of miles due to the 5 watt output. Programing is best done with a USB cable and CHIRP software. Manual programing can be tedious at best. All in all the Baofeng UV-82HP provides reliable VHF/UHF communication at a very affordable price.
