    Great little radio, but ......

    This radio is great only if you already know how to operate it or you are very patient in figuring out the features and how to manipulate them by trail and error. The instruction manual is very poorly written having many deficiencies. The programming software disc did not include information on which (of the many included) files are needed, to be loaded to a computer. Blindly selecting the setup file and hoping it would extract what it needed and do the rest, was not fruitful. After failed attempts, I used the free and very easy to use CHIRP software instead. The transmission reports and reception qualities are very good. I recommend this radio. I would have given this product 5 stars if Baofeng would have provided a comprehensive user guide / information.

    Works great other than.. one radio does not charge in the cradle.. I got 2 cradles and it won't charge in either cradle... I put the non-charging battery on the 2nd radio with the same results... so I have to assume it's the battery... so buying 2 radios with 1 working battery (when it dies) ain't worth a damn.

  • Lots of fun

    So far they have been fun to use. I mostly scan the frequencies for chatter. I will probably order a longer aerial / antenna to get better reception (maybe even pick up ISS as it flies over - they getting better Ham radios in December so that could be fun). I still need to figure out all the features on the radio and what channels are open to use and which ones are restricted. Maybe look at doing a course and get registered Btw you can change the back light to orange, blue or purple or off. I use blue for incoming and orange for operating. Remember that radios only work with line of sight. I've managed a 5 km test with a good line of sight.

  • Good report quality price

    Is a good product , report quality and price . Best performance in city in UHF. Easy to program it by cable , can combine different squelch mode , sensitivity medium , range 2 or 3 km in urban environement. The body case is of raisonable quality , battery autonomy around 8 hours in conversation. In stand by 24 hours. The sound is clear and the best performance will be with two similar model. The quality and power of radio is not in the same range of best brand like yaesu , or motorola , or icom but is a raisonable compromise for the price. Good choice,

  • Baofeng is a serious competitor at a remarkable price!

    For a while, I have heard Amateurs remarking on Baofeng radios. To be honest, I really never gave it much thought and liked my "name brand" HT. One of my biggest pet peeves, "big name" radio manufacturers, market a mobile or HT for a year or two, then discontinue the model and promote an "upgraded" or "improved" model radio. After discontinuing models, it's almost impossible to get parts or repair a favorite radio. I have to laugh because a lot of people, ( Amateurs included), want and are demanding "micro products". At one point, radio manufacturers were attempting to under size the competition. One would market a radio the size of a deck of playing cards then another manufacturer would market a radio the size of a Zippo lighter. Old fart wind-bag Amateurs I knew when I first was licensed, would take pride in their new toys and brag about how they could fit their radio in their shirt pockets. I guess recharging a HT with a battery life of four to six hours was not an imposition to them. I don't like or want a radio in which you need a toothpick to use the numeric pad or the radio being so tiny the only way to hold it is between your index finger and thumb with a ptt so tiny and awkward, you have to check to ensure you are pressing the ptt and transmitting. I hate these micro radios. The smaller they are, the more fragile they are and the smaller the heatsink has to be. Operators want tiny, but, they also demand maximum power output. All that energy heat needs to go or be dissipated someway. I like radios that fit solidly in your hand and are durable. I like that I can talk consistently for 4 to 6 hours at 4 watts and still have almost a full charge in the battery, unlike a big name HT I have where the maximum QSO at 4 watts is 8 hours. My XYL teases me and laughs at me because when I find something I really like, if possible, I purchase more than one for two reasons; the first being due to manufacturers charging a small fortune to repair a radio which most likely cost them a quarter of the retail price to produce and second; the previous reason stated, they market a radio for a limited time, then discontinue it. One of my favorite HT's I purchased about 10 years ago and really liked it. I used it very frequently and wore out the antenna to the point it needed replacement. I would have purchased two at the time, but, purchasing one was enough of a major expense. Within a few years of purchasi g the HT, it was discontinued and parts were unavailable. The radio was accidentally knocked off the table and damaged. My kiddos didn't mind, they got a new $400 toy. For what I spent on big name HT's, mobiles and base stations, I could have purchased several Baofeng radios and opened my own radio store. I currently have 3 Baofeng HT's. All of which were very reasonably priced, are 8w pep, have just enough features to be easy enough to use without a cheat sheet and large enough to fit in your hand comfortably. They are easy to use and have a pep output that rivals other radios. The sound quality is of a radio twice the price. Standby time far surpasses any HT I have owned. Even with the power save feature on minimum, you still get a day and a half of continuous use without needing to be charged. They are basic, well constructed HT's which do their main function flawlessly. At one time, I could see a need to have a clock and alarm clock on a HT, however; there are not a lot of people who do not have a smartphone, a tablet, or a chronograph/alarm watch. These radios have enough features to perform their main function as well as keep you safe, including a FM radio and emergency alarm which transmits a code you can program I to the radio memory. They are easy to program through direct input or using CHIRP and not need a graduate degree to understand or use the features. These radios are built very solid and can withstand the tortures we may inflict on them on a daily basis. If you need or want an inexpensive handheld with a main function of being an exceptional radio with a battery life lo g enough to last with minimal charging this is the radio for you. Whether you have just obtained your license or are an OM, there is a Baofeng/Pofung which will suit your needs without having to mortgage your home to purchase one. Read some of the reviews and feedback on Baofeng radios. Very few people have issues with a radio and those who do, are resolved very quickly. Baofeng's are exceptional, durable8 radios with a very inexpensive price which will keep even the most finicky Ham happy without being overwhelmed with unnecessary features most Amateurs don't use on a daily basis anyway.

  • As expected and solid product

    An impressive array of features, these are solid products and work as expected. The variable power settings and clarity are excellent with optional narrow reception for urban use and wide band reception for rural use. While not lightweight they are not excessively heavy. Due to the significant number of features they are not exactly simple to use but they are not difficult unless you want them to be. The range is acceptable on a peak-to-peak level but would require repeaters to work valley-to-valley; fortunately they have a setting that you can use a repeater if needed which I will likely try in the future for hunting. There are two issues that I found undesirable with these units. First is the battery design; the battery life is relatively low and these units require their specialized batteries. Units which accepted standardized rechargeable batteries would be a huge improvement since charging batteries on a daily basis is not feasible in rural settings and these will not hold out for a multi day trip. Perhaps designing a battery pack that accepted rechargeable/replaceable batteries? I would also love to see a download map with GPS mapping added but the only products I've found with that addition are the $300+ Garmin units. Delivery time was very slow but that was made clear at the outset. At the price I'm very pleased.

  • Nice inexpensive HT

    These are decently made HTs. There are possible issues with spectral purity that you should be aware of. When directly connected to measuring apparatus, you can measure considerable harmonic emissions from some of these radios when in VHF mode. Less so on UHF. It's possible that the antenna supplied with the unit helps attenuate these emissions. You should verify compliance before using them on the air. There is also consumer feedback that the charging system may overheat if used in a hot car with the mobile 12v power supply on the base charger. Probably thermal runaway caused by the hot charging environment. They program easily with the most recent version of CHRIP. Configure for a Baofeng UV-82 model. These are not Baofeng branded radios. They are "Sainsonic for Baofeng" which basically indicates that another manufacturer / marketing company used a Baofeng radio card in a repackaged radio. These are sometimes called "Fake", but are actually better described as a "Generic" radio made using "Baofeng" components and components from other manufacturers. As with anything, you get what you pay for. These are very inexpensive, but they do work and would make a good backup radio.

  • Yeah! Its great to listen to a lot of channels!

    Seems good.. however the connector that you wear around your had thats made of rope broke in the first few days. but everything else seems "strong" and reliable.. I wish the scanning feature was a little faster in terms of scanning "all frequencies" or all channels similar to how the dual channel works.. great product overall! :) it would also be nice to have a setting to disable talking on specific channels that are saved in the 127 channel options...

  • Great radios

    I own 4 of these radios and love them. Super easy to program using CHIRP, or the factory software, but CHIRP makes it even easier. You can't beat the price and quality. The seller ships fast and backs their products. If your thinking about it go ahead and get this deal, you won't be disappointed. Light weight, easy to see screen, clear transmission and reception. Thank You

  • GT3TP, YES OR NO, THAT IS THE QUESTION

    So far this radio is living up to expectations, Since first considered to be used as a scanner then finding out what's covered under the bandwidth of this little radio (FMR,GMRS,MAINE, and others) makes ideal for my uses. A detailed user guide would be great, I use an older radios guide for reference. The 8 watts of transmit power has yet to be tested but overall a great buy.
