Good quality radios for the price. Note: The frequency bands and power output requires you to have an Technician class FCC license to operate on all of the bands of this device.

The Baofeng UV-5R Two Way Radio Dual Band is amazing, especially for the price! The performance is solid, and the dual-band feature makes it versatile for all kinds of communication needs. It’s easy to use, reliable, and has great battery life. I’m so impressed that I’m planning on buying another one. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly, quality two-way radio, this is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!

This Baofeng has an amazing build quality and hasn't failed me yet. The power isn't as strong as it could be but is easily extended with a different antenna. Would recommend it to those getting into the Amateur Radio Hobby.

Excelente estado

Great little radio. Seems to be very well built with good craftsmanship. All knobs and buttons are firm and nothing feels too cheaply made. For the cost of this radio, you cannot find a better deal. Excellent value.

Cubre una muy buena distancia, ideal para un escenario laboral o de coordinación. Además de contar con múltiples canales y subtonos.

El problema lo tuve con esta última radio que compré aquí por Amazon, se me descompuso a los 3 meses de uso el parlante por lo que no puedo escuchar cuando me hablan, y no sé como preguntar al vendedor donde puedo checar si tiene garantía con el fabricante, comenzó a sonar raro con el volúmen alto, y después de un rato simplemente dejó de emitir sonidosAl parecer solo tenía batería baja jeje ya se compuso pero aún así no hay respuesta de cómo solucionar en caso de falla

Es un muy buen radio para lo que lo uso y facil de programar con el programa Chirp y teniendo el cable de datos adecuado, muy practico

Es un excelente producto, relacion costo beneficio, compre 2 unidades , su programacion , se puede realizar de forma manual o por pc , hay muchos videos en youtube que explican las funciones del menu y programacion de canales, este equipo no es para escuchar bandas de bomberos policias etc , es recomendable agregar canales libres FMS Family Radio Service, permitidos en mexico usa etc, y las demas frecuencias para la escucha o recepcion , excelente equipo para iniciar en el mundo de la radiodifucion

Los usamos en obra para mi equipo de pintores, estamos en una torre de 9 pisos y llega bastante bien a todos los niveles y casi no se cruzan con otros radios, además de que trae radio FM integrado que se corta cuando alguien habla por el radio.

el radio es un equipo muy economico con una excelente cobertura de frecuencias , de facil funcionamiento, en su empaque viene todo lo que debe de traer como : Bateria, clip, cintilla, antena, handsfree manual, garantia y el radio.de ahi en fuera el equipo es de un tipo de plastico que por el terminado se ve economico se ve brilloso es muy sensible a las transmisiones de otros equipos ya que si transmites con un equipo distinto y en distinta frecuencia el Baofeng lo detecta.no he probado la distancia de transmision pero al perecer es muy buena.

Su uso necesita de configuración, no es ese tipo de articulo que desempaques y este listo para usar, sin embargo es fácil de configurar despues de ver un par de tutoriales para configurar la frecuencia que deseas usar.

This little radio is extremely powerful and has a great battery life (multiple days of standby power if you enable power saving mode and don't transmit) and it has a removable antenna so you can attach something like a Nagoya, Yagi, or custom coaxial antenna to it.If you buy the extended battery or even just another standard battery, you'll have more battery life than you know what to do with, unless you are constantly transmitting with VOX or you're constantly listening to FM radio with the volume turned up!The stock antenna is pretty good compared to the other more expensive Baofengs, but upgrading to a nagoya NA-771 removes a ton of the faint background hiss on both rx and tx, as well as increasing the tx range quite a bit. From my bench, I couldn't really pick up any additional FM radio stations when scanning through the entire FM range using the Nagoya vs the stock antenna, but what I did notice was that every single station came through crystal clear after swapping the antenna, whereas before it would pick them all up but some stations definitely had poor reception unless I would walk all around the garage looking for a good signal path.It has quite a few nice features but nothing digital, and doesn't have true dual watch monitoring, but with TDR turned on for me I'm able to monitor two frequencies and pick which one I care about more so if they're both active it will let me listen to the "preferred" frequency. It has dcs and ctcss codes for accessing those repeaters, and supports DTMF codes for dialing into Internet relay repeaters or echolink repeaters.As far as ease of use, you will need the manual to decipher the different options in the settings menu. There are some websites out there that give a more detailed breakdown of the menu options and their descriptions, as well as youtube videos to demonstrate more complicated things like programming or connecting two Baofengs to make a mobile repeater. Both of those capabilities require a different cable, not included.Finally, regarding programming, you DO NOT need to get the programming cable as you can do everything right from the radio. If you want to look up different frequencies of your local repeaters and store them in the memory channels, you can do that pretty quickly and easily right from the radio once you learn the flow. Where the programming cable comes in handy is when you want to add a hinge number of pre-programmed channels to the radio, but IMO there is no need for that. I tried it with all the virginia repeaters and found that only 1 or 2 ever had any traffic, even when I would go driving for hours and leave it on channel scan mode. Where I think the programming cable would come in handy is if you routinely traveled out of state (like from the east coast to the west coast) and you had a different set of frequencies and repeaters and settings for each location that you wanted to be able to swap between easily. When you go to the west coast you can just backup your east coast profile to save any changes you made or any new frequencies you saved, and then restore the west coast profile so you're able to make changes and save any new frequencies you find there. Then when you're ready to come back, just save the west coast profile to the computer and restore the east coast profile.
