programing
the instructions are vague and hard to understand. It lacks ease of being able to programmed with a simple stroke. It is confusing to have to go back and forth between channels and frequencies to program the radio. Also the antenna connector should be a bnc instead of the one that is on it. And it could do with out the gimmick like the flash light and siren. What does that have to do with a two way radio anyway.??
nothing better for the price
Let's face it. A radio like this has never been available before for anything less than 100.00 and probably twice the price. It performs as good or better than specs and equal with some japanese radios Durability unknown at this time... time will tell cheap to replace or keep an extra programmed radio as backup
Baofeng up date
The Baofeng portable is very a ruggedly built portable. it has great reception and seems to be able to handle what ever is thrown at it. I use one along with others and they keep on working well in all kind of conditions. I use them on the trail when i am out riding and that is dusty hot rainy conditions. the audio is very good to excellent. then range is surprising good from such a small package. I own several of them and they all are working just fine. I do find that the battery doesnt quite last as long as advertised but you can work around that. other wise it is a big bang for the buck..
basic cheap radio
i am not happy with the way it programs not very user friendly
Baofeng UV-5R
Great Radios, simple, inexpensive, reliable, battery lasts forever.
Great Radio
I've only had the radio for about a week, and it's working as promised. It's a great little, lightweight radio for the price. After downloading some aftermarket instructions, the programming went much faster and easier. I'd recommend this radio to any HAM looking for a small compact radio.
great value
Easy to program and navigate through menus. great value, handy all round radio
Awesome radio!
Best radio you can buy for the money. Comes with an upgraded Antenna. No need to upgrade.
Best packaged product ever.
Purchased two radios. One from this vendor. Both work, but the radio from this vendor is flakey in that it programed ok but in function - if you change channels or switch from a/b you must turn the radio off and then on to receive or transmit. Works OK other than that.
Unable to program
I gave the radio to a friend who programs radios for the local PD. He was unable to program it as a two way. I bought the program and the cable. I really wanted it for a scanner and a backup two way but now I just use it as a scanner. I could have sent it back but didn't want the hassle. It was a great price so I just use it as a scanner. I am satisfied.
