Excellent value - complete kit
I've used this HT as a mobile and as my base with an additional Nagoya magnetic mount antenna and speaker/microphone that i purchased separately. I can run the radio with the mic and antenna connected, sitting in it's charger base which also adds stability. It works well, easily hitting a local repeater that's 10 miles away.
EXCELLENT VALUE
YouTube is an excellent source for learning how to program, though I have yet to conquer the programming software. Scan function is a bit slow, you won't want to pre-load too many repeaters into the memory anyway. You will want to pick up a rubber washer to fill the gap on the antenna upgrade, but worth the minor hassle. Love this radio, has replaced my Yaesu ft290 as my primary, unless it is raining!!!
Good Buy
Good value. Has all the things needed to get started in Ham Radio. Too bad the programing disc and cable don't work.
Fantastic Baofeng Ham radio Starter Kit
Excellent value for the price. Very well built, durable unit. Lots of great accessories included. Worth every penny.
Great introduction to ham radio
The small hand-held unit is very inexpensive, but does a good job of reaching repeaters with a good quality signal. The unit was pretty easy to program with both 2 meter and 70cm repeaters - and with 120+ memory was able to program repeaters along a 4 state trip. This unit makes it easy to get into ham radio without having to invest a lot of money. The starter kit has everything you need to get on the air once you have your license.
Great for a new Ham
As a new Ham, I was a bit skeptical of the UV 5R from the reviews I had read. I decided to take a chance with this set. No regrets. The guys at Buytwowayradios.com. have taken the time to correct all the problems associated with this radio. I followed the directions exactly using their cable and driver program and was able to program with Chirp easily. I now use this radio daily. I am able to hit all the local repeaters and did well on simplex during a recent club exercise. I am now thinking of buying the Wouxoun mobile kit buytwowayradios has put together! I highly recommend this set, especially as a first radio for a new Ham!
Great product. Great Supplier.
Use for hobby
nice
yes
Nice package for a starter kit.
Nice package for a new ham to get started and experience a little of the ham world.
Outstanding Customer Service and a Great Radio
YES I will buy my next radio from them! Now I'm new to Ham and am still studying for my license. So all I can say is that I received everything listed in their ad and all functions work on both radios.
