Ham Radio UV-5R Pro 8W Dual Band Two Way Radio with Handheld Speaker Mic and Antenna 2Pack and Programming Cable

Super happy with these. Crazy cheap and they work great for the price.

I mean its a rebranded baufang. it works great and all the name brand options parts and accessories work with it. battery life is amazing and range with a extended antenna is unbelievable. has gotten wet and dropped and still works like new. good little radio package

These radios replaced a few that quit working. This is the 3rd set for me in 12 years. These Baofeng radios are great for repeater work & short distance queso's. I started on amateur radio with a Baofeng uv-5 in early 2012 & I still use them. They last a surprising amount of time. For the money, these Baofeng radios are very hard to beat! These radios are low enough priced so if one breaks or is lost, it's not that big of deal. I've cross-banded with a mobile radio as well as a base station. The 8 watt claim is close. It can push 7 watts. I must add that you MUST have a VALID FCC Call Sign and not use if for anything but uhf & vhf. The fines can hurt or kill your bank account!

Good value and pick up great.

for 90 bucks, getting 6 professional radios with a bunch of extras, definitely is a great deal. All products came find and nice condition. very recommended.

The good:* Functional* Inexpensive* Versatile (in terms of certain features)* So inexpensive, that if lost or broken or stolen, you really won't even care.The not so good:* Lower end materials and construction. For example the LCD, while absolutely readable, is harder to read than most.* Pretty rotten speaker mic. You sound poor to others and the speaker in it is pretty awful. The actual radio mic and speaker though are alright.* Using these around "some people" may cause you to be negatively stereotyped.* Possible poor performing as relates to spurious emissions (suppression of harmonics while transmitting). I say possible because historically these series of radios have been a mixed bag when tested/measured. Odds dramatically improve with more expensive (even just moderately so) radios and is of almost not concern with top end brands.Want something that works but is super affordable? Consider this and it's type of equipment. Don't mind spending more for better? If so then maybe pass on these, unless you plan to use/store them in harsh ways where you won't cry if they break.

Great radio

This is the perfect starter kit for a beginner ham Radio operator. Even for advanced at this price you can afford to keep one in your glove box as well. Or just in a backpack.
