Reception Quality

Customers generally have a positive opinion about the reception quality of the BAOFENG 5RM Ham Radio, with some mentioning good sensitivity and sound quality. However, there are a few who noted that it doesn't put out a full 10 watts as advertised but still consider it quite sufficient for most people. The package comes with multiple antennas, which can improve the reception further. Some customers also appreciate the USB-C charging on the battery and the clear LED screen.

Great selection of features, love the size and heft to the radios.

This feature is *finally* becoming common on ham radios, and the uv-% series getting away from desktop cradle only is a massive step up.

Not good for aviation frequencies unless very close to transmission sources

Price

At around $30-$40 each, it is also worth keeping several around as spares or in your vehicle.

Feels really good for the money and lots of great accessories.

This baofeng 5rm ham radio 8w long range price point is for two radios.

My opinion is you just can't beat this package with all the accessories at this price

Shipping

I contacted customer service via the link here and their response was that they don't service products sold on amazon.

A few random ham frequencies were programmed into this when it arrived.

Packaging/appearance

It is very nice that upgraded 771-style 15-inch whip antennas are included in this package.

The package comes with many accessories too.

Competitiveness

This kit includes 2 radios plus all extras for not much more than some vendors charging for one.

It also works fine with chirp (an open source software used to program these radios).

In addition, you get an abbree ar-771 antenna and a baofeng remote speaker microphone.

The 5rm is one of a new flock of baofeng radios that has been coming out.
