Shipping
Product came as described shipping was a little delayed but did come as expected and product works phenomenally
Packaging/appearance
The package included the radio, belt clip, carry strap, usb charger and cable, a nice earpiece/mic and 2 antennas.
It is still a good compact size which makes it easier to pack as it doesn't take up to much space.
Look on amazon for nagoya na-320a triband ht antenna 2m-1.

The transmit or pushtotalk button is a little too sensitive for me but thats not a big issue
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
My only complaint with this model is the sensitivity doesnt seem to be as sharp as the original uv5r even after adjusting the squelch to the minimum
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Other than that i say thanks to baofeng for allowing people to get into the hobby of amateur radio without putting a hole in their pocket

Where this baofeng really distances itself is in the following areas
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
First of all i doubt this radio is 11w
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Im 85 certain i recall that 10w is the limit set by the fcc too if so then even if this radio were 11w it would not be legal
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
It really doesnt matter though because the output power is not what makes this radio or bundle stand out and power isnt as important as most folks think
