Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Robust, affordable, essentially unlocked for non-ham bands. I'm a novice ham and found these radios to be easy to program. Messing around with other friends testing different antennas.

Great programmable radios to do anything from frs to shortwave frequencies. They transmit and receive well.


Cons

These are not genuine baofeng radios. Cheap as junk, literally. Not real abbree antennas.

Quality

I use them around the house and let me say the sound quality is crystal clear and the look is even more awesome.

My experiences with the extended antennas have been a real hit or miss.

They only come with the large battery and not the standard one so be aware.

Order the product and amazon did its thing.

Price

We just got these coz price was decent & seemed like a good quality.

The baofeng uv-5r is a bargain for what little they cost.

    Make sure you understand the frequencies that you can use if you have no license

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It seems the only real difference between this radio and a uv5r are the three power levels

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Thats not a bad thing at all it just doesnt match whats advertised

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The fcc has their previous enforcement and interaction listed online in a public database

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    These sour hams spread horror stories about people getting tracked down for transmitting without a license or using the wrong frequency

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    When they do demand links to the fcc database and the case number

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The fcc does not hunt you down unless you cause repeated intentional and serious disruption in any band

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If you use these on murs or gmrs while technically against fcc rules they do not have the time ambition or resources to worry about these minor indiscretions
