Highlights

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Quality


These are good quality with the bigger battery.


Sound quality is good and can talk about two miles away.


The tx audio quality is pretty low, and they put out spurious emissions out of band.


The longer whip antennas are worthless and provide no benefit, and only add to the 'picket fencing '.

Price


Good deal for 2 radios and 2 sets of all the accessories.


Even if all you do is listen, these are worth every penny.


For around $30 per unit, you get (some) ham, gmrs, frs, murs, marine band, weather band, and even fm radio!


Value priced with larger battery and higher gain antenna.

Shipping


Shipped within the week which is super fast.


They were on all day and used periodically throughout the trip without very much battery lossas for the ease of use, basic use is great.

Competitiveness


So many options, i can do about 5 of the 50 functions but it does that better than any $50 set i've owned


Just as good of circuitry as way more expensive name brands that cost 5 times as much.


The uv5r can be used as ham radios as long as you have the proper licensing with the fcc.

    There are a lot of people out there that will bash these radios but from what i have heard and watched those people are mostly upset that the spent a lot of money on other radios that have the same functions but spent 3x the amount of money
