Really good radio, long range and very good battery life
This is the 2nd UV-5R I’ve bought, this time for my brother. We use it whilst driving which is a complete different experience, the range goes for about 4-5 miles on the motorway and about 2-3 miles in the city. The dual band is very useful when we are in convoy with others and the battery lasts up to 2 days of constant use. Sound quality is pretty good and it’s really easy to use. Would recommend buying an external wired speaker mic for when driving. Would definitely recommend!

It is an OK unit
I have been a amateur radio enthusiast for a couple of decades. I really only now use the 2m and 70cm if I am out and about. Hence why I picked these little radios. This one is my 2nd one, that is a Baofeng, my other being the UV-6R. Why did I get this one? Simple for the 8W, or alledgedly 8W. I also run a Yaesu 70D but I find the battery life on that is very very low. So, I got this one, it is smaller than the UV-6R which is nice. Programming the channels, bothe Repeater and simplex is easy, however, by using the Chirp program, this makes it even easier, although, in this pack I got, I did not get the programming cable,. so had to buy one on Amazon, they are around £9.99. The sound from this unit is a little on the tinny side and not as loud as the UV-6R which is a shame, but hey we cannot have everything in a lesser model Obviously, with this radio, you do not get WIRES nor the digital it is purely an analogue UHF VHF transmitter Remember people, to operate the transmitting potential of this radio, you MUST hold a Amateur Radio Licence.. Would I recommend this radio? If you just got your licence and are not sure about if you are going to enjoy it, then I would say as a first radio, get this. Or even as a cheap portable radio to walk around with, yes.

OK product Charging could be better.
Only thing that lets this down is the lack of direct USB charging. You need the base station so charging on the move is difficult.

Puntos positivos: - Potencia mejorada (8-Watts): En comparación con los modelos estándar de 5-Watts, este modelo de 8-Watts ofrece un aumento notable en la potencia de salida, lo que se traduce en un mejor alcance en áreas abiertas o rurales, donde las señales de radio pueden tener dificultades. - Relación calidad-precio: A pesar de su potencia y características, sigue siendo uno de los equipos de radio más económicos del mercado. Es ideal para aficionados a la radio que buscan una opción accesible con un buen rendimiento sin tener que gastar mucho. - Programable y flexible: El BF UV-5R 8-Watt permite operar en bandas VHF y UHF, y es completamente programable mediante software, lo que lo hace muy versátil para diferentes frecuencias. Esto es especialmente útil para radioaficionados o para quienes necesiten comunicarse en varias frecuencias sin problemas. Punto negativo: - Calidad de construcción básica: Aunque funcional, la calidad de los materiales es bastante modesta. El plástico se siente algo frágil, y la antena incluida no es la mejor, lo que limita su rendimiento en situaciones exigentes. Muchos usuarios recomiendan cambiar la antena para mejorar su desempeño y durabilidad. Además, el equipo puede no resistir el desgaste prolongado bajo condiciones difíciles o en exteriores. Es un equipo de radio potente y económico, pero si buscas mayor robustez o durabilidad a largo plazo, puede que necesites invertir en modelos de mayor calidad o realizar algunas mejoras.
