About BAOFENG UV-5R 8W High Power Tri-Power Portable Ham Two Way Radio
Overall Feedback:
88% positive
88% were impressed with the range, but 12% weren't
I have had reception as far as 1 mile away in the mountains through trees covered in snow, which absorbs the radio waves.
The range of our CB two-way radio is about 1-2 miles in the city or less.
90% found it easy to use
Programming my favorite frequencies became easy with the Bluetooth programmer.
It is easily programmable out of the box and there are many YouTube videos available to help guide you if the user manual leaves you wondering.
88% found it durable
The battery life of the radio is good and lasts longer on standby.
89% liked the battery life
The included extended battery has a long battery life. I have used it for 6-8 hours a day for two days in a row before recharging it with 50% still remaining.
