About Baofeng UV-5R Ham Radio Handheld UV5R Dual Band Two Way Radio Long Range Walkie Talkies
Overall Feedback:
95% positive
90% were impressed with the audio quality
The audio quality is crystal clear with long range.
I was impressed with how easy it was to program the radio using CHIRP and the audio quality exceeded my expectations.
91% liked the battery life
With heavy usage, I have found that the basic 1800 mah battery has a long life on a full charge.
The battery life of the walkie-talkie is decent and lasts for a whole day before needing to be charged overnight.
The walkie-talkie battery lasts about 15 hours while listening to radio at half power.
The battery life is amazing with the small battery and out of this world with the larger battery.

97% appreciated the ease of use
The walkie-talkies have a good range for the field and can communicate with different radios on different bands. They are also easy to use.
When programmed properly with CHIRP, it is easy for me to use the radio.
92% found it weather resistant
I dropped the walkie-talkie while hiking and it was exposed to light rain and dew overnight. However, it still worked the next day and I was shocked to see that it was still functional.
