Model overview based on user reviews
The Baofeng UV-5R is a popular and affordable portable walkie-talkie known for its dual-band capability and wide range of features. Users appreciate its durability, with some reporting it survived being run over by a car. It offers good reception and can catch service repeaters up to 50 km. The device is easy to use and allows for antenna customization to improve range. However, the standard antenna is often criticized, and many users recommend upgrading to a better one like the Nagoya NA-771. The walkie-talkie is compact and reliable, with a battery life that lasts about a day in active use. Some users have noted issues with the paint on the buttons wearing off and the lack of water resistance, suggesting a protective case for harsh conditions. Despite minor defects, the UV-5R is highly recommended for its excellent price-to-quality ratio and is suitable for various activities like hiking, fishing, and security.

I took it as an amateur radio from Infotech. I thought how good it was that there were 145 and 433 MHz + FM radios. They sent it for the New Year. I turned it on and immediately discovered that there was no reception anywhere. The scanner also didn’t pick up anything, I had to disassemble and reassemble everything again. I discovered that the FM worked, 435 MHz - something hisses, 145 - nothing. There is no transmission, although the screen changes color. I wrote to the company - just excuses. I understood - no money, no walkie-talkie. They say Happy New Year. The mood has been spoiled in old age. So, think about what you are taking. They may not publish me, but my soul is lighter. no Only disappointments |
I drove over it in a passenger car, while the wheel stood above it from evening until morning (it fell out of my jacket in the dark and I didn’t notice), plus the walkie-talkie was lying in wet snow, the LCD screen was cracked, I soldered it with a hairdryer, the walkie-talkie works! All that remains is to order the screen))) Durable, good reception. Catches service repeaters up to 50 km. The buttons on the keyboard are erased use Baofeng UV-5R more than year |
I'll say right away, this is a PURELY CIVIL radio, so don't even think about taking it to the front lines. I got it before the war for hiking and communication, but even in the first days of the full-scale conflict, they also came in handy, simply as a backup for close ones. There are many defects, but the price is low. You can adjust it to your tasks using a programming cable. Cheap Fairly reliable, if not defective from the factory Many spare parts on the market Can be flashed via cable The paint on the buttons wears off quickly. It's no longer a drawback, but a fact that in 2024, this is strictly civilian communication because it's an analog radio, so there's no encryption, only subtones that can be matched in a minute with the same type of radio. |
