Ham Radio Walkie Talkie (UV-5R) UHF VHF Dual Band 2-Way Radio with Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Handheld Walkie Talkies Complete Set with Earpiece and Programming Cable (2 Pack)

Could not believe the range. I live 2 mountain ranges away from a friend that I gave the other one too and they live in the valley. And it was really clear. Like being in the same room. Better reception than our cell lhonesy

for a newbie to ham radio this is great

Will be buying another.

This is a great starter kit. Pound per doll hair this is on point. You might be able to find it cheaper elsewhere but this exact product is worth your money. Only complaint I’d really gripe about is the difficulties in programming the radio itself. And that’s not due to the company or packaging. It’s due to the radio itself. Once you get the hang of it it’s not that hard to use it to it’s potential.

My quoted date was 28 December for delivery, but I received my radios the day before Christmas! After charging all four batteries, I downloaded the chirp software online, found my repeater sites, and uploaded them into my Baofeng. I had problems transmitting and receiving, so I went outside on a hunch. I could see the repeater tower and started transmitting. I got a reply and started doing a radio check by running through the three power settings. Even at the lowest power level, it was loud and clear. After a week of jumping on a few nets, they always complemented my radio of being loud and clear, with no distortion. The walls in my house were aluminum struts, which effectively grounded my signals. Now that I remembered from tearing down a wall, I won't soon forget. Next time I'll purchase another Baofeng radio for my shack but this time with three bands. Don't hesitate, buy it and do your thing!

I ordered two and one package was missing a battery. I ordered a replacement and the same thing happened. Two orders two returns. Moving on.

Bought them as a gift and now I want a couple! While a little overwhelming at first, the radios come with a good instruction manual that explains just about everything you need to know if you have the patients to read it all. I could get the radio to connect to my PC but couldn't figure out how to program a bunch of channels, but I gave up extremely quickly as I am impatient. Highly recommend these bad boys to anyone that likes electronics and lots of cool accessories!

I have a pet peeve about companies that try to make their product look just like some other highly successful product. This may be a fine radio, but they try to make it look like the well known brand, BaoFeng, and it's not a BaoFeng radio. Judging by other reviews, it seems to work well enough. I'm not going to the trouble of setting it up and programming it when what I wanted was a BaoFeng radio. This company is charging premium price for a different name brand. I'm returning these.
