BAOFENG Radio 5RM Ham Radio 10W Long Range AR-5RM Rechargeable Handheld NOAA Weather Receiver Two Way Radios Walkie Talkies for Adults with 2500mAh Copy Frequency 999CH Type C Charging,2Pack

Wow. Great price and extremely well made. Long-range depending on terrain and which antenna you use. Long lasting rechargeable battery.

Fast delivery! For the money, these radios are hard to beat. I was able to program with both chirp and Tidradio wireless programmer. I like the fact it can be charged via USB and came with both short and long antennas. The display is sharp and clear.

Nice but should have had better instructions. Also it really needs a switch for 5 to 10 watts.

I was a bit hesitant to buy these radios but figured if nothing else I could give them to the grandkids to play with. But they are really good, my wife and I tested the range and even with the short antenna we could hear each other about 3 miles apart with her in the car with the windows up. I use one at work, the sound is clear and the volume is good enough that I can hear in my dump truck over the sound of the traffic. My wife and I are going to take them with us camping.

The UV-5RM is a decent radio for the price. As far as features per dollar go this is easily a 5 star device. In the ham universe, Baofengs are mostly a love it or hate it thing. I have been a licensed US general class amateur for about 10 years, I like them. The AM VHF aircraft band reception is usable. This also can serve as a good low budget public service and marine band receiver. Please be sure to set the Duplex mode to ‘off’ to prevent accidental transmissions. The FM commercial broadcast band also works very well. With the free chirp software, use the ‘5RM’ setting under Baofeng radio for easy programming. You will need a programming cable.I did do a quick TX power test and achieved the following results into a dummy load; note – listed by band and H/M/L power setting.2 meter - 9.7/7.6/3.6 Watts.70 meter - 9.4/6.1/3.4MURS - 9.6/7.8/4.4GMRS – 8.6/5.6/3.2This device is not approved for MURS or GMRS operation.

Got two for Christmas and liked them so much I bought two more. GMRS, VHF, weather, I thing UHF but I never use that, I use VHF and GMRS and they perform outstanding. You do have to program them manually but I't not bad if you read the instructions. The programming cord that came with one set was useless unless you can read Chinese. Outstanding value and the price is unbeatable. Buy with confidence.

Work well so far. Bought these as a replacement because I lost one of our radios at work. These have a pretty nice range and are powerful enough to work through several story buildings.

The radio is okay when it works. But go into the setting and change ANY SETTING and the NOAA weather radio will stop working and start picking up radio stations. The only way to get NOAA back is to factory reset the radio. This is also the issue with programming a frequency to a saved channel. No NOAA after that. These radios are garbage with no tech support. Do not buy these broken toy radios.
