BAOFENG5RM Ham Radio 10W High Power, VHF/UHF, 8 Bands Long Range Two Way Radio Handheld, NOAA, Frequency Copy, 999CH,USB C Charging 2500mAh Battery,6.1" &15.12" 771 Long Antenna-1 Pack Full Kit

Great, full size radio. Don’t settle for lesser and smaller radios, often more expensive than this type. After several purchase mistakes I’ve finally found a good radio. Filled with accessories, everything works perfectly and I couldn’t be happier. If you have been looking for a quality radio for a fair price, look no further, I highly recommend this.

Its a great tri-band radio with plenty of power. 10 watts on Vhf, 6 watts on 220, and 9.35 watts on UHF.

I think this would be a good prepper radio. Pros : USB-C charging, big battery. Similar UV-5R menu, but programmed quickly with latest build of Chirp. Larger overall size, similar size and weight to the old Motorola 200 I use at work. Big easy read display. Multi-band, not just 2M and 70Cm. Extra 771 style antenna included in bundle, but stock seems fine. Also has preset NWS channels, just press "0" for 2 secs. Used it during storm Debbie. This is a " full featured TX radio " if you know what I mean. Cons : Menu is red text on blue, can be hard to see. The UV-5 is better, wish they kept it. Also, if you name a preset channel, it appears in small lower case text, not the giant easy to read frequency. Airband is not super clear, but it is AM. I heard flights 10 miles out on approach. It's better on the Broadcastify app on your phone. Mixed reviews on the actual signal quality and power, but the audio speaker seems louder than the old UV-5. So, for under $ 40, I'll take it. Good bundle value from TIDRADIO. I keep it in the car. Not a Kenwood or Yaesu, but you won't cry if it gets stolen or breaks.

Radio 2 way with charger and belt clip. Comes with instructions. Quality is good

It was clear to me that the 5RM radio was used and not new like I ordered. The radio box was not sealed, and the stuff was just thrown in and shipped to me. The screen protector was missing, and the radio battery was fully charged and installed. The radio was tampered with, and programed channels had been applied with an app, probably CHIRP. The radio does not receive on any channel, so I reset it. That did not work. I do not know who is at fault here. The shipping was fast, and the shipping box was not opened or damaged.update:I contacted the seller, and they went out of their way to help me. TOP TIER SELLER, they even offered to send me a new one for free. Their support was awesome, and they replied to my need right away. The seller/company does not ship the orders out, Amazon here in the states do the shipping. The 5RM radio is very nice indeed and has that much needed weather channels here where I live. The radio feels good in my hand and has some great features. No more than it cost it seems to be a good radio for backup if need for emergencies. I give TIDRADIO DIRCT support & customer service 5 stars.

great price, great battery life for my usage and love the option of USB-C charging (main reason I tried this model) gets better range than I was expecting, bought as a backup radio for work to use on the Rail/AAR frequencies since not all of our Company Vehicles have radios

It does not transmit on duplex. I can program a frequency then go to 29 and program the amount of the offset then go to 28 and program minus set for 2 m and it will not transmit if I go back to 28 and turn the offset off then it'll transmitting turn it back on and it will not transmit. I'm not sure whether this is the fault of Baefeng or the dealer. Of course there is no way to get ahold of Baefeng. And so far the little card that I got in the package with the dealer's name and phone number has done no good they won't answer a text and the phone's always busy. I expect I'll have to send it back and either not buy one or buy one from another dealer.

The radio itself is solid and has a lot of power however the one I've got has a humming noise when transmitting so I have to send it back for refund. Hopefully it's just the one that I had and I got the Baofeng 5RM instead.
