and he absolutely loves it! He uses it everyday, all day. The battery lasts all day with no problem. Programmed in local police and fire for him to monitor (disabled TX capabilities). Cheaper than a scanner and works just a well (well for what he needs to listen to locally). Used these radios in the past for ham radios, good entry level radio.

Great radio, easy to upgrade, great quality for the price.

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2022

Style: RadioVerified Purchase

The BaoFeng UV-5R is the best radio ever made. That may sound ridiculous for a $20 handheld but stay with me for a minute.

There is no other radio that offers all of the basic features you might want in a handheld at this price and honestly I would recommend the UV-5R over any other radio under $100, because any additional features you would get out of another radio in that price range won’t be enough to justify the increased cost over the UV-5R. Honestly the only real reason I can see to get a more expensive handheld is for something a bit more durable or something capable of digital modes like DMR or P25.

This radio isn’t perfect but it gives you everything you need to get started with radio communication for less than I would pay to eat out for dinner once, and while it’s not the most durable, if you do break it you’re only out $20. There is a lot of value in the fact that I don’t have to worry about breaking or losing it, which is something you don’t really get from any other radio.

I say it isn’t the most durable but that doesn’t mean it’s flimsy either, I was really surprised when I picked mine up for the first time and found it surprisingly heavy. The plastic the radio is made out of doesn’t feel flimsy at all either.

The UV-5R isn’t perfect, the stock antenna isn’t very good, but for another $20 you can get a Nagoya 771 antenna that works great with it, and if the battery it comes with isn’t lasting long enough for you, you can get an extended 3200mah battery that will easily last you all day (they also make the radio look a lot cooler). The keypad also isn’t great, it feels fine but it’s very easy to accidentally double press a button which is a little annoying.

If you have ever been so much as curious about radio communication, definitely pick one of these up and play around with it. Maybe watch some youtube videos on how to set it up though, the instructions aren’t great.
