  • Great ham radio, unbelievable price.
Color: 1 Pack
This is clearly a BF-F8HP, with all the pros and cons. Looking at the buttons shows it. Managing it with chirp proves it. Without the correct name, you can't set all 3 power levels. Worked great with chirp on my M1 Mac on MacOS X. Just follow the instructions (install the older version of python per the instructions) and it worked very easily. I hear that the power isn't as advertised. Many point out- it wouldn't matter much. It's over 5 watts, and for a handheld, that's fine. The accessories (spare battery) are awesome. Just like the UV-5R, you can't plug DC straight into it. That's a Baofeng problem. It means if you go on a trip you need to bring the silly "dock". Fine on a desk, tough to keep charging if you don't have counter space. At this price, I have no fear travelling with it. It's presumed less durable than my Yaesu, but for my use, that's fine. That durability would matter a whole lot more if you were separating from civilization and needing it for emergencies. ... show more

  • This little thing works very well
Color: 1 Pack
I bought this radio a few years ago but never used it until recently when I did get licensed. My Elmer told me it would never work and the ground plane Nagoya antenna system I bought was junk. Well I can't afford the antenna he suggested so I researched and made this system work. I have this radio running on an external power source into 12.75 wavelengths of RG8X coax at 146 MHz and the final 1/4 wave ending with the antenna for 13 wavelengths total. This radio puts out the full 8+ watts depending on the outside temperature. In the cool 65 degree F morning it is 8 watts, in the afternoon almost 10 watts at 146.720 MHz. The antenna was not tuned at all, and sits on top of a 25 foot collapsable flag mast. This radio and antenna system can reach repeaters over 40 miles away and with the Utah linked repeater system I can talkto people in Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Arizona, Nevada. I consistently get exceptional signal reports on our weekly nets. I would definitely buy this radio again hands down, and probably should right now as a backup. I would suggest a different hand mike as the one in this kit has a short cord, (but works just fine). I am completely satisfied with this little radio and it performs WAY better than I ever expected it to. ... show more

  • UV-5R 8-Watt UHF VHF Dual Band w/FM and Bundled with accessories/extras
Color: 1 Pack
Ammended 01Jan21: ----------------------- Okay, got the replacement and all of that was as expected, excellent service from Amazon and etc. However, this one was packeaged differenetly, fully relabled some other Baofeng "dba" with labels litterally one pasted over the other. I have no problem with that, BTech, Greaval, Baofeng, Profung, etc. -- I don't get it, but not my issue. However, in this one, again, the box, as shipped took a hard shot on it's end corner where the Radio sits and accordion-ed in a bit; the plastic tray the radio sits in was buggered, but otherwise all "looked" okay. -- However, the Mic, again, not working. This time the button appeared okay, just not working. It keyed up the radio when installed the plug end, "transmitted", until seated, then -- nothing, no speaker, no mic. Also, in trying all the buttons and switches I noticed the likely to be "heavily" used Up [^] arrow didn't work all the time. It took several pushes and hard to activate. The Down [v] was fine, crisp and immediate. So, when I went to return this one - prepared to try yet again, or apply the credit on Amazon to immediately apply then to a replacement, -- nope; return only and refund to the original payment method. I am perfectly fine with it that way. And, I believe I am allowing allot of room for issues, "bad luck" of the draw in a mass produced item; but, it's New and not really any less expensive than any other model, -- just came with all the accessories (which do look less than the radio, so sketchy in a bundle like this, in my opinion). I am not sure how much the +3 Watts up from 5 W this 8 W effectively is in terms of value or "need" to have. As I am digging in deeper every day, -- it may not be a 63% increase in transmit power more than bandwidth and a noisy signal. (8 W from 5 W is 63%) I get the difference. Now the 5 W versions are even more attractive to buy and could have two for the price of this and yet none of the accessories that may not be used, or functional as expected. So, as "new" to this, - it's allot to navigate and just note my process and context of review. If I was (and will be) a FCC Lic'd operator and could fully test it and compare with experience to gage, I'd be detailing that. For a "Prepper", it looks like this or the 10 Meter may be the ones or 1 of Each to have if using for Emergency Prep Communications for a "Katrina" or "911" event where all com sys are off line. I hope that helps someone. ======================= Initial review/comment: New to UHF/VHF in this context, but not "new", generally speaking, - it appears as good value. It's hard to determine if purchased separately, - if same quality at non-bundle price how great a value; nonetheless it reasonably appears as a good way to go as a first purchase in this period of time. The OEM box took a solid "shot", with accordion folded end, - then packed and arrived in the outer box pristine, -- however, it made look close at the contents, like a "puppy with a coconut" for all I knew I was looking at. And, as luck would have it, the "Handset" mic that plugs in, looked very lightweight/cheap and sure enough, the "Button" was broken. So, all must have slammed against that. Otherwise, I would not have known, -- definitely not going to "PTT", key up. - Otherwise, it all looks like reasonably good quality, generally speaking. I have no way to check the spec/ratings, - but there seems to be plenty of folks who have already. So, I used the usual great service from Amazon to do an Exchange and will likely get the replacement today. When I progress, if I have anything significant to add, I will. However, again, - it seems there are plenty of highly proficient folks who've vetted this all out as well as it can be engaged. (Yes, I am proceeding with the Technician FCC Lic., and too as a "preparer", nevertheless, exploring the HF, and etc., SSB's as allowed, freebands, - since there are so many frequencies to then get lost within, there needs to be a Base of "base" initial call/contact frequencies with TSHTF stuff. For me, the only reason to engage this. But, who knows, once Licensed, there does seem to be allot to do otherwise, -- again.) ... show more
