5.0 out of 5 stars Great radios and not so great accessories.
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2024
The radios are great, my first Baofengs. I found that they are easy to figure out with the manual and lots of online videos to watch. The accessories feel cheap made but work good. Overall I’m extremely impressed with the radios and look forward to using them.

5.0 out of 5 stars It’s a $30 radio and it sort of works what more can you ask for.

Honestly this thing is amazing for the price. It’s a great receiver! However it’s a terrible transmitter! You can’t go wrong for $30! These things are the best thing to happen to Ham radio in a long time. They are great for getting new people into the hobby. Being able to get licensed and on a repeater for under $100 really helps to get new people interested in ham radio. Telling someone that you can get your license and then go spend over $800 bucks for a proper mobile VHF radio and antenna is the quickest way to discourage any interest they might have had in getting their license. Granted they will still end up spending the $800 on a proper radio as this thing is a pile of junk but the fact they can try it out to see if it’s for them without spending any real money is great.

When programed properly with CHIRP you can easily use the radio. Now field programming it is a lot harder. Now its called a baofeng UV-5r but it’s 8 watt instead of 5 watts so programming in chirp is a little more difficult. But i was able to communicate with a friend at 5 watts from 4 miles away with obstacles in the way, so the reception is good. When things get bad i know this radio will work so i can keep in-contact with friendlies. When listening to radio the battery last about 15 hours if you keep the volume at half power. If you constantly transmit with the bigger battery you get about 5-6 hours. The smaller battery maybe 2-3 hours. It really depends on the wattage. I was capping my watts at 5 watts. Using 8 watts was really for emergencies if you need to be found. It’s very portable. It can also be set up to transmit voice or data, so it’s versatile. The appearance is much better than my first radio i bought from baofeng.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Radio
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2024
I got this radio to explore HAM and I am very glad I did. It comes with a ton of accessories right out of the box like the Abbree 771 Antenna which while not being the best 771 antenna, gets the job done and is a lot better than my other UV-5R's standard antenna. The bonus battery bank is awesome and I have not even gotten close to using it up. The cable it comes with is also a big help to program with CHIRP, and now I have it customized how I want. Great value and worth it imo.

5.0 out of 5 stars A feature packed radio for a bargain price
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2023
I purchased this radio full-well knowing it would likely be a Chinese, low quality radio. Nevertheless, I figured I would give it a try. I was immensely impressed that it was easy to program with CHIRP and the quality was way better than I thought it would be. The battery live with the small battery is amazing and the larger battery is out of this world.

While the radio will not do all of the things some of the more higher-end models will, for the price point it definitely holds it own and can be in the running for the comparison game.

If you are looking for an inexpensive radio that will do VHF/UHF (and even allow for programming for GMRS right out of the box) this is the purchase to make. In addition, the accessory pack and additions are everything one needs to get started. Highly recommended for sure.

I transport oversized loads for a living and a lot of my pilot cars have VHF being in the pnw and close to Canada. My CB has been on the Fritz and my boss is too cheap to pay someone to fix/replace it so I bought this to use at work and it's awesome. Crystal clear audio LONG range. It's great.

Where else can you get a great quality GMRS or Ham radio for $20-$30? I love all of mine! I have two GMRS and one Ham model. (that I am not yet licensed use) Buy one, try it and if you are impressed you made a super purchase. If you are not happy with it you are out $20-$30.

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2024
I bought this kit to receive the larger capacity battery with all the accessories for my current UV5R, so getting the UV5R8W would be a nice extra for a friend or family member to use when we are out and about. For my product, I was sure to purchase through ABREE as I wanted a "real" UV5R and not a "knockoff" which if you know anything about the Baofengs may not mean much. There are other sellers like Radioddity and a few others that have positive reviews as well. Anyway, I am very happy with my purchase as I seem to have received a nice quality "real" radio. Ignoring that the radio may not be "8W" powerful it is still a great radio for anyone looking to get into comms. This kit comes with everything you need to start messing around, getting a feel for it and the parts, and more importantly, practicing. You may want a fancier radio down the line for many reasons, but this is always a great backup. In the pictures, I show what comes in the box and I compare it with my original UV5R to gauge the size, markings, and look. I hope this review helps you with your decision, 'Over and Out' :P
