No Better Way To Spend Thirty Bucks!
No Better Deal Than This Radio!With all the features and accessories this comes with, I can't think of anything better to spend thirty bucks on and get so much for so little. Anybody would love this as a gift.Without going into the specifications and such that is repeated here, I will concentrate on the features:The battery lasted 18-19 hours when in scan mode.The receiver in this radio is excellent -better, stronger and clearer than my Realistic 200 Channel Scanner, the old Bearcat and the cheap Uniden 10 Channel.Get cool accessories for cheap. 4 dollar 14" antenna, 7 dollar AA battery adapter, 6 dollar USB cable, 9 dollar auto adapter pack, 7 dollar remote speaker/mic, & more. The cool little canvas case costs more than the must-have accessories at 10 bucks! -lol.I recommend buying the "SMA Female To BNC Female Convert Adaptor For Two Way Radio BaoFeng UV-5R FD-880" so you can easily & quickly disconnect your radio to & from BNC antenna connections.Wonderful support online. People have re-written the owner's manual and converted it from Ingrish to English. YouTube has tons of great video demos, instructional tutorials and reviews for this radio. Check it out!Free apps for programming and customizing the radio. (CHIRP is a good basic one.)With the software you can Upload & Download your settings, save settings, easily setup all 128 channels, offsets, Skip for scanning, customize welcome message, arrange & rearrange, create names for the frequencies/channels, etc.You don't need any software for this radio to be fully functional, but it does cost very little for the cable and helps immensely by allowing fast & easy changes instead of flipping through menus on a tiny screen over & over, while allowing you to have many different "setups & configurations" for different purposes. My "welcome message" is a description of the "setup". Saved and easily loaded and unloaded in seconds.I played the FM radio fairly loud with the LED light on for over 9 hours.The little LED light is a great feature and much brighter than I expected.I read in a review that if you get the AA battery adapter pack it will last 27 hours.I keyed the mic for '10 seconds on' and '10 seconds off' for over 30 minutes without stopping and the battery level indicator never dropped a bar. It did get a little hot on the rear-top of the radio from transmitting 5 watts almost non-stop and that is normal...just not normal use. There would be periods of silence when it would cool down more normally.Mine did not come with a European Wall Socket Adapter as shown, but it did come with the Earpiece accessory!Also, mine did not come with a software or driver disk. You can find that online for free if needed, or order the cheap USB cable and it comes with it.The PTT button (Push To Talk) is a "little weird to get used to" but once you get a feel for pressing it in the "right spot" it's fine, but I do wonder about the longevity and how it will hold up over time.The 'jeweled" design On/Off/Volume knob is strange, but I kinda like it.Unlike the newer design models, this one will stand up by itself on a desktop or fairly level surface. It will easily fit into a shirt pocket or use the included belt clip or hand strap.I love the small hand size. The buttons are not too small and allow for direct frequency entering or immediate channel selection, DTMF Telephone Tones, and once you start digging into the settings menu that has over 35 different settings and features, you start to see this is a serious little contender priced so low it's almost ridiculous. But alas, China is able to manipulate their currency and subsidize their corporations to undermine the US economy in order to bring you this little gem of a radio.The Scan Function is slow compared to "regular scanners" at around 3 channels per second.Shipping and sold through Amazon was fast & easy to return if anything is unacceptable.If you know someone who is even remotely interested in scanners, radios, camping, Ham radio, or End of the World Preppers, this is a perfect gift!Photos:RED TX Screenhttp://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51cP3X75PNL.jpgBLUE RCV SCREENhttp://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51WIJm1HZDL.jpg-Hope this helps!

Style: Two Way RadioVerified Purchase
The original UV-5R, which this is, offers unprecedented flexibility for an analogue radio, which is why it is so popular. It is up to the operator to configure it, which does allow for illegal configurations. It also tends to leak more EM radiation than better manufactured radios (such as Kenwoods, Yaesus, etc). It is also a lot more flexible than the above mentioned. For configuration, I would suggest using CHIRP – stay away from the Baofeng configuration software, I wouldn’t trust it at all.
Some notes:
1. Many of the radios appear to work fine, but as soon as you attach a programming cable, mic or headset into the two pin port, the sound stops working normally – it then works
a. Easy fix (which I won’t recommend but has worked for other people): Take a q-tip and trim off most of the fuzz. Dip it in some rubbing alcohol and shove it in both of the twin ports and twist it around – do this several times. One port is smaller than the other and there won’t be much fuzz left when you shave it enough to fit the q-tip in. Its ok, still works though
b. Apparently there is some grease / glue / something which can break loose when you first insert a mic (or the programming cable for CHIRP) – this cleans it and your radio will be 100% afterwards. I’ve done it with two successfully
c. Remember, this violates warranty and I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS!
2. Always buy these radios from Amazon. No, I don’t work for amazon, no I don’t get kickbacks from them on anything. Everything sold by Amazon (including other vendors) gets the Amazon return policy
a. QC on these radios (and much of the radios made in China) is, uhm, sub-optimal
b. Trying to return a radio to a Chinese manufacturer is really really really really hard
c. Leverage amazon’s return policy and be happy
Pros
1. Highly configurable – you can get it to do what you want, and with CHIRP it isn’t too arduous
2. Reasonably robust, much more than you’d expect for the price
3. Absolutely inexpensive, and combined with robust, means you can get extra and not worry about breaking the bank
Cons
1. Not certified for FRS, GMRS or MURS, so you can’t legally use it on these Freqs
a. They are not certified for any of them
b. Some people do use them on these freqs anyway and are careful to set the FRS freqs to “low power”. I would not recommend this, of course, as it is against the law
2. Higher EM leakage than well-made radios – not a huge deal though
3. Need to test all radios on arrival due to poor QC to make sure you can return them within the amazon window. I strongly recommend connecting a head port (or other two pin connector) before testing to make sure it works afterwards. See note 1.

Le doy cinco estrellas por las siguientes razones
Diseño:
El radio es tan pequeño que cabe en la palma de tu mano y su peso es el equivalente a tres iPhone 5 +/- lo que lo hacen sumamente práctico incluso para traerlo en el bolsillo del pantalón, en el chaleco, en el cinturón o en la mochila.
Funcionalidad:
Excelente cobertura, le puedes sacar en ciudad fácilmente unos dos kilómetros en ciudad densamente poblada y con obstáculos.
Es extremadamente robusta su carcasa al igual que los botones están adecuadamente protegidos del agua.
El volumen es adecuado (desconozco el motivo por el cual algunos comentarios indican lo contrario).
La pantalla se encuentra iluminada y puedes controlar cual de los tres colores que tiene te agrada mas (mera estética)
Es programable mediante cable (compra adicional) y el software libre CHIRP que para programación básica es muy intuitivo.
Las bandas de uso libre de acuerdo a la legislación mexicana son:
A. Bandas de frecuencias en VHF:
I. De 153.0125 Megahertz (MHz) a 153.2375 MHz.
II. De 159.0125 MHz a 159.2000 MHz.
III. De 163.0125 MHz a 163.2375 MHz.
B. Bandas de frecuencias en UHF:
I. De 450.2625 MHz a 450.4875 MHz.
II. De 455.2625 MHz a 455.4875 MHz.
III. De 463.7625 MHz a 463.9875 MHz.
IV. De 468.7625 MHz a 468.9875 MHz.
Nota: Hubo cambios recientes en las especificaciones de la ley pero no hay mucha variación.
Y estos radios se mueven en dichas frecuencias sin problemas.
Precio:
Es un precio ridículamente bajo para las funciones y la robustez que ofrece (he visto Motorola talk about hasta en mas de $1,000 mxp y nada que ver con este), de ahí que no me impresiona saber que uno que otro puede llegar a tener algún defecto como el expuesto
