BAOFENGUV-5RM 10W Ham Handheld Radio Long Range with Tactical Antenna, Portable Two Way Walkie Talkies for Adults 5RM Multi-Band Radio with Air Duct Earpiece & 2500mAh Type-C Battery, 2 Pack

Received the Two Radio Kit. One of the standard Antenna was not working, we could not get signal form radio to radio form even 75 feet apart. I moved the antenna to the second radio, the issue follows the antenna. I contacted MaxTalker the seller. Amy, with MaxTalke, was quick to response and able to send me out a replacement Standard Antenna straight away. Great Customer service! Now Both radios are working great. I've very please by the purchase.The battery life is great, I charged them fully and left them on all night with the screen set to backlit on and in freq. scanning all night. When I awoke they were still going strong with about 1/2 to 1/4 battery remaining. The UV-5MR I'm able to listen to my nearby airport Air traffic and with the software I'm able to lockout the PTT on these Freq. so I don't accidently hit the PTT and cause interference. It does have a learning curve, however there are plenty of videos and help. These radios are a good Purchase. My bother bought a pair as well.

Arrive fast, complete with everything advertise. Looking forward to use, the delay is the Chirp program does no download to MacOs still researching, may have to use windows , other than this is going to great to use.

This handheld ham radio is packed with many features, including FM band and Aircraft band.When listening to FM radio, the amateur radio frequency transmission will break into the FM band. Some may like this feature and some may find it annoying.The volume control knob fell off after just two weeks, and I went to Ace hardware and bought a rubber grommet to replace the broken and lost volume control knob.But this radio was only $26, a bargain for all the features and far less money than Japanese radios that I own.Sincerely,KG7QYL

Arrived quickly and in good condition

These are great radio’s and inexpensive. They can be charged with usb which makes them great for car to car communications on long trips.Easy to use with the easy to read manual. Comes with a lot of extra accessories.This pair I put in a faraday bag with a portable solar battery pack. Because these radios are inexpensive and charge with a usb I can afford to leave these in a just in case storage.

I got these for emergency use since we live in a rural area and figured that it would be beneficial. While I am licensed as a marine radio operator from my days as a boat captain in south Florida I can definitely say that these radios are just as powerful and have the same features as the expensive Motorola radio that we had as a back up radio as required by the coast guard . I was so impressed with these I had to order two of the ones with GPS for our cabin and a 6pack of the walkie talkies. I do plan on getting my Ham radio license as well and plan on taking a class that one of my old high school teachers is teaching. I was showing them to a good friend of mine from school who lives farther out than me in fact he is only a few minutes away from our little cabin in the woods and hunting cabin. But my buddy went home and immediately got on Amazon and ordered a set for his farm and loved the idea of the walkie talkies for guests to use just in case they get lost on his 100 acer property. While they are out exploring the farm.Would I recommend these? Definitely and for the price you can't go wrong. I do think that all the fit options should include an extra battery and a radio pouch that can be secured to the belt. But I did pick up a few of the radio pouches on Amazon. I would have definitely loved having these in Florida during the hurricane seasons that we went through in the 30 plus years that I lived there.

Out of the box a good radio, simple to use and program, only 3 stars as one of the two radios has quit working in less than a year.UpdateSeller saw the issue I posted and issued us a new radio, no hassles.Great customer service.

Happy with the radios so far. I am only licensed GMRS right now but I am studying for the HAM license. I like that these radios do both.They came already programed with the GMRS and repeaters programmed.We tested them the other day and were able to transmit around 5 miles with the tactical antennas.I purchased an adapter that will allow us to use the radios with our motorcycle headsets and we will be using them on our big group rides as they will have a much longer range than our Bluetooth based headsets.Shipping was fast and the seller sent an email to make sure I was happy with my purchase and offer support if needed.
