Quality


Awaiting a couple extra batteries for the uv3r so ill use it for my purpose to mainly monitor some vhf


Of course the radio has no keypad which makes programming a pain but it is possible but so much easier with the programming cab...  Read More

Price


Wish it had alphanumeric letters to program in repeater names but price is awesome


This is good radio at a terrific price


Still my favorites are the yaesu ft60r kenwood thk20a in hts but i have a place for the low cost baofeng radios that actually ...  Read More


4stars for my purpose at the price tad under 30

Packaging/appearance


I set our licensed frequencies and then set volume at about 34 and then locked the buttons

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Although the features of the more expensive models are nice i am always afraid i am going to lose it or it will get stolen

    Thus if you lose the charging cradle you are out of luck


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The cord but not the charging cradle is backward compatible to the uv3r

    I do not plan on using it as a base station or a mobile station and im sure that if i put it on a high gain antenna the intermod will make all kinds of noise and probably desense the radio so bad itll render it useless


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Flashlight works even when the radio is off

    I expected the runtime to be half this it really blew me away that it lasted as long as it did
