  • Far from the 1W max claimed in the specifications. The best I got was 500mW and on PMR it drops to a mere 200mW. Very disappointing as it's basically a half watt radio.
    The unit was set to max power via programming cable, the battery was fully charged and the test was performed on a decent meter to an appropriate dummy load.
    On low power setting I got 100mW max. Brand new unit as well.
    I'm getting tired of inflated power ratings on Baofengs to be honest, how desperate they seem these days resorting to these tactics.
    Don't let them fool you and check the power levels claimed.
    Best regards.
