I have four. Every one of them requires a different programming file. Different firmware. But I still like them. If I want to reprogram them, I have to export the data and manually adjust the settings on each radio, but it could be way worse. At least they're all Baofeng's - so that's all I have to do. I've quit the other brands. They're all just Baofeng, anyway. I don't have all day, just to pay four times the price in order to wrangle with software and try to use a display I can't see outdoors. Buy yours all at one time. Maybe get lucky.
i have both the uv82 and uv5r i don't understand you saying the uv5r is useless and you couldn't get anything on it. pretty much the same radio. I find both very usable.
Great review / video ! I've been thinking of getting one of these to add to my vhf / UHF HTs. I need an HT with 220 band in it. I'm ordering one tonight. :-) Thanks for the info N9KGC
hey man, great video. I do have a question, say you have your frequency a and b set on this, does the radio only listen to the frequency the arrow is pointing to? or is there a way to listen to both, and talk to each individually?
Nice review! I just ordered mine👍
AWESOME review, thank you!
And I have de UV-5R to with 2 power level 5w, is a good radio.

Perhaps I just got a bad one. A co-worker had the same experience.
rlee1403 can they both get murs frequency?
He's just there to slam the other radios and hit up the distributors for more free stuff.

No. It only has a single transceiver, so it's either A or B at any given time.
If you turn on TDR it can monitor both channels, it is only a single transceiver, but can monitor both A and B
Good to know - thanks for the tip.
