Here are my thoughts on the UV-5R and some tactical tips on using it. Its the best entry to the radio world for preparedness and the like.
ALWAYS follow the FcC rUlEs.
Very informative - I own a pair and agree that they are excellent. The main for folks is to download the manual that was created by users since the stock manual is almost useless.
@@YuriKuzyk good stuff and thank you for watching!
It is kinda crazy how effective Baofeng radios are. I've owned many different models of these over the years, and they really are as good as everyone is saying. I do currently own the model he's discussing, for more than a year now, currently I just use them when the wife and I go hiking, we have been up to 3 miles apart and still received each others calls. I think I paid around $35 to $40 for both with two chargers and they came with the extended antennas.
@@daved4120 that’s awesome and hiking is a excellent way to test radios. Good stuff brother!
Subbed to your channel, laid back not forcing the newest and greatest radio
@@Jacobzzzz-t9q I really appreciate that! Yeah I’m trying to go for availability and simplicity for everyone. I have a few more radios to review but the uv5r is still always going to be recommended by me. Thank you brother!
@@preparedcitizens I appreciate you, and taking your time to put this videos out, just purchased a signal stick as well.
@@Jacobzzzz-t9q you won’t be disappointed! I will be ordering more to keep in stock as well! Awesome stuff brother!
great radio for the price. just be aware nothing you do on this radio will be private, but then again maybe thats exactly one of the parts of what makes this radio great for emergencies. this radio is where i started with radio about 4 years ago. program it for your 2m/70 ham repeaters gmrs/frs, maybe weather and toss it in a bag. the batteries will junk out after a few years though
@@jasonbrown467 excellent point about not being private! And I agree about emergencies. These are a good starter, all around radio. Good stuff brother!
Our good buddy from 2 alpha Solutions just help me set up my baofeng uv5r
@@Valorius I’m going to be going to see him later this month for some help setting up a home base station! He is a great dude!
@@preparedcitizens All the way out in Va?
@@Valorius yup. It’s nearly 10hrs ride.
@@preparedcitizens If you're passing by my neck of the woods be sure to stop by so we can make a day or two out of it man.
@@Valorius definitely will get with you and see if I can’t at least stop in for a visit!
The best thing you can do for those handy talkie's is buy a N9TAX Slim Jim antenna. it will be the best 33 dollars you will spend on those radio's
@@KO4GAR nice. I’ve not tried one of those yet. I’ll definitely look into it!
All ham radio operators think this radio is the best.
@@cefchurch511 YES THEY DO!! 😂😂😂😂
