It may be a better way for you to go if you are not comfortable messing with your WIN 10 machine drivers etc

I really like this two way

It's about the least expensive way for a new ham to get on the air.

WAY confusing to learn to set-up.

Works great and economical way to start learning about radios

Best two way radio I could find for the money, instructions are complex but nothing a trip to YT can't help.

Best way to start in ham radio unless you are rich.

if you lose one, it's not going to hurt the way losing a Kenwood or Yaesu hand

Great two way

YouTube is a great way to learn how this radio works

so this is great way to start

Nice 2-way radios, gonna try them out this 4th of July see how the range is on the with the 15.6 “ whip by Nagoya Na-771

If you do get this radio, the best way to program it is to use the free software CHIRP and an inexpensive programming cable.

Don't knock it, a lot of people bought these as Preppers and it simply led the way for them to be introduced into ham radio and get their ticket

two way radio Works awesome thank you!

Standard Chinese radio, but it gets the job done and is a great way to get started in HAM radio at a decent price

Overall, this is by far one of the best two way radios I have ever purchased...

Just got my ham license so inexpensive way to get on the air.

It’s a great way to listen and be prepared

The 2 way only worked a few weeks

No way it has served me well if tomorrow it breaks i won't feel bad it owes me nothing for what i payed

The two-way radio was great

The ability to program everything into them works out perfectly (assuming you know the right way), and the accessory pool is perfect

And the Chirp programing software looks like a great way to manage memory and programming

But it works the same way and programs the same way (it does work with chirp) as any other UV-5R-type radio

Fascinated that an inexpensive 2 Way can do what this does.

We were both in our own rigs on the trails and needed a good way to communicate along the trail

Great 2 way radios plus fm station

Decided to buy one of these as a cheap way to get into actually using my license on a regular basis.

PS believe it or not I just corrected a review that wasn't so positive towards this product and it was taken care of in such a nice way that I change the

The BaoFeng UV-5R is by far one of the cheapest ways get get started in amateur radio

so she still has a broken 2 way that she needs at work.

I am now a General class licensee, and in my opinion, this inexpensive radio is a great way to get started.

Great two way radio

For an inexpensive two way radio it has great range

For the price, it's a nice cheap way to get your feet wet learning about the 2m and 70cm bands, how to use pl tones, and listen in on local repeaters.

Way cooler than it looks or seems

While they cannot access all the amateur radio bands, they are a great way to get into HAM radio without investing a lot of money at the start

Seldom does China put out a decent product, but this little two way radio is incredibly durable and reliable

They make inexpensive 2-way radios that are perfect for getting intoham radio, leading to FCC licensing

Maybe if you did just five a day, you have all you want after a week or two, but otherwise, I'd break down and buy the programming cable so you can do it the easy way

Great small 2 way radio, check license requirements!

For the price, it's a nice cheap way to get your feet wet learning about the 2m and 70cm bands, how to use pl tones, and listen in on local repeaters.

Whether you're interested in getting your HAM radio license or enjoy scanning police/railroad/business radio frequencies the Baofeng UV-5R is a great way to start

It's odd spending nearly as much as you did on the radio as you do the accessories, but that also shows what a good value the radio really is (because the accessories sure don't feel inflated).As for the best way of programming these

This is a great Two Way Radio for the price

This one of the best 2-way radio's,for the money

light weight,small and excellent range.we use it professionally as well as for enjoyment.licences are required for these radios

The 70 CM band works as it should.

I bumped it up another star as they had good communication with me and said they will send out a replacement charger

Not as easy as on the old Japanese radio
