    BaoFeng UV-82HP (CAMO) High Power Dual Band Radio: 136-174mhz (VHF) 400-520mhz (UHF) Amateur (Ham) Portable Two-Way

    • Most recently, I've been using the UV-82 series and really enjoy the higher quality build of the radios
    • They are well built and have a very well written manual
    • This is a very well build
    • This seems much better built.
    • I am quiet impressed with the UV-82HP, its a solid build and performs great and even with the stock antenna it gets out well here in the mountains
    • Solid build.
    • This is a very well built and durable radio
    • I like that it is light, compact and is of solid commercial build quality
    • (The added power probably isn't hurting on that front.)Being made in China, I wouldn't be shocked if I end up with some kind of odd neck and ear cancer from it, but the cable of the included earpiece is remarkably stout and feels very well built.
    • The radio itself is well built and works well for what it is
    • Overall, a well built, tough radio that comes with a charger, earpiece, belt clip, battery and antenna
    • When it comes to software upgrades to CHIRP for this radio (you have to download the daily build to be able to program this radio - but that's considered ok as the daily build is very stable.
    • They seem really well built and should you be curious as to sound quality, reception, etc., just tune into YouTube for a plethora of real world and scientific tests
    • I already preferred the "commercial" build of the UV-82 line, and now I have all the goodies of the UV-82 along with a couple of extra watts of power for better communication (HP).For a new ham on a budget
    • Solid build, clear transmission, plenty loud.
    • They are well built and they can be customized to almost any need
    • Solid build, clear transmission, plenty loud.
    • Was a little dificult to program but after figuring out how it works I like it.
