    • Love that!Battery life is good so far
    • Two slight dings, neither worth a star: shorter battery life than the UV-5R, and a weird way to switch between Channel and Frequency mode (off then on again, while holding down the Menu button).Overall this unit is great, and for the price of a certain handheld that starts with a "Y", you could buy three of these PLUS Nagoya antenna upgrades (recommended) and extra battery packs
    • Battery life has been amazing also.
    • Battery life is good
    • how hard I try!Battery life seems good...definitely better than my Yaesu!So, if the performance on 2m and 70cm are equivalent, and given that the BaoFeng comes with stuff you don't get with your Yaesu, at 1/4 the price, you may be asking why anyone wouldn't choose the BaoFeng?

    • Physically tough, dropped in on asphalt three or for times now, great battery life clear speakers and good transmit power for my use (haven't metered it or anything).
    • So far it works as if should.
    • Have used them on Ham bands as well as to monitor fire and police and they work great
    • This is a terrible cheaply made product with poor QA.
    • Only a wall adapter, battery free with 12V car plug and a strange AAA battery case exists.
    • worked as it was supposed to
    • Was a little dificult to program but after figuring out how it works I like it.
