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

    • It feels right in the hand, and is an excellent back up or unit to use on a daily basis.
    • The unit programs nice and easy with CHIRP using the almost mandatory programming cable
    • Loved the unit, plus the extra power made a difference
    • Great unit for the cost.
    • Nice unit
    • If you are not a HAM and have worked with similar units and your like me you are probably going need to spend a cozy evening reading the operations manual to tutor yourself on all the stuff this unit is capable of.
    • Ordered two Camo version from Amazon, who shipped Black, contacted BaoFeng Tech directly and submitted via RMA and expeditiously supported exchange for correct units
    • with your ham license this is a nice handheld ham unit.
    • As well, after carry around outdoors in rain, unit became wet and now has a problem communicating/charging properly within it's included charging cradle.
    • Otherwise a great unit with well laid out menu and controls, good reception and transmission and good options (dual switch/DTMF tones etc).
    • The unit will only power on and work if I very carefully position the knob in 'just the right spot' and don't dare move it.
    • This unit is a little hard to field program but with the right book you can do it.
    • Nice little unit
    • 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
    • Nice unit!!
    • ** 4/22/16 - Today I received the replacement radio I ordered after returning the defective unit and receiving a refund
    • Unit will die without warning
    • Highly recommend this unit.
    • It's a cheap unit and little disappointed that I didn't wait a little longer after the price dropped...
    • Decided to avoid that headache and just get my own to avoid getting a faulty unit or being blamed for someone else's carelessness
    • Great unit for price
    • This is a hands-down amazing unit for the price.
    • I was able to purchase this handy 8W unit for $50 while on a deal
    • They did arrive quickly and appear to be a solid unit
    • Overall, a great unit.
    • Was a little dificult to program but after figuring out how it works I like it.
