It can be hooked up to a external antenna for even greater range.

Great looking, user-friendly, great range, inexpensive, versatile

Range is good for a handheld, and the quality on this thing blows away $40 FRS/GMRS radios (which of course are in UHF band on this thing, letting me use it with non-licensed friends for local tom foolery).I really like this

Good range.

With a good antenna, range is excellent

Not the best range for point to

Cheap price for a ham radio, if considering purchasing I would highly recommend as it has good range, and great battery life

Great radio capability for the price is amazing range is great recommend to anybody, great to have around for emergencies

come in very handy and that fun good range might even buy more

If I was to improve anything, it would be a better antenna which would improve the range of this fine little radio even further

Solidly built, excellent range, compact, inexpensive, lots of accessories available

Programmable radio, great range, excellent value

The partner radio to this has enough range for most purposes

A mic and dual band external is recommended for greater range

Has decent range to be as small as it is, I would recommend a higher quality antenna!

It works well, has decent range (haven't done a full range test, but it's crystal clear at nearly a half mile) and carries a lot of functionality of a more expensive radio.

The range however is great, just be sure you use frequencies that are not already claimed by the FCC since you can get a massive fine.

It feels good in hand, not too heavy, but not too light, and the range is decent for the stock rubber duckie antenna

Impressive range even with the stock antenna

They get a mile or so radio to radio even with many buildings blocking our line of sight, but with our repeater they get fantastic range

In the woods they have superb range by themselves we are talking easily 2-3 miles, maybe even more

sold it promply crappy range, it was hard to program and the antenna was stripped out i emailed back and never got a reply

Amazing sound and range

Range is good for a handheld, and the quality on this thing blows away $40 FRS/GMRS radios (which of course are in UHF band on this thing, letting me use it with non-licensed friends for local tom foolery).I really like this

Good long range distance

Great radio capability for the price is amazing range is great recommend to anybody, great to have around for emergencies

Impressive range though.

Pretty good range in an urban setting

Range is crap, battery is really bad

Range is not good, not what you will expect/hope

Has a great freq range

About 3 mile perfect range.

It has great range even in rough terrain and mountains.

Good signal reports from other hams and the range is decent with the factory rubber duck antenna

Im in the process of obtaining my HAM license and purchasing some of the many extra's available to boost its range, power, etc

Good quality, decent range if you purchase a longer antenna, compact design helps to reduce weight and space when packing gear for a storm chase or event!

These work awesome in the mountains... great range

Great battery life and range.

Tons if features, and great range in the woods

Put a high gain antenna on it for better range.

The Motorola's run $500 or more compared to $50 if they get damaged, plus they have a better range.

But they work as they are only 25 bucks.....

I ended up selling the Baofeng as fast as I could

All functions work as they should

does not work as it should.

light weight,small and excellent range.we use it professionally as well as for enjoyment.licences are required tho in the radios literature it was not stated

Not as good as the higher dollar Dual band HT I have but it works as it should.

Manually, as well as via PC

The belt clip broke as I was installing it
