The radio is a Baofeng UV-B5 (Same but with channel-dial and without LED)
ReplyDeleteCompared with any of my previously owned HT its sound quality on both transmit and receive is as good or better (This includes Alinco, Yaesu, Icom and other china radios).
With a battery time of more than 5 days, packed with all nessasary features, nice casing this is my absolute favorite HT.
I do my radio programming with a standard Kenwood-like-HT-Cable and the free program CHIRP - This is better than any Yaesu program I have stumbled upon.
I do not expect this radio to last for 10 years, but the cost/quality is still good.
Drawbacks:
Display is only 6 digit, 14 segment (not dotmatrix)
The screws for the belt clip is too short.
Manual left things to be desired.
I actually have the UV-B5. I also did the backlight mod, which works great. I use this radio for pretty much all my vhf/uhf work (casual QSO's, nets, etc.) and it has performed flawlessly. I bought some SMA/BNC adapters and have a variety of antennae, including a J-pole, a 5/8 wavelength groundplane, a mag-mount dual-band mobile, and a couple of on-radio types. The stock antenna works pretty good, although I use a 7.5" aftermarket whip for the most part. I have bought an earpiece with an inline mic, and a speaker mic, both of which work well. I gave it a 5/5 rating because it works well, was inexpensive, has so far been completely reliable, has good battery life, is rugged (don't ask how many times I've dropped it!) and has good audio. I would like to have an extended-life battery, and a combo battery/12V charger setup, and perhaps we will see that happen in the future.
