As a radio amateur, I realized that at least in the portable/mobile transceiver segment, the "Westerners" were really "interfering" as intermediate importers through the branded manufacturers. The bad thing is that being so cheap, they also end up in the hands of those who "destroy" the bands... A strange thing... putting the portable open on the desktop charging base and pressing the PTT causes the computer to restart... I won't try it again anymore.. ):

The first one that I received had a problem with its speaker, so I sent it back and the second one that came has an issue with the range and the microphone. I'm waiting to see if the third one is okay.

    I have bought three, I use them for agricultural work, for the money it’s a very honest machine. I have done many tests in open fields up to 15 kilometers, I have communicated on UHF. The menu is quite easy, don’t expect anything crazy. It says it outputs 5.8 watts, and from what I have seen in videos on YouTube, it actually outputs 3.8, and something very important, don’t waste money on antennas, you won’t find one better than the factory one. I have bought many, even a car mount with an antenna, and again its factory one performs better than all.

    Good transceiver, disadvantage is that it doesn't work with other antennas. You can't connect an external antenna, it blocks the receiver. I put a telescopic antenna but still didn't get results compared to its own rubber one. It is a portable transceiver as such. The modulation is a bit low.. But you can fix it if you know how and it gains about 10% improvement.

    Perhaps the most value for money amateur radio. Its use by unlicensed individuals is widespread due to its low price, but this does not mean it is legal. So, be careful, you may find yourself in trouble. I mainly use it in the mountains for safety and have had the chance to talk from Kaimaktsalan to Thessaloniki. It reaches about 3 km within the city. The battery lasts quite a long time and its use is simple.

    I am involved in AIRSOFT, which for those who are not familiar is a realism hobby with replica (fake) guns that shoot BBs. The use of a radio is necessary in many cases!! This particular radio is the best in terms of price, quality, and range of use! It has the option of many frequencies manually selected by the user, thus allowing for different channels. It is not like the classic ones with a standard fixed frequency/channel. You have the option to change the frequency manually, which is useful for talking with radios from different companies.

    ** Also, the majority of people involved in similar types of hobbies that require communication use this specific Baofeng radio.

    One of the best purchases I have made and the best value for money for such a device. It is also worth mentioning that I had to replace the device due to a faulty construction and Skroutz was incredibly helpful in the replacement process. The return and shipment of the new device happened so quickly that I simply couldn't believe it.

    I would say it is perfect and it works on its own with good and expensive brands without any competition. If it had one detail for me, it would be the ability to save frequencies not only as frequencies and channels it has, but also as names, something that requires the company's cable and passing it through a computer. However, regardless, it is worth every euro and more.

    If I could give it 6 stars, I would. The tool has a range of 12 km in open areas without obstacles, from mountain tops to the city. The communication is generally crystal clear. In short, those who have it know, and I recommend it to those who want it.

    VFM. Its range is satisfactory (at least within a radius of 1 kilometer that I use it, it catches perfectly). The battery lasts for several days and it is easy to use. Only once did it fall from my hands and a small tooth that it has inside to attach the battery broke, but I replaced it

    It is very good, small, and user-friendly. For its price, its quality is quite good. It has several settings and is satisfactory for amateur use, always with the necessary Radio Amateur license. It is very important that it includes headphones in the package. Its transmission is not for long distances, but in an open field, it comfortably covers a kilometer. The receiver is satisfactory, greatly improved with a larger and higher quality antenna.

    This particular transmitter is for those who are starting to get involved in wireless communications. The low price makes it ideal for most people who want something like this.
    WARNING - WARNING. This specific transmitter REQUIRES A RADIO AMATEUR LICENSE or a SPECIAL RADIO NETWORK LICENSE, otherwise its use without the required license will result in a fine and immediate penalty. IT IS NOT CB or PMR, which do not require a license.

    Very good value for money, I compared it to a Yaesu and it has slightly reduced range as expected. However, I want to order a larger antenna (very cheap) to see the differences. At 29.50 that I bought it with shipping, it's a steal, worth it a thousand times

    It has very easy programming and its build quality is really very good in relation to its price.

    It is durable with satisfactory range, unless you enter a ravine or a cut-off area where you lose communication.
    In an open field, it easily reaches a straight distance of 500m.
    For intercommunication, it is definitely worth its money

    I speak normally at 2 kilometers and I can say that it is good, although I have changed the antenna and put a larger one that can catch more and therefore it catches from a longer distance. It is easy to use and convenient. I had another one before, but it fell and broke. I was satisfied with the previous one, so I got the same one again. I had it for about 4 years and it didn't have any issues. If it hadn't fallen, I might still have it

As a radio amateur, I realized that at least in the portable/mobile transceiver segment, the "Westerners" were really "interfering" as intermediate importers through the branded manufacturers. The bad thing is that being so cheap, they also end up in the hands of those who "destroy" the bands... A strange thing... putting the portable open on the desktop charging base and pressing the PTT causes the computer to restart... I won't try it again anymore.. ):

The first one that I received had a problem with its speaker, so I sent it back and the second one that came has an issue with the range and the microphone. I'm waiting to see if the third one is okay.

    Lightweight and quality product, the battery runs out in 3 days with extensive use. It is recommended to purchase an additional battery

    I have bought three, I use them for agricultural work, for the money it’s a very honest machine. I have done many tests in open fields up to 15 kilometers, I have communicated on UHF. The menu is quite easy, don’t expect anything crazy. It says it outputs 5.8 watts, and from what I have seen in videos on YouTube, it actually outputs 3.8, and something very important, don’t waste money on antennas, you won’t find one better than the factory one. I have bought many, even a car mount with an antenna, and again its factory one performs better than all.

    Good transceiver, disadvantage is that it doesn't work with other antennas. You can't connect an external antenna, it blocks the receiver. I put a telescopic antenna but still didn't get results compared to its own rubber one. It is a portable transceiver as such. The modulation is a bit low.. But you can fix it if you know how and it gains about 10% improvement.

    Perhaps the most value for money amateur radio. Its use by unlicensed individuals is widespread due to its low price, but this does not mean it is legal. So, be careful, you may find yourself in trouble. I mainly use it in the mountains for safety and have had the chance to talk from Kaimaktsalan to Thessaloniki. It reaches about 3 km within the city. The battery lasts quite a long time and its use is simple.

    I am involved in AIRSOFT, which for those who are not familiar is a realism hobby with replica (fake) guns that shoot BBs. The use of a radio is necessary in many cases!! This particular radio is the best in terms of price, quality, and range of use! It has the option of many frequencies manually selected by the user, thus allowing for different channels. It is not like the classic ones with a standard fixed frequency/channel. You have the option to change the frequency manually, which is useful for talking with radios from different companies.

    ** Also, the majority of people involved in similar types of hobbies that require communication use this specific Baofeng radio.

    One of the best purchases I have made and the best value for money for such a device. It is also worth mentioning that I had to replace the device due to a faulty construction and Skroutz was incredibly helpful in the replacement process. The return and shipment of the new device happened so quickly that I simply couldn't believe it.

    I would say it is perfect and it works on its own with good and expensive brands without any competition. If it had one detail for me, it would be the ability to save frequencies not only as frequencies and channels it has, but also as names, something that requires the company's cable and passing it through a computer. However, regardless, it is worth every euro and more.

    To become completely wireless, it also requires a good antenna (I recommend an antenna with a range of 10 to 20 kilometers)

    If I could give it 6 stars, I would. The tool has a range of 12 km in open areas without obstacles, from mountain tops to the city. The communication is generally crystal clear. In short, those who have it know, and I recommend it to those who want it.

    VFM. Its range is satisfactory (at least within a radius of 1 kilometer that I use it, it catches perfectly). The battery lasts for several days and it is easy to use. Only once did it fall from my hands and a small tooth that it has inside to attach the battery broke, but I replaced it

    It is very good, small, and user-friendly. For its price, its quality is quite good. It has several settings and is satisfactory for amateur use, always with the necessary Radio Amateur license. It is very important that it includes headphones in the package. Its transmission is not for long distances, but in an open field, it comfortably covers a kilometer. The receiver is satisfactory, greatly improved with a larger and higher quality antenna.

    This particular transmitter is for those who are starting to get involved in wireless communications. The low price makes it ideal for most people who want something like this.
    WARNING - WARNING. This specific transmitter REQUIRES A RADIO AMATEUR LICENSE or a SPECIAL RADIO NETWORK LICENSE, otherwise its use without the required license will result in a fine and immediate penalty. IT IS NOT CB or PMR, which do not require a license.

    Very good value for money, I compared it to a Yaesu and it has slightly reduced range as expected. However, I want to order a larger antenna (very cheap) to see the differences. At 29.50 that I bought it with shipping, it's a steal, worth it a thousand times

    In this price category, there really is no other.
    It is obvious that it cannot be easily compared to more expensive ones.
    It has very easy programming and its build quality is really very good in relation to its price.
    Good battery and durable for everyday use.
    Ideal for short distances and simple tasks.

    We have bought it for hunting.
    It is durable with satisfactory range, unless you enter a ravine or a cut-off area where you lose communication.
    In an open field, it easily reaches a straight distance of 500m.
    For intercommunication, it is definitely worth its money

    It is one of the most affordable Baofeng radios in terms of price and size.
    Good design, wide frequency range in UHF/VHF.
    Sensitive receiver, not as powerful in transmission and close to 4.8W RF output.

    I speak normally at 2 kilometers and I can say that it is good, although I have changed the antenna and put a larger one that can catch more and therefore it catches from a longer distance. It is easy to use and convenient. I had another one before, but it fell and broke. I was satisfied with the previous one, so I got the same one again. I had it for about 4 years and it didn't have any issues. If it hadn't fallen, I might still have it
