Re: Basic Unit Selection
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý
Baofeng are good budget radios, but their claims are ridiculous. This one also is so wrong on many fronts.
-The radio claims on the front it is "digital mobile radio" when it is FM and says so below it. A big contradiction.
-Also claims to be a "dual band FM transciever" when it is tri-band.
-Ridiculous TX power claims, not one of these radios ever gets over 6 watts.
Read thru the BS and the Chinglish and watch a few reviews on youtube and you will find out what they really are.

Thanks to Darrell AB2E, I've ordered a ...
... as of yesterday. ~$56 (+ CA tax.) Full Kit. Most say 4-5w. Some, 8. This, 18w. Utubes dispute that for similar units claiming 18... back of the device even has it molded into the shell, 18W. Their (utube) tests show 4+ on a UV9+(?) claiming 18. No HUGE matter. Curious though. One utube had seen one on "WISH" that claimed 60w, (lol) but I wouldn't trust Wish for that detail. Still, claiming 18w !?! Strange. Reminds me of the 70s & 80s where the music industry went through machinisms to redefine, "music watts." Water resistant, IP67. Plus to me! Reasonable price for s full kit. Have 30 days to consider a $6 2yr protection. Delivery 19 days max. Seller has a good rep. Site dutifully dropped from 4 available, to 3 in minutes. Working on Tech studies. BillSF9c |
