Hello Donald, I was hoping that someone in the group might own both radios and so could give the best appraisal. There is nothing like practical experience. Regards, Doug VK2XLJ

It looked to me that the history explained the variants. It appears that paragraph 2 and 3 explain the + is just a cosmetic variant as far as what it does but the battery may not be interchangeable

Yes, sorry about that. ---------------------------------------------------- Some ham radio groups you may be interested in: /g/ICOM /g/Ham-Antennas

BaofengTech is an American dealer, not the manufacturer. It still didn't answer my question. I wasn't after a general history, I was after a comparison between two specific models. Regards, Doug

Hello Group, Can anyone tell me what the difference is between UV-5R vs UV-5R+, apart from minor cosmetic changes to the case. Regards, Doug VK2XLJ

Hello ??????, Try using the factory programmer. Links below are from the Baofeng factory site. https://baofeng.s3.amazonaws.com/BAOFENG_UV-9G_Programming_Software_V2.5_20210916.rar

That had to be 6-8 min / hr, not per 24-30 hrs battery longevity. BillSF9c

Hi Donald, Thanks for the info... I have the 8 watt version and as you say, things are quite confusing. The label under the battery says dual band transceiver, but it also shows three frequency

It programs fine and works as it should on 2M & 440, but even though the offset is showing in CHIRP, and the display shows the +-, the radio doesn't shift transmit to the offset on 220. ? Has anyone

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

Hello Lee Would you please suggest 1 or 2 references/web-links for modifying the BaoFeng UV-5R to be used as a fox hunt transmitter? Thank you.

There’s also a really nice device by TIDRADIO: the BL-1 Bluetooth programmer! They are available through Amazon for $19.99. I don’t recommend using it to program you entire radio as it can be very
