No me funcionó muy bien.
Bieber de buena calidad los materiales, tuve que comprarle otra antena más larga, por que solo escucho pero no trasmite bien. Aún así con la antena larga que le compre sigue con el problema, tal vez solo haya sido el mío, ya que otros lo tienen y no han tenido el problema que yo. Lo uso en las prácticas de vuelo en parapente.

I purchased this because a friend of mine has a couple of them, and I wanted something more professional than a "walkie-talkie." These aren't toys... We used them this winter during a snow storm - we were out driving around in the snow looking for stranded folks (we were in different vehicles). They work well and the range is pretty impressive, though they can be easily blocked by certain topography. I have spoken straight line distances as far as 4.14 miles over hills and through trees in the Ozarks of Oklahoma. These transceivers pick up commercial frequencies such as police, fire, EMS, weather, etc. You can get yourself into some trouble if you aren't "licensed" to speak on these frequencies, so don't be an idiot and check your local laws... That being said and going against it - you are also able to communicate on GMRS frequencies (the cheap walkie-talkie radios) and there are YouTube videos to show how to do so. It has lots of programmable features that I'll never use.
The only things that I do not like about this radio is its slow scan speeds - certainly not like a police scanner. The earpiece is okay, but the Tx buttons are a little bit finicky. Totally worth the money IMO and given the need I'll definitely purchase another one of these..

Can't beat the price! I continually use this little gem for "dual banding" with my main 2-meter rig. Sounds great - radio reports tell me that the receiving stations cannot tell the difference when I am dual banding with this radio or talking directly from my main rig. I take it over to my neighbor's house when I go to visit and can still monitor my favorite repeater. I also love the dual PTT on this thing. I can talk on low power to other units in the immediate vicinity with one button, then talk through my main rig (set up for dual band repeat) to hit the repeater with the other button.

I have been using it every day since I got it. Battery life is long. Functions and features are plentiful for me, a beginning Technician class operator. It was a little tricky learning the programming, but any technician who passed their Ham exam will be able to figure this out. The audio is crisp and clear with more bass and pleasing sounding than the other BaoFeng models, which I own as well. The flashlight is big and bright and the build is sturdy and solid. Performance has been excellent so far as I can tell. I am able to hit our club repeater about 16 miles away using the bigger antenna I bought for it. With the stock antenna, I am able to pick up local simplex traffic from a couple miles out. The manual plus some internet help were the keys for me to learn the programming. This unit feels better in my hand than the other BaoFeng models. I like how it looks as well. More professional. Works great with the accessories and the bigger antenna that I got for it. So far so good. I recommend this radio!

I wasn't sure if I would stay with the hobby and this is a good entry level radio that doesn't cost you much. The only draw back is it isn't very user friendly for programing unless you use CHIRP (free software). If you stick with hobby, it serves as a good back up or loaner radio.

I waited to review this radio until I got a real chance to play around with it. For what it is, it is a quite capable dual band radio. I HIGHLY suggest the USB programming cable from BaoFeng and use CHIRP software for programming(just throw the supplied disc from BaoFeng away). I also suggest the Nagoya NA-771 antenna. It really will make a huge difference for your signal. I can easily hit repeaters that are 20 miles from my QTH. If you are looking for a cheap, capable, not going to cry if it gets broke or stolen handheld without all the bells...You cannot go wrong with it. Long battery life, comfortable, loud and clear audio. Built-in flashlight and FM radio. Also if you are looking to get a hand speaker/mic go with the "Dual PTT" BaoFeng mic. The single PTT mic will only allow you to transmit on B Band.

They unit arrived swiftly. Works well. Unfortunately the antenna was not in the box.
Fortunately I had ordered a Nagoya 701 as a replacement anyway but still it is a bit annoying that the radio had everything but the antenna in the box. if i hadn't already ordered the Nagoya I would be S.O.L until I got a replacement.
Otherwise, I am happy with the unit. The only functional glitch I have with it is that even though I programmed the channel list via software and gave channel designations, When in Channel mode it still lists them as CH-1, CH-2 etc instead of channel designations I had given them in Chirp.
My UV5R doesn't have this issue. The names show as programmed.
Between the lack of antenna and the channel designation issue I am only giving 4 stars. Had the antenna been there and the designations worked this would have easily been a 5.

I am very pleased with these, especially considering the price.
If I have any complaint, it is that these did not come with the earpiece. I mistakenly thought they came with an earpiece because of the picture, but it doesn't.
I would definitely recommend these if this is your first HAM radio purchase or even instead of walkie talkies (if that's what you're looking for) since these easily allow you to use them as walkie talkies straight out of the box without having to do anything overly complicated with the added bonus that you can use them for more advanced functions in the future if you choose to. The flashlight on this is a nice, cool bonus.
I don't have much to say in terms of if this is good for more advanced users (since I, myself, am not advanced), but I can wholeheartedly recommend to other beginners like myself.

I loved this radio. I’ve had 4 the first one stopped working after a while and the second one broke after a year and a half of abuse the last 2 stopped working 1 after being dropped from 4 feet onto hardwood and the last one from being dropped from 2 feet in to carpet. Overall don’t buy this radio. Buy a radio in the 5-R series I’ve had great luck with them. Not these. Don’t buy them.

Very nice almost do it all handheld dual band uhf vhf radio. Very good speaker volume and voice clarity. It has a great deal of features. The frequency range it's great. From 400 to 520 mhz in UHF. And it also handles VHF frequency. The main feature for me, dual watch in U+U,, V+V or U+V. Good reception in my experience. Very easy to program on the menus of the handheld. You can set almost every features directly in the radio. Very easy to program from a computer with the USB cable. (By the way, you should buy this USB programming cable. It's a must!). I like the size of this radio. Not too small not too big. The battery duration it's good. It never hurts to buy a spare battery, though, since it's better to be prepared for an occasionally long day of use that could drain your battery. I like the way this radio it's built. It feels strong and durable in your hand. Maybe I don't like so much the double-plug connector for the speaker / hands free / usb programming, since it feels it could get worn out with time and use. The charger could use a little bit of redesigned, since it feels cheap.
Overall, it's a good radio for a lot of uses. Specially to monitor 2 frequencies at the same time. Recommended 100%.

This is my first two way radio. I love it. The reception is good, the transmission appears to be good and I was able to program it easily using chirp.
I am a novice so I have not done much transmitting and reception from other radio operators.
The quality of the unit is great I will be ordering a second one.

I lived it at first. Then after only owning for a few months and using it a total of 4 times, it has now broken. It will not work with any PTT headsets, including the one it came with. I would return/exchange it but it is already past Amazon's return policy window.

These are one of the best bargains out there in hand-held Ham Radios. The dual Push to Talk feature is especially nice--you can have 2 different frequencies showing and easily switch between one or the other. Easy to program using free Chirp Software--don't use the factory software.

Radio did meet my expectations I have a yaesu ft60r that seams to be better built and better quality but the features like the fm radio and the built in flashlight and the ability to listen to the local fire department that used to work for and also the ability to talk to the grms & frs radios make this a very handy radio do to me hiking and back packing a lot The down side to this radio is it is very hard to program Manuel u have to use the Chirp soft ware and u can't not scan other freq that are not already programmed in the preset like my yaesu ft60 but over all it is a decent radio

Very nice radio. Almost impossible to program from the instructions in the manual but searched online and found some great step by step instructions. Still more complicated than it needs to be, but once you have the hang of it it's OK. As far as I can tell you can't program alphanumeric names for the channels from the keyboard, might be able to using the computer interface, I don't know.

The BaoFeng radios can offer a lot of bang for the buck, but they do have both good and bad points, and one of the absolute WORST things about BaoFeng radios is that they are NOT FIRMWARE UPGRADEABLE.
BaoFeng expects to just 'sell-through' into the market all their crappy early firmware radios, and if some unhappy buyers return them, they apparently just get recycled, and recycled, and recycled to other dealers until they are finally sold off.
To avoid having to deal with this, I decided that I would buy directly from Amazon, on the theory that they would be enforcing some kind of standards and moving only fresh newer stock. At the time of my purchase, the only UV-82 series model I could find that was sold directly by Amazon was this UV-82L.
I wanted to try one of each, so I ordered both an Amazon sourced UV5R and UV-82L.
Just as I had hoped, the UV5R arrived with very current firmware, and seems to be working PERFECTLY.
The UV-82L arrived with BUGGY FIRMWARE, and based on the packaging, seems to be RETURNED AND REPACKAGED MERCHANDISE.
I had really hoped to avoid this issue by dealing with Amazon as a seller directly, but in the case of my UV-82, it just didn't work out that way, because my UV-82L arrived showing obvious signs of re-packaging, and with a really annoying bug that keeps the FM broadcast band receive function from working correctly.
This is a bigger deal for me than it might be for some others, because I like to listen to the news every morning while out and about, and was looking forward to using the UV-82L for this purpose because it has a slightly better speaker than the UV5R.
When you first enter an FM broadcast frequency, the station comes up loud and clear and sounds GREAT, giving a tantalizing glimpse of how well it could be, should be, would be, working minus the bugs -- but if you toggle out of FM mode even for an instant - then toggle back by tapping the "F" button again - although the UV-82L does remember your previously entered FM frequency setting - there is NO AUDIO. To get the FM band audio back, you have to re-enter the FM broadcast band frequency AGAIN.
This bug, also kills your FM audio whenever the radio switches to an active channel's audio for a moment and and then switches back. This means that, even if you leave the radio's main VFO on a little used channel, any kind of short noise burst can cut-in momentarily and completely kill your FM audio AGAIN, and once AGAIN, to get it back you have to re-enter the FM frequency all over again.
This is NOT how my other BaoFeng radios work, and NOT how this radio is supposed to work.
It's bad enough that you have to manually enter FM frequencies, or scan for them, and can't store them in memories like comm channels, but having to re-enter the frequency you have already entered over and over again is sheer torture.
Because of their decision to use non re-programmable (OTP) parts in these Baofeng radios, if you get crappy firmware, you either have to just return the radio, or live with it FOREVER, because the firmware can NEVER be user upgraded - so I guess this radio is going back.
In the mean time, you might want to check to see if your UV-82L also has firmware B82S27 - and if it does, check to see if using your FM broadcast band "F" receive key also drops audio every time it is toggled.
You can easily check the firmware on UV-82 series radios by continuing to hold down the "5" key on the numeric keypad while you turn on the power and reading it off the LCD while the radio boots up. The firmware number only displays for a fraction of a second, so you may have to power down and repeat the process a few times to read it accurately.
I would be interested in knowing what firmware versions others are seeing on their UV82L radios from Amazon, and whether they are also seeing the FM receive audio dropout bug I described above???
As several other reviewers have noted, they also appear to be lying about the battery capacity, as the radio does no better than others with batteries with half the specified "3000mAh" capacity they are claiming. I wonder if perhaps they are playing the B.S. game that Chinese companies do when rating their stupid little cell phone "battery bank" mobile chargers - that's where they ADD UP all the individual cell battery capacities, for cells that are actually IN SERIES. So, for example, if the battery pack has TWO 1500 mAH LiPo batteries in SERIES they think you get to claim 2X their individual capacity or 3000 mAh. - WRONG!!! - NO ONE ELSE RATES HANDY TALKY BATTERIES THAT WAY.
So my experience in buying both UV5R and UV-82L radios directly from Amazon was a mixed bag. I felt that the UV5R was a winner - sure it has all the normal crappy BaoFeng firmware annoyances, but at least the firmware is up to date and everything basically works - but the UV-82L was MUCH WORSE - with major features like the FM broadcast band receive function just not working right at all.

I purchased this radio in October 2014. It worked fine until the display text disappeared about a week ago. The light still comes on but I can no longer see the frequencies, menu, and battery indicator. Otherwise the radio still works. I use CHIRP to program it so I still know which memory number holds which frequency as the radio announces the number as I advance through but it is an extra step. At first I thought perhaps I had accidentally selected something on the menu to make the text disappear but I can't find in the instructions where that's an option. I believe this is a fluke as I searched and could not find anyone else with the same problem.

He bought these when he and the kids got their Technician class operating licenses. The price point is unbeatable, and the performance is very good considering the price point. As he became acquainted with other operators in the Amateur community he discovered a lot of old time operators bought these just to see what all the talk was about. Highly recommend along with Ham in a Day!

I believe the AC plugs for the chargers are defective. I ordered another radio and had the same issue with the charger so I plugged it in to an adapter I knew worked and the base charger worked fine so I know it is the actual AC wall adapter that is bad and not the charge base.

If you liked the UV5R, this one will make you like them more. The programming is a little tricky manually, but using the software makes it a dream. And not having to change the bands prior to transmitting on the other frequency is a much nicer added feature in this model.

I love this radio. I used a UV-5r (which I also love) for about a year and bought this one because it's more comfortable to hold. I use it for simplex operation only, usually with DCS. The DCS is compatible with the more expensive brands. I can't comment on operating it using repeaters.
I find these radios to be very intuitive to program. Reception with an aftermarket 12" antenna is fantastic. I replaced the stock antennae before I ever turned it on because of my experience with the terrible UV-5r stock antennae, so I can't give a fair assessment of the antennae.
I give it 5 stars because it's the best $45 you can spend on a radio. There are some quirks and drawbacks (the squelch, namely), but I could buy 3 of these and take my gilfriend to dinner for the cost of a vx 270. It's 5 stars for what it is.
