These radios suck. Tried to program some frequencies to memory, very difficult. Of you domt move quickly the menu closes and you loose your chance. My Yaesu FT-65R was easy to progam. Typical Chinese junk. Luckily I got this radio for free. DO NOT BUY ONE.Get Japanese

i can’t find any value in Baofeng. I bought 2x Baofeng UV-82 and i instantly regret that decision. 1 station operates on 446.025 MHz on TX but display frequency is 436.500Mhz and 145.250 – cant even TX on 2m (the second TX button does not work at all) 2nd station does not even transmit (tested on wideband scanner coz radio communication was not possible to establish with my HAM friends); both of them are plain deaf on RX.
Chinese cheap crap -not factory set set-up properly for fail safe start use of or they are faulty in operations. These stations must be “persuaded” into proper operation before use – not for beginner at all in fact not for anyone at all except for some who intentionally want to run into problems. (there is a reason why good stuff is expensive, that would not happen with other brands like Yayesu, Icom, Kennwod etc … just to name some) !

It’s $20 and that doesn’t make anybody any less uninformed. It’s nobody’s fault that today’s technology can grind out a near-universal UV5R for 20 bucks.

In reply to Rev. Schoemann. Your assumptions are based on tech that you know about. Preparing for the worst is not paranoia. If there are better options, why take the chance...
