68
This video provides a review and range test of the Baofeng UV-5R, a low-cost handheld FM transceiver. The reviewer examines its construction, performance, and features such as frequency offsets, DTMF tones, and dual watch. While the radio is praised for its solid build and long battery life, the stock antenna is identified as an area for improvement. The usable range is estimated to be a couple of miles with the stock antenna. The reviewer notes the radio's limitations, such as the lack of waterproofing, but ultimately deems it a good offering for its price point.
