Well I think it is an awesome product with several features not found on other handhelds. Add to that it only costs a few pounds to buy. True it has a couple of minor idiosyncrasys and it is much easier to program through the optional PC interface. But if you lost it or dropped it in a river while hiking it is no great loss compared to handies of other manufacturers which cost hundreds of pounds. All in all a must have for any radio enthusiast.

This isn't my first UV-5R and probably not my last because I think they're a great piece of kit for the money seeing as makers such as YAESU are so unaffordable for a lot of people. They're stylish, very robust and very easy to use wether you use a programming cable or direct entry with the keypad. There are a multitude of useful settings including the ability to change the backlight colour for RX, TX and standby which adds a touch of class to the dual frequency readout. The RX, TX audio is very good as well as a nice clean sound from the FM radio function which is a nice touch. I particularly like the latest base charging unit due to it being a USB connector which gives you more options when it comes to where you are and what you can charge it with. Lastly the battery performance is very good with the standard one that comes with it but if you need that bit more endurance it isn't too expensive to buy a larger battery upgrade. I definitely highly recommend these cracking little radio's for both price and quality.Read full review
