- nimbius 3y ago"for over a decade, Baofeng has been the name in Chinese handhelds." well, its certainly A name...as an amateur extra and a VEC, i tried...i really tried to love these radios. - my first baofeng couldnt hit the repeater across the street from me. - my second baofeng arrived with a flashlight i couldnt turn off, and died an hour later. - my final baofeng (a gift) died during a contest and couldnt even hit a reference repeater. thankfully i was only really using it for a flashlight in a camping tent. ...but i cant. these things are hot garbage for preppers and gun nuts.
- sitzkrieg 3y agoive an bf-f8hp that outperforms kenwood ht everytime i compare, with stock antenna and all. shrug

- NovemberWhiskey 3y agoFWIW the Baofeng radio I tested, a BF-F8HP circa 2017, was (barely) compliant with Part 97 spurious emission requirements.
- chriscjcj 3y agoYour assertions are applicable to early UV-5R models. However, some have demonstrated that more modern iterations have made substantial improvements. https://forums.radioreference.com/threads/baofeng-spectral-purity-imd-testing.461065/ https://forums.radioreference.com/threads/baofeng-spectral-p...
