I have had this for about 2 weeks now and I have been able to hit repeaters miles away. The price point was good. The sound quality it's really good and I'd say, for a newbie to all this, it's been really easy to figure out how to set it up. The software makes it super easy. This is the newer version with a different looking antenna. It's been a great HT for me so far. I have already dropped it a few times and it's still working perfectly. I got 2 for my up coming road trip and they really do sound great, very clear.

I bought four of these radios and I've been using them for a few weeks. Great battery life and good range for the radio size. On a 5 watt GMRS channel, I was able to reach over a mile in the city from one handheld to the other. One outside and one inside a car with tons of buildings and trees between us. When operating on 1/2 watt channels along side FRS radios, these GMRS radios outperform the FRS in clarity, signal strength, and transmission distance. Likely due to the longer antenna. FRS radios have that tiny antenna working against them.Out of the box there were some quality issues with the accessory headsets. Two of the four had non-functional PTT buttons. I contacted the Baofeng and they immediately sent me replacements.

The radio is great. Plenty of reviews on YouTube. I want to review the Baofeng, Radiodity. They were excellent. I had a challenge with the radio, even after the return period, and Radiodity's customer service worked with me to resolve the issue. Highly recommend.

We usually use radios on the football field and I’ve had no problems whatsoever with them. Use them in rain, snow, and hot weather. We will definitely buy these again!

Very easy to use, with some help from youtube.. But after you get hang of it within an hour, its not hard.. Battery life is great, charging station is excellent.. I love it

Absolutely love these radios. I had the GT-5TP before and the battery eventually wore out and come to find there are no replacement batteries for that one (seems to be the only one tho) so bought the GT-3TP next. Love the features, duel bands, triple strengths switching. And the customer service is second to none (had an antenna issue that was fixed immediately, Thanks Nora!). All in all a great radio and awesome customer experience for an amateur like me.

Simple controls. Gives verbal warning if left on. No light warning if left on. Must be physically checked, so simple to operate, my 3 year old great grand daughter can operate. Gives verbal acknowledgement “power on” when powered on…and immediately indicates what channel its set on. sixteen channels. Excellent walkie-talkie for kids and adults!

I got these on lightning deal for 51 shipped. We used them for long road trip from car to car. They worked great even at distance, they lasted all day and they are easy to use. Excellent radios

We bought these for camping. The plan was for my wife to use it to communicate with me while I am backing the RV into place. Really I just love gadgets. The NOAA radio feature is super nice and gets better reception than our regular NOAA radio. Don't forget to get your GMRS license though. Works great, my wife can now yell at me when I am out of earshot.

Crystal clear reception from 6 blocks away, and further. Fits well in my hand, nice size. Like the included orange strap so I can hang it around my neck while walking. The belt clip is nice and tight. I like the flashlight, bright enough to see what I need to at night. The kids have a great time talking to each other from their bedrooms. Love the 10 call tones. Channel selection is great. 3 different ways to have regular batteries, rechargeable batteries, or plug it in like a cell phone. Seems like they will last a long time, durable.

The UV-9G is the best Baofeng I have used. I have used it in Simplex and through repeaters and it sounds great, great audio reports, simple to program, and gives 10 "diy" channels to input your personalized options. I am concerning ordering two more. I highly recommend this radio.

This is the best radio to start learning HAM and Chirp programming. Way more value than you pay for. Service is, with out question, top tier! Baofeng and product are first rate. I will be making further purchases from this brand and Baofeng.

Great Radio. I have 6 Baofengs With 5 different models. I also have Various Yeasu, Alinco and Icom. The GT 5R Is my go radio along with one of my other ht's. Very easy to manually program not like some say in the comments. I do use a Comet antenna with it. Would make a great first radio for the new ham or anybody on a budget.

This radio holds a charge for quite some time. It's fairly easy to use, even for someone as tech dumb as me! It's pretty clear most of the time as long as you're within range. And I love that it's waterproof, and I know it is cause I've dropped it in water already!
