Review: Great product - Good battery life. Good range for the money. Works well with my other communication accessories. Buttons are very tactile and easy to use.
Review: VERY NICE RADIO. FUN TO USE. MINOR DESIGN PROBLEMS - This is a wonderful radio that is a lot of fun to use and works extremely well. Please DO NOT be discouraged from purchasing the radio because of my review. This is my 7th Baofeng radio, and the best Baofeng radio I have ever owned. There are several design problems that I am surprised the company did not catch. First the screen is impossible to see during bright light. Also, when switching to the NAME mode, the names are very small and hard to read. However, when in the frequency mode the numbers are very large and bright and easy to read. The name mode should also have large letters. The belt clip does not have a study hook at the bottom. Do not count on the belt clip to keep the radio secured on your belt. There is no channel lock out option. I frequently monitor fire and police. However, they can be annoying. There is no way to lock them out. They only way to stop them is to delete the channels. This means you have to manually program them back into the radio or by using Chirp software. No lock on scan mode. You can easily lock the radio's keyboard when both channel banks are not scanning. However, if one of the banks is scanning you cannot lock the keyboard. This radio did not come with a programing cable. You will need a cable to program the radio when using the Chirp software. Look around and see if they offer a UV-21R with a programing cable. I have three from the other radios I have purchased over the years. This will NOT be my last Baofeng radio. I already have my eye on one of their 10-Watt radios.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow! Just WOW !
*by J***Y on September 2, 2024*

The first thing I did with this thing after charging it up was talk to a friend of mine that is six miles away from my house without using a repeater and using the stock antenna that it came with im super happy with this purchase! He said i was blowing his doors off with my transmission! We live in Northern Illinois so the landscape here is not flat at all we have hills and valleys as well as trees and buildings between us so this 6 mile test was not done on flat line of sight land. So for the money I wouldn't hesitate one bit! I liked it so much that I purchased a 10 watt version and did the same thing with it! I will be reviewing the 10 watt one as well. I'm not sure if it says the wattage on this particular unit but I did some research and it's a 5 watt unit. It is made of great quality materials doesn't feel cheap at all. It's programmable from the unit so you don't have to use chirp software. The speaker sounds great 👍 It's very customizable light color,sounds,Roger beep Ect.. (see the description) The charger base it came with is a great fit! It's not loose in the base at all . And the charger feels like quality materials as well. I don't know how they can sell these so cheap ? But don't let the price fool you these units are amazing for the price! Can you get a better radio? Absolutely. But you're going to pay for the name brand as well as the radio. I hope this helps. (I am not affiliated with baofeng. And I am not paid for this review. )
