  • Good radio for visually impaired
Color: CAMO
This review is from the perspective of a totally blind person who is also a longtime ham. I sold all of my ham gear about 15 years ago, when I lost my eyesight. We recently moved to a new State and I thought that getting on the local repeaters might be a good way to meet some local hams and build some new friendships. I wanted a 2m portable radio that was at least partially accessible for me. Naturally, I sought out the offerings from the big three plus Alinco. I had previously owned portables from Yaesu, Kenwood and Alinco and they were all wonderful radios. The only currently available radio that I found with any accessibility built-in is the Kenwood THD-74 at over $600. That was well out of my $300 budget. I then began reading about the radios from China and learned that some have partial accessibility built-in. I did a lot of research and Baofeng was a very popular brand. After many hours of research, (too many hours for a $63 purchase) I settled on the UV-82HP. I have only had the unit for a week, so I cannot comment on how well the radio will hold up in the long run, but so far I am very impressed. This radio feels solid in the hand, not like a cheap toy from China. The volume control is solid and the buttons on the front and side, feel and work very well. While I have not yet transmitted with the unit (other than to key up the local repeater) the reception and audio quality are excellent. I have been listening in on the regional fire dispatch and it is loud and clear. I charged the unit on the day that I received it and have not charged it since, which is 6 days so far. Of course, if I was doing more transmitting, it would certainly require more charging. Speaking of charging, I did experience one problem and that was with the charging base that shipped with the radio. It was nearly impossible to insert the battery into the charger. It required excessive force to both insert and remove the battery. I contacted the seller, Baofeng Tech, and they sent me a new charging base and wall wart. The new base is much better and the radio easily slides in and out of the base. I was impressed with the level of service from BT and that is why I did not hesitate to give this product a five star review. There are resources on the Internet that provide info on using the UV5R as a blind person. I was able to apply much of that information, along with some excellent YouTube reviews, to get up to speed with the UV82HP very quickly. I did send a note to BT, asking them to consider two additional accessibility enhancements. The first would be to have the voice announce either A or B when switching between the two VFO displays. The second would be to program one of the buttons to speak the frequency or the individual letters of an assigned channel name. I do not believe that this would be very difficult to accomplish and would make a huge difference for a visually impaired user. As a screen reader user, I decided to purchase the RT Systems programming software and cable. I was able to quickly learn the software and program in my desired frequencies. It is necessary to use the software with the NVDA screen reader, as it does not work with Jaws—I tried it. Be aware that there are sections of the software that are not accessible using NVDA, but the sections most important to getting the radio programmed are accessible. I always treat my electronic items with care. I feel that this radio will last me a long time, if I treat it well. After my brief experience with this Baofeng product, I would not hesitate to purchase another of their higher-end radios. ... show more

  • Outstanding Value
Color: Standard Black
I have been a ham for 50 years but this is the first handy-talkie I purchased for amateur bands. I am generally not a fan of HTs. I have operated and serviced many VHF and UHF HTs back in the day. So, this review is probably biased a little bit towards what I've seen in commercial and industrial applications. Without considering the extra features for ham use, the Baofeng UV-82HT checks most of the boxes. Overall, it seems like a good radio. But, as some say, the devil is in the details. There are some great features and in my opinion some warts. That said, let's get to it. I think the great features (not necessarily unique) are: User Manual is well written and illustrated in English, and is actually helpful! Dual Push to Talk (PTT) / Dual Watch This is fantastic. One can monitor two frequencies at once: UHF/VHF; VHF/VHF; or UHF/UHF. To transmit to one or the other just press either the A or B PTT as applicable. A question is what happens if both have a signal at the same time? If you don't want this feature it can be turned off. Three programmable transmit power levels: High-Medium-Low For VHF: H=8 Watts, M=4 Watts, L=1 Watt For UHF: H=7 Watts, M=4 Watts, L=1 Watt Battery Voltage Display Press the “0” key for about 2 seconds and battery voltage is displayed; for example, DC8.2V It also displays the legacy battery ICON with bars to represent battery reserve. Ability to listen to broadcast FM, NOAA Weather, etc Press the F key below the PTT and listen to some tunes on FM Radio while your favorite repeater is idle. Reception of a signal on your active channel will interrupt broadcast FM radio and put you on the active channel. You won't miss a call. FM reception will resume after a little delay when the VHF/UHF signal ends. There is a scan feature for FM that will stop when it gets a signal, regardless of which scan mode is programmed. NOAA weather can be programmed from the keyboard in VFO mode or with software. With software you can skip the scanning of this channel. There is a built-in LED flashlight on top of the radio that can shine steadily or strobe. Comes in various colors How cool is that? I bought a blue one. Some of the warts Squelch threshold adjustment, or the lack thereof? The adjustment is made by programming a digit (0-9) into menu 0. The default setting is 5. Programming a 0 will open squelch continuously. I have tried different digits and there is little change in squelch threshold. Recently a weak, fading signal on 2 meters kept opening the squelch when nothing but noise could be heard. It could not be squelched – no matter what I programmed. Annoying! Like audio volume, squelch adjustment works better when analog. A dual concentric audio/squelch pot would be great. Scanning / Memory – Channel Mode There are 128 channels that can be programmed with either a VHF or UHF frequency, CTCSS, etc. However, the scanning rate is 3 channels per second. Obviously, scanning a large number of channels is impractical. You will probably want to scan only a dozen or so. A given frequency must be stored in a memory to scan it and each channel in memory will be scanned unless programmed to skip. With CHIRP this is easily done by placing an S into the skip column of the channel table. It doesn't appear to be possible to skip scanning a channel by a keyboard entry. VFO Mode Awkward and cumbersome. It enables manual programming via the radio keypad. The user manual suggests VFO mode is useful for experimenting in the field and programming is somewhat difficult at first. I would say its painful. You must first specify a vacant memory channel. This is problematic. You can scroll through the memory channels: 1,2,3... or enter a channel number from the keypad, but I have found no way to determine which, if any, channels are empty. Once programmed, a channel cannot be edited using the key pad. The channel must first be deleted. This insures that an existing cannot be overwritten. Scanning is possible in VFO mode. It can scan by incrementing the frequency in fixed steps as programmed in menu 1, STEP – Frequency Step. This scanning mode is very slow and probably not practical for many. Radio Case and Battery Case The radio case is pretty solid and feels good in the hand, but the bottom is not flat. There are two plastic nubs on the bottom of the case and two more on the bottom of the battery. There is also two rectangular depressions, one in the battery, another in the radio. If you set the radio upright on a hard surface it is unstable and can easily fall over. Not cool! Charger When placed on a hard surface, the charger can slide easily. There are four circular ridges on the bottom presumably for feet pads, but no pads were provided for my charger. Not a huge deal, but I fume when the charger, along with my radio, slides around with the slightest touch. Finally, the LED on the charger is red while charging, green when finished charging, and flashes multi-colors when you remove the radio. OK, maybe this is not a wart, but it annoys the heck out of me and it attracts small children. Why not just turn the LED off? Summation Any design involves compromises between performance, features, aesthetics, price, etc, leaving room for improvement. I think the UV-82HT is designed with a good mix of compromises. The radio has more features than I will likely use. It is very flexible. I have not tested any performance specifications. Perhaps I will in the future. Meanwhile, I can enjoy operating it. I like it a lot. It is an outstanding value. I give it 5 stars and my recommendation without hesitation. 73 ... show more

  • Great Quality at a Great Price, and it comes with Great Customer Service!
Color: Standard Black
I ordered this radio for my father for Christmas. He loves absolutely everything about it, and after playing with it for a while myself, I can honestly say that I can't find a better quality radio than this one for anywhere near the price. The build is rock solid, the speaker is loud and clear, and it gets wonderful reception with the standard included antenna. You can reach other states away with the standard antenna. Pair this radio with the optional extended antenna and USB programming cable, and you're set to go wherever you please while still remaining reachable and ready for any emergency situation. The battery easily lasts 2-3 days with about 5 hours of usage in combined total per day. I have yet to test this, but I'm confident in this radios' ability to keep charged up for trips when it's off. To add to how wonderful of a product this is, BaoFeng has exceptional customer service. With each product I ordered from them, they went out of their way to email me and make sure I received the products and that they worked properly. If anything went wrong with my order or products did not function correctly, I have the utmost confidence in their ability to make the situation right. I would highly recommend this radio and its accessories to anyone interested in it. BaoFeng will be there to help you should you need them, and at the end of the day, you're going to get way more than your moneys' worth out of this purchase! ... show more

  • Not fcc approved. Illegal to sell in us.
Color: Blue
it is illegal to buy, sell, or operate this radio in the us. Wish I could get my money back somehow. It is not FCC approved, and the manufacturer has ignored warnings and penalties assessed by the fcc. Further review is kinda pointless. Look for models actually approved by the fcc for amateur use.
