  • Met the need
I was in need of radio for 220 band and I was happy to see this radio I was able to connect with a repeater in a town north of where I live. Plus 2 meter and 70 cm

  • Great HT, adds 220 MHz and lots of other features to the 5R family
Pro -220 MHz band -Display sync -Memory scan add/remove -Editable memory slots -VFO scan range -Included antennas MUCH better than most rubber ducks Con -Box has two antennas ( 144/440 and 220 ) instead of one tri-band antenna -Transmit limited to 5W, not 8W -Subtle clicking noise on receive -No AM broadcast receive -Dislay Sync disables dual frequency watch Overall I don't think I can add anything that hasn't been already said about the Baofeng 5R family. If you're a newly licensed amateur, a 5R is an inexpensive first-step to see if you want to get more serious about the hobby. If you don't, you at least have something for use in emergencies. If you want to go for a killer handheld or base station, you haven't sunk a lot of money into the 5R to prevent you from upgrading ( and it's a fantastic little backup unit ). While the big feature of the 5X3 is the inclusion of the 1.25m / 220 MHz band for North American use, hiding under the surface are a lot of other creature comfort and ease-of-use features the 5R and BF-F8HP don't have. Chief among these is Display Sync, which locks the A and B lines of the display together, useful for seeing both the frequency and the memory name at the same time. Note that assigning names to memory slots requires a programming cable, an additional purchase I highly recommend, especially getting a certified one, not a cheap knock-off cable that requires special drivers and workarounds. Also, using Display Sync also disables the dual watch feature of monitoring two frequencies at the same time. Speaking of memory slots, the 5X3 also lets you edit the CTCSS/DCS codes and offsets of memory slots from the keypad without needing to first delete the memory and recreate the whole thing. You can also add and remove memories from the scan list, though sadly there is no keypad shortcut and you have to go in through the menu for each channel. Scanning on the VFO side also supports frequency ranges, so instead of scanning all of 144 - 148 MHz, you can tell it to only bother with 146 - 147, or other subsets ( it has to be a full integer MHz, so you can't scan just 146.5 - 147.75, etc ). The included antennas are much better than the standard ducks. I had simplex roundtables ( about 2 miles radius for all parties ) and easily hit repeaters 40 miles away. Sound quality reports came back good. Still, a good aftermarket antenna will do better. My Smiley 27000 telescoping tri-band lets me hit a popular repeater 35 miles away on 1W xmit power and another repeater cluster 55 miles away on high xmit power, 144, 220, and 440 MHz bands. This brings up two big downsides. Instead of including one tri-band antenna, you get a 144/440 antenna and one 220 antenna. Switching them out and keeping track of both can be a hassle. Also, xmit power is capped at 5W, not 8W like the 82HP andF8HP. Right about now is the time someone chimes in saying the antenna on a handheld makes a much bigger difference than the extra 3W. Yes, that's true to a point. But that extra 3W combined with a good antenna can make a notable, if moderate, improvement on useful range, particularly if you have minor RF obstructions between you and your repeater of choice. Sound quality from the speaker and included headset are not great, but more than good enough for most users. My set has a faint repeating clicking noise in the background whenever receiving ( regardless of listening to repeaters or simplex, so I know it's the handset ) that's mildly annoying, but doesn't get in the way. Strangely it isn't present when listening to FM broadcast radio. Though speaking of broadcast, the 5X3 doesn't receive AM broadcast, a real shame. All told, I consider the 5X3 to be the better purchase than the F8HP. Yes, losing that extra 3W power stings a little, but gaining a whole new band as well as the selective scan list and display sync make up for it, and I don't even live in a heavy 1.25m traffic area. Those that live in places that do use the 220 MHz band will benefit from it even more. ... show more

  • Significant step up over UV-5R and similar
This is probably my new favorite Chinese radio. It’s not so much the 3 bands but Baofeng finally added a display sync option so you can choose to have the upper line display the alpha name and the lower line display the frequency or channel number instead of being stuck with the fake "dual watch" format of all the previous models with only one line for the active channel. You also press and hold the 3 key (Scan) and in VFO mode the radio will prompt you for a frequency range (to the nearest Mhz). So if you want to say scan 144 to 148 Mhz you just enter 144148 and it will scan from 144.0000 to 148.9875 (subject to the default step size configured). There are few other improvements as well. It works with the free CHIRP software (look under BTECH not Baofeng). This also supposedly uses the latest chipset and RF design. I get better audio reports and the receiver seems somewhat less prone to intermod and desense issues. It does work with all the same UV-5R accessories including batteries, battery eliminators/AA packs, antennas, programming cable, headphones/microphones, etc. It comes with the supposedly "improved" 2m/70cm antenna that's a bit longer than the original UV-5R antenna. In testing I don't really notice much difference. Get a genuine Nagoya if you want a real upgrade. I measured it at 4 watts actual output on high into an ideal 50 ohm load with a reasonably fresh battery. This is similar to all the other "5 watt" Baofengs. Why only 4 stars? Because it still has many of the same annoyances as the UV-5R and the confusing plethora of previous similar models. For example the "BAND" button isn't needed and indeed was omitted from the BF-F8HP. In VFO mode you can enter any frequency in any of the 3 bands and the radio automatically chooses the correct band. In Memory/Channel mode, the BAND button does nothing. It still has the annoying alarm function that can be triggered by mistake. And you still can't power or charge the radio via a power connector on the radio. It has to be placed in the charging base. And the scanning is still on the slow side. It's also annoying and potentially destructive it doesn't ship with a tri-band antenna. So you have to haul around an extra antenna and remember to swap them around if you plan to use the 220 Mhz band and either of the other bands. If you forget which one is on the radio, and transmit on the wrong band, you could damage the radio due to high SWR. Overall, this is the first Baofeng radio I think might worth paying extra for compared to the UV-5R. It's a more refined version of the UV-5R with some potentially useful added features. Even though it's about twice the price It's still a good value compared to many alternatives. All the radios designed in China have issues but this one at least has fewer than most. ... show more
