Radio Handhaeld Dual Band
Two rechargeable batteries with a capacity of 3800 mAh were included in the package, which allowed for extended use without the need for regular recharging. It didn't matter whether I was taking part in local ham radio nets, planning outdoor activities, or just remaining connected while I was traveling; the UV-5R proved to be a dependable and adaptable friend. The earphone offered crystal-clear audio reception, which improved the ability to communicate in busy circumstances. Additionally, the programming cord made it simple to customize the radio's settings. With this considerate addition, the UV-5R is appropriate for radio enthusiasts of all experience levels, from novices to seasoned professionals. The feature of rapid charging guarantees that the batteries are promptly supplied, reducing the amount of time that passes between sessions of usage. The radio's ability to be charged and ready for action is made even more convenient by the fact that it is compatible with common Type-C chargers.

Another great UV-5R bundle.
This is the ultimate beginner's kit for HAM/FRS/GMRS radio. A really good price for what you get. (As always, it is not allowed to transmit GMRS on these radios So you should not ever do that, you see. But they use a lot of the same concepts as GMRS, and a new user can learn a lot by using one to understand reception, line of sight, and tones.)This bundle came with a programming cable, which is always a plus. These radios are CHIRP compatible, and programming the radio was simple.It also came with three total antennas - one rubber duck, one whip, and one stubby. The stubby was something I'd never tried - it seemed to decrease the range of the radio by about 20%, but it also made the radio much more compact. Probably a good choice for indoor use at a corporate site.There were also a cheaper shoulder mic (decent, though), one of the mandatory earpieces (as usual, useless garbage), and an extra battery (SCORE!).The charging cradle can charge the radio, OR the extra battery.

Definitely reboxed.
This item has definitely been reboxed into a generic carboard box. The original plastic trays from Baofengs original box are placed in this box. Assuming to fit the accessories. Radio and charger appear legit. No baofeng impressions (like in the sellers photos) on the batteries but the stickers say baofeng. No markings on the 771 antenna or packaging. The earpiece is definitely different than the ones that came with 3 other baofengs all purchased this week from reputable sellers. The small antenna says diamond antenna SRH805S. The mic looks like the typical one shipped with all baofengs that include accessories and it works. Havent tried the data cable but it also looks like the one that comes with all the package deals and is not the same as the original one b-tech sells.All in all a decent price for what I paid.

Great value for the money
The UV 5R is a great starter or in my case, a second set of radios. With the extra battery size, the radio feels heavy in your hand, and charge lasts longer than the standard battery. I love being able to plug into the battery for charging in my truck. The extended battery is the way to go. The radios are easy to program in Chirp, or by the keypad.

Baofeng UV5R is nice choice!
Unbeatable price to own a Baofeng UV5R with a whole set of accessories, two batteries, three antennas, a hand microphone, and a programming cable. I was wondering if it was genuine Baofeng radio until I found it perfectly connects with my old Baofeng radio. The programming cable works without any issue, nothing to doubt.It's easy to find videos on the internet that will describe every option of this radio, as well as how to program it with a custom list of frequencies using the CHIRP programming APP. Easy programming, easy using.
