Review: Good for around the house communication - I bought this radio as was looking for a license-free radio, it's really good for the price, and it goes up to 3 miles in communication depending on buildings and signal output/receive; I brought to, them I gave them to my mum and the so her and the little one can talk and i brought another two as I got asked by the little one. But I've restricted the channels. Good radios for price, as I listen to my music and sometimes don't hear my mum shouting. Read the following features below what my knowledge is so far: Panic alarm: The panic alarm is good, but when on broadcast alarm it should only be pressed in emergencies only, if testing put a message out that's its only a test, the local alarm is good for when your out to alert those around you. The panic alarm can be turned off if you are going to give this to a 8+ year old. And you can restrict this to a channel and DCS/CTC code, and you can lock it to prevent any incidents Flashlight: The flashlight has a standard one (still) and a flashing one (strobe) the strobe flashlight is to indicate for help when needed when in a team etc. Dw duel watch: whiching between two channels, one for team communication and one for private calls. Call tones: 10 call tones, good to get different tones for different radios so you know who wants to talk, and it will call those on the channel, if where one is restricted to a certain channel it won't hear the conversation or call tone: Weather resistance: It does have some weather resistent but its unknown what IP** rating it has at this point, my knowledge and guess would be IP65 resistant, 6 star resistance from dust, and 5 star from rainfall, which is equivalent to normal rain fall, but if it breaks, then the second digit wil go down, but from this point the radios maybe IP65 resistant if the hear peace port of covered, (test it at your own risk though), I have tested it in the light rain and near to heavy and it with hold and still works. Sadly the NOAA weather band doesn't work. Scan channels: Scan channel to see the better one to communicate on within a team or for home communication for family and team work etc. Battery life: The battery lasts 12+ hours depending on the use throughout the day and how old the battery is. Fully charged within 3/4hours depending on battery usage output power is 3.7v which comes under licence free, anywhere over 5.0v with over the 16 channels then lisance may be required. Can this pick up other operators: “yes” depending on the Channel and DCS/CTC code you use. Put a message out on the channel your using to see if its free to use, be aware that licenced amateur radio operators will be able to pick up the frequency; to avoid use the CTC/DCS codes. Regulations and rules in public: This radio is apart of the PMR446 frequency band which is good as the is no fees to communicate, as regulations was brought out and now the is up to 16 channels where they are licenced free. Rules: If for personal use, and family communication you can use them in public, but restrictions may apply in buildings such as shops, Venus and more, but check and see if they have any rules for use within those buildings. Work purposes: Can be used for work purposes with no fees or registration of use has they operate on the PMR446 frequency band, good for gardeners or solo team builders etc. Apart from all of the amazing features that this has, I'm very happy with this radio; good for money worth for beginners and anyone who doesn't want to spend money on getting a licenses etc. Its also good to communicate to your next-door neighbour or anyone who you talk to within a 3-mile radius, keep in mind signal may be weak as it has to travel through walls etc. But I would recommend on getting this radio.
Review: Amazing - Very easy to use. Meets up with older pair same model, always trusted baofeng. I had a pair 1 got wet so had to buy this pair and I got 3 now in total and these worked with old pair. Not much interference on private channels. Easy to use and people without experience with radios can use and is a primary example for a beginner. Well done

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good radios for what they cost
*by D***Y on 14 May 2023*

The radios came well packaged and with a pretty good manual. They are very easy to use but I've dropped a star as 1 of the handsets has a fault on the display. That said it doesn't affect its operation in fairness. Battery life seems to be good but I've not used them for long enough to say for sure. They have been used for work but as the channels are the same as other radios of this type, I was hoping to change the settings via software such as CHIRP but these radios are not compatible with it unfortunately. I would still recommend these radios as they will work with other radios from other brands that's use the same frequencies.
