BAOFENGRadio AR-152 Ham Radio Handheld 10W Long Range Rechargeable Military Grade Two Way Radio with Tactical Antenna and Programming Cable walkie talkies Full Set(2 Pack)

These are just wonderful, the set is very well build, the materials are of very good quality, you can drop it on any hard surface from 1,5meters without being too worry, battery still has 4/5 lines after 1 week of using it and testing it.Very loud sound 2km in city limited by fear of don't disturb any other public services aside police and SS. Programable by its own software that's very intuitive and by CHIRP, has its own CHIRP cable and charger US/EU.Manually programming it gives you an ideea that how quicly you can customize such a device even without any backgroun in this domain. For me, reading the Manual of AR 152 and customizing it software on my PC and manual took me 2-3 hours. He seems bulky but i didn't see any other handheld station of 12.000mAh. A very nice present for my birthday.

Easy to operate, made of cast aluminum so not made cheap. Good price. Great for emergencies. Easy to program local relays with chirp program. Has PC attachment for chirp program for saving frequencies

Definitely outperforms all my other baofengs in range and power. The mic attatchment seems solid, and is definitely a quality upgrade from the base baofeng cb mic’s. The charging style is different from other baofengs, the inclusion of a car charger and charging port definitely makes this more versatile for on the go use

This basicallyis an updated Baofeng UV-5R. By that I mean it is a UV-5R with a huge battery. The case is rugged and feels substantial. It programs easily with CHIRP software. I had no issue with mine other than the size. If you want to run in an area where you have no charging options for 2-3 days, this is the radio for you. I only returned mine because it was too large for what I wanted to utilize it for. Look to the Baufeng UV-21R as an alternative model for less money.

Love these radios. Have not tested long term yet but they have very simple channels and the system is easy to navigate. I would imagine these are great for emergencies and outdoor activities. Charging cables and accessories are very rich with this set. You get a lot for the money.

Really like the long battery life but it would be nice to have the option to purchase a smaller battery for those times when small size is more important than runtime. NC Scout is right about the benefits of this radio's regular LCD screen and wider spacing between buttons. A battery not much longer than the radio itself with maybe a belt clip and USB-C charging port would be an awesome accessory.

I just dislike about this product is the deception. since it doesn’t put out the power, it claims so it sure ain’t worth the bulk. I did not try to see how long the batteries last. I don’t really care since it does not do what it’s supposed to so I’m returning it. You can do a lot better just getting a boafeng advertised eight which will do 8 Watts. i’m not really an opponent of these radios but they do help. I guess a place.

That's really quite impressed with these the value form and how how well they work I like them they do their job and I don't know how tough they are but they look like they're pretty sturdy they're not exactly a PRC 127 or 126 or even the new ar-152 whatever the hell it is but yeah it does its job.
