Do you need a license to transmit on BaoFeng UV-5R?
Without a license, it is legal to use for receive-only. A license is needed for transmitting. Be careful. Reportedly, that radio is able to also transmit out-of-amateur-bands, for which you will not be licensed, and for which there are penalties.
What is the range of a BaoFeng UV 82HP?
Range. Many users have reported getting a range of up to 50 miles with the BaoFeng UV-82HP. This range can only be possible while using the maximum power of 8 watts on a clear day with no obstacles though.
What is the difference between BaoFeng UV-5R and UV 9R?
The UV-9R features a 2200 mAH battery, giving the device a battery life of almost a day. The UV-5R, on the other hand, only has an 1800 mAH battery which is a big deal, especially if you’re planning to use the device that you’ll buy for outdoor activities.
How far can a BaoFeng UV-5R transmit?
one to ten miles
BaoFengs use the very high frequency (VHF) and ultra-high frequency (UHF) parts of the spectrum, which are limited by terrain and only travel from one to ten miles under most normal conditions.
Can a Baofeng be a police scanner?
No, Baofeng radios are not police scanners.
Can I use a Baofeng as walkie talkie?
The baofeng UV-5R is dual band and most certainly does cover MURS, which is an acceptable choice if you want a commercial “walkie-talkie” to be able to talk to an amateur radio. If you’re stuck with FRS/GMRS then that’s fine too, FRS is also licence-free (but GMRS is not).
What are the uvb5/B6 radio menu options?

What is the difference between the BaoFeng uv-5r and uv-82?
A year after that, Baofeng (now Pofung, internationally) designed and released their own radios based on the UV-5R; the UV-82, a more “professional” version of the UV-5R, and the UV-B5/UV-B6 with an entirely redesigned and far more selective RF front-end.
Is the Yaesu uv-b5 worth the money?
The UV-B5 blew all existing Baofengs out of the water, with on-air performance nearly matching that of Yaesu’s lower end Vertex (VX-**) series handhelds which cost five times the price. It has its quirks but for basic repeater ragchewing its value for money can’t be beaten.
What do you think about the uv-82?
The first two are pants as radios go, with all kinds of weird bugs, overloading problems, and less-than-adequate phase noise and harmonic suppression performance. The UV-82 crossed the line from “meh” into “good” with performance being on par with existing radios twice the price.
