sorted byK5 V8 is a bit nicer looking than this and I think the speaker is supposed to be a little better. These are usually on offer from between £10-15 + VAT
I am using EGZUMER V0.22 firmware on mine and it is very good.
This transceiver can be programmed with licence free frequencies, but the specifications of this transceiver make it illegal to use in the UK on even the licence free frequencies. (edited)
If you get a basic amateur radio licence you could become part of your local amateur radio scene, maybe you are close enough to access one of their repeaters. You could then talk to them about boring stuff, it's called rag-chewing. It would be a very limited beginners radio that would soon be outgrown if you got into the hobby.
I have a full licence and I'm not interested in "rag-chewing" with bored OAPs or local repeater "nets". I do a lot of home-brew building stuff and experimental antenna setups and stuff and use the OAPs to send me signal reports to test them. (edited)

My friend had a cable and it was a cheap non brand cable but it didn't program the radio and left it with the screen blocked. This was fixed after he purchased another cable and reflashed the software.
One like this one should do the trick ebay.co.uk/itm…OPY
Technically not legal, but no different to CB, in that the band is legally free to use, but most people bend the rules equipment wise.
Number of prosecutions for misuse of the band since implementation? (Late 1990’s?). - Zero.
I also have NA774 which is a telescopic metal antenna which is easier to transport. £5
My friend has the Foldable Antenna for Baofeng UV-5R (it is tape measure inside a plastic cover) and that works okay for about £8 from ebay etc.
Brought one anyway 😄
Please take it away!!!

This wasn't something I gave serious thought to until easter when i was in another country and my phones screen failed. it was so phenomenally difficult to do anything without being able to complete 2FA (check-in to my airline, order shopping, order a taxi, check my emails, log onto my bank, log onto amazon, use a travelcard etc).
I'm now concerned about what'll happen to the world if an EMP happened in an important area, or more realistic a solar flare permanently damages land based electronics. It has happened before, most recently in 1859 .... but even 5 years ago we wouldn't have been so tied to our devices as a form of ID as we are today.
What else can you use it for?
Ice always wanted one...I need to know what I can do with it.
Thanks
1) The modified Firmware is very good and easy to apply with a Baofeng Cable
2) With firmware you have FM, WFM, USB &AM (inc Airband)
3) Signal/battery meter is useful
4) Charge Via USB C
5) RX range with Modified Firmware 18-1300 MHZ with a few small gaps)
people more in the know... What useful stuff can i do with this?
Unless you are quite close to an airport you will only hear one side of the messages from pilots that are overhead. You need to be near airports to hear the ATC side from ground level. If the pilots happen to be transmitting they do status reports and instruction read backs, very quick and short messages and they are not very interesting. (edited)
