    Is this trending right now? I literally saw this on YouTube yesterday and people were saying IJV firmware was the best for it. I even thought about finding a deal and posting it! This is the exact video I watched last night and he has a few videos about this radio.

    Could this take a wired headset so could use it in a motorcycle helmet? Anyone know?

    Yes any standard 2 pin Kenwood accessory should work, same pin connections as the baofengs so most accessories sold on Ali for the Baofeng (Mics, antennas, speaker mics, programming cables) should work. Every thing Baofeng I have tried has worked anyway.

    K5 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.

    So does it come with the docking stand or just a cable?

    Only 1 left means you can only order 1, not that there is only 1 left in stock, it's how AliExpress displays it.

    You need to be a licensed radio ham to use this of the box.
    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)
    E_T_C's avatar
    These can be used with an OFCOM Simple UK Light License which is £75 for 5 years. This will give you access to a range of frequencies on UHF and VHF Bands.

    If the battery is in the device would the EMP fry this? it says usb charging, presumably the battery is in the device already with a partial charge even when boxed new.

    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.

    Do I really need it?
    Brought one anyway 😄
    fishmaster's avatar
    Make sure you explore the different custom firmwares for it which can improve the feature set.
  10. Universallyspeaking's avatar
    Like a phone but bigger and there are no Apps or Snake on it. What's the point.
  11. aidan_brennan's avatar

  12. Minstadave's avatar

    Thanks

    How does this compare to baofeng UV5R
    E_T_C's avatar
    It is a step up UV5R

    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)

    There is now a full band mod for these, however soldering skills are required
    TBC15's avatar
    How skillful?
  16. RichH6109's avatar
    I've just bought two of these and I've no idea why. (edited)
    slickafoe's avatar
    I think because if you bought one you might end up talking to yourself? Just a hunch
  17. Jetpac's avatar
    i want this and i dont know why either.

    people more in the know... What useful stuff can i do with this?
    SOUTHWALES's avatar
    Program in the 16 licence free PMR channels and you can talk to people in your area just like the good old CB radio days.

  18. Jetpac's avatar
    Whats the sort of range on this thing? (i know its probably antenna dependant)
