Baofeng GT-5TP Dual Band Review
The Baofeng GT-5TP is, at least in my opinion, what the UV-82 should have been all along, but never was. But as with most Bofeng radios, they took away almost as much as they added to this radio.
Baofeng UV-5R5 Dual Band Radio Review
The Baofeng UV-5R5 is an interesting variant on the popular UV-5R. I was not very impressed with its improvements, but maybe you will be. Read on to see why!
Alinco DJ-G7T Tri-Band Review
The Alinco DJ-G7T is a very sexy looking tri-band waterproof semi-rugged radio with some good specs, but is it nothing but flash? Read on to find out!
Baofeng BF-F9V2 Plus Dual Band Review
The Baofeng BF-F9V2 Plus a probably the second-best UV-5R variant I have ever tested, coming in just a tad behind the BF-F8+ Is it another fluke or has Baofeng upped their game? Read on to see!
Baofeng UV-5R plus Review, a better UV-5R?
I have lost count of the number of radios that have been released as "updated UV-5R!" or some such statement. Most of them are simply gimmicks to get your money, some, however, are actual improvements over the classic. Which one is the Baofeng UV-5R plus?
Baofeng BF-88ST FRS Radio Review
The cheapest FRS radios Motorola has been their T100, which go for about $29 a pair and sell like hotcakes. Baofeng entered this market, knowingly or not, with their Baofeng BF-888s radios for around $24. The problem was that those radios were illegal for most people to use and made no pretense about it.
Wouxun KG-UV9p review, worth the price?
The Wouxun KG-UV9p was my first Wousun, and I thought of it as a high-priced Baofeng, after all, it is just another in a sea of obscure Chinese radios, right? As you can tell, I was not going into this review with a very neutral attitude. Did the Wouxun KG-UV9p win my heart?
Radioddity GA-2S Inexpensive Two-Way Radio Review
There are a lot of radios in the same market as the Radioddity GA-2S, namely the Baofeng BF-888s, eSynic zESY66, and the Arcshell AR5/AR6 models. The Baofeng is clearly the sales leader, while Arcshell distinguishes itself with colorful cases. So what does Radioddity bring to the table with this entry?
Baofeng BF-X3 plus Tri-Band Review
The Baofeng BF-X3 plus is another model in the UV-9x and BF-A58 family, with two big differences: a claimed significantly larger battery and three working bands. Is that the only difference, and is that really a big step forward? Let’s find out.
Baofeng BF-E90 440MHz Handheld Radio Review
The Baofeng BF-E90 is a small, pocket-sized, 73cm 440MHz radio just starting to appear online (as of this writing it is only available directly from China and not available on Amazon, although that should change soon). It appears to be a cheaper model of the BF-T1, missing some of the buttons and the screen. The BF-T1 wasn’t a great radio, but it was pretty nice for something that can fit in your shirt pocket and not look like a radio.
