Conclusions

Would I recommend the Baofeng K68? Nope. Overall, it is not a bad radio for what it is, and at its price point. The problem I have is that there are radios like the Baofeng 5RM for the same or less money, that are better overall radios. Spend a little more, and you could go with one of my favorite beginner radios, the Tidradio TD-H8, or even the BF-F8HP Pro with GPS.

If you have one already, or you get one as a gift, nothing wrong with it.

This is a better radio than the K68, but the differences are very minor. The receiver sensitivity is a little better, the transmitted audio is a little better, and the transmitted signal is a little better. Note my repeated use of the word “little”. If you were going to choose between the two, this one is just a tad better option, although both are poor choices considering the amazing radios out there like the Tidradio H3 and H8, as well as the Baofeng 5RM.

No, this is not that bad, but it isn’t that great either. You have better options for your money.
