| Conclusions | I am not going to recommend this radio simply because there are other radios from this same manufacturer that I like better. It is not a bad radio, and the signal coming out is pretty good, as is the audio. I just think the UV3D is a better radio for the money. However, if you like the radio and want one new, you will certainly get a radio that performs well even if a little overpriced. If you pick one up used, then it becomes a better value. | I am not a huge fan of the Baofeng UV-6R, but also don’t deny that it is actually a good radio. If you are not a heavy user of a handheld radio, want something slicker than a box with a stick on it, and value good audio, then this might be an excellent radio for you. Its actual performance is pretty good and the price is absolutely right. Overall, this is a good, inexpensive radio. |
