| Conclusions | Would I recommend this radio? No. Not because it is necessarily bad, because actually it is a pretty good radio. The problem is the Wouxun KG-UVD1P is just too much money for what you get. There are much better value propositions out there. Heck, some of the new super-cheap Baofeng radios have improved menu structures and GPS for less than half of what this radio costs. If you got one as a present or found a great deal on a used one, awesome! Use it and enjoy. You might not want to spend your hard-earned cash on it though. | I really wanted the Baofeng GT-5TP to be a better UV-82 than the UV-82. Not that there is anything wrong with the UV-82 per se, but they could have gone with the bigger keys, more power, and contrasting colors while leaving the rest alone, or even added some waterproofing, and had a really, really nice radio. As it is, I am going to say the Baofeng GT-5TP is basically a different UV-82, no better, no worse, just different. If I had to choose one, I would probably pick this one because of the easier to read buttons and contrasting colors. That, of course, is just personal preference. All of that being said, the Baofeng GT-5TP is a pretty good radio. |
