| Conclusions | I really like the idea of this radio, I mean who wouldn’t like a radio that fits in your hand really well, has good power output, really nice feeling buttons, and a large battery? Unfortunately, with some of the worst spurious emissions I have seen in tests yet, I think I might look elsewhere. A bunch of spurious emissions in a $15 UV-5R is one thing, in a $45 Baofeng UV-28 which is supposed to be a new and improved model is an entirely different story. I think there is better out there for your money. | 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. |
