Hello. This is my third unit of this model. The price-to-quality ratio is very good. It meets my requirements in terms of frequency range, intuitive operation, user interface, and range. I think for this kind of money there's nothing to complain about. It will definitely perform well in the field. I recommend it.
Baofeng UV-5R HTQ 5W Camo Radio
The UV-5R HTQ radio features a dual-band (duobander) transmitter-receiver system and display, enabling flexible operation on a chosen band with two separate frequencies (transmit/receive on the primary frequency plus monitoring on a secondary frequency). A dedicated button allows quick switching between primary frequencies. In the HTQ variant, both modulation quality and resistance to interference are enhanced over earlier models.
Shortcuts, backlit LCD screen
Most functions are accessible via dedicated shortcuts, eliminating the need to search through complex multi-level menus. The backlit LCD screen provides clear visualization of both alphanumeric data and icons that indicate the operational status of most integrated features. Additionally, the radio comes equipped with a flashlight and FM radio functionality.

Good for starting out. And actually it can mainly be used for fun. The frequency range limits its use in emergency situations. The range is not exactly as stated in the documentation – it's a bit exaggerated ;-)
-
I recommend this radio without hesitation. Well made and solid. The battery lasts long, even surprisingly long. Very fast shipping. Great quality. Many accessories included.
-
A very good choice for the price. Performs well in use. The item matches the description. The battery lasts well and you can work for a longer time without worries.
-
Great radio phone, good price for the quality, very long range, ideal for beginners—highly recommend to anyone interested. Perfect for outdoor trips.
-
The radio transceiver does what it should. Connects quickly and at a distance. It's worth trying other antennas—the range can be surprisingly good. One of the more interesting options to start with amateur radio. Of course, it works well in the field; range is a bit lower in the mountains, but that's normal. Worth the price for the quality.
-
Everything works as it should. The equipment isn’t expensive and worth its price. I use it from time to time when traveling with kids or boating on the lake. Many simple and useful functions.
-
A very good product in terms of quality for its price. Listening to two frequencies and the FM radio switch option are really cool. It fully fulfills its purpose, I highly recommend it.
-
The item matches the description. Baofeng is the most recognizable walkie-talkie brand in Europe, and for good reason. I am satisfied with the purchase, the compact dimensions of the radio, and the complete set of necessary accessories.
-
Excellent product for its price. An ideal radio for anyone involved in the topic as well as for beginner enthusiasts! Simple to use. Good range. Recommended.
-
I recommend. Incredibly easy to use, tested in the forest and works up to 3 km which is enough for most trips. The headphones included are okay, but not suitable if you wear glasses.
-
Works very well even over very long distances. It lasts a long time on a single charge. Built in such a way that you don’t have to worry about drops or other accidents.
-
Probably (even after many years since purchase), there’s no competition for this price on the market. The battery lasts a long time (mainly I use it for listening), because I use PMR Baofengs for conversations. The radio has so many features that I don't even know the purpose of more than half, but it doesn’t affect everyday use.
-
Small and functional. This is my next copy of this model. It works perfectly during mountain hikes. The operating time on a single charge and range depending on terrain are satisfactory. Works well with a throat microphone. Worth recommending.
-
Easy to use and compact. The shipment arrived really quickly. Clear sound and the ability to personalize settings. Fast battery charging. I recommend it.
