Baofeng UV-5RTP Handheld Transceiver

It's a Baofeng that breaks the 5-watt barrier. There are many models claiming to output 8-watts (some even say 10-watts) but this model certainly packs a punch. If you need more than the 3-5-watts offered by the BF-F8 or UV-5R, this is the radio for you - Plus, it's the same size/shape as the infamous UV-5R so retains compatibility with the accessories but with the extra power output.

STOCK : We haven't stocked these for a while because it's been so easy to get these via other sites (usually next day) at not much more than our buying-in price.  As the only thing we can offer is programming - and that's not too difficult - we decided to concentrate on our own in-house products.

We also like the receiver's front-end as it's a big improvement on the UV-5R and only starts to struggle when very close to a strong signal on another frequency.

We can also supply it pre-programmed (at no extra cost) with popular 2m/70cm simplex frequencies, too!

• In the box: Docking charger (with UK plug), earpiece/mic, belt-clip, hand-strap, instruction manual and our FREE laminated quick-reference card
• FREE programming of local repeaters into the radio (you'll need to tell us, specifically, which ones) - and locked to Ham bands, if required

Why not treat yourself to a few accessories?  They're always cheaper on this page when bought with the radio!

Although these can be used "as-is" or programmed for repeaters via the front-panel, we strongly suggest the addition of a USB Programming Cable along with the excellent free CHIRP software to manage the memories.
