Baofeng UV-5RTP Handheld Transceiver

Finally - 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. This is the same radio sold elsewhere as a BF-F8HP.

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 supply it pre-programmed with popular 2m/70cm simplex frequencies, too!

• 2m/70cm (plus PMR446)
• Up to 128 Memories
• Frequency steps: 2.5KHz, 5KHz, 6.25KHz (PMR446), 10KHz, 12.5KHz, 25KHz
• Narrow (2.5KHz) and Wide (5KHz) Deviation
• RF output: 6.8-7.5w VHF, 5.2-6w UHF (HIGH) typical plus 4.8w (MID) and 1.5w (LOW) levels
• CTCSS Encode/Decode
• DTMF Keypad
• 7.4v, 1800mAh battery
• SMA-Female Aerial Connector
• 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. For Essex buyers (and those who have their radios programmed at CARS' Skills Nights) - these are the default memories...
