Shop BAI05 Thanks Gregory, We've had quite some newbies getting this radio lately. The UV5R is a classic with lots of whistles and bells and online tutorials (popular with the HAM radio community in USA). If you need info on programming, have a look at the Advices section: https://carnity.com/advice/offroad/carnity-two-way-radio-frequencies-r119 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Gregory Perkin Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Thanks Frederic, I own and use this radio and found it easy to programme and very robust. Seems to have quite a following with enthusiasts in the US too. A bargain for the price. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Radio license is required for commercial usage like security companies, construction companies, etc. For hobbyist using the radio in the desert, we prefer to use license-free to use frequency band (PMR446.0-446.1) 2 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."
