BaoFeng Pofung UV-82 Dual Band Two-Way Radio 136-174MHz VHF & 400-520MHz UHF (Black)
Please note Pofung is rebranding name of Baofeng for international markets.
The new name ‘Pofung’ is easier to pronounce and more friendly to our customers, while maintaining the phonetic symbolism of our brand.
Our new brand ‘Pofung’ will gradually replace the existing brand ‘BAOFENG’ in the global markets outside China.
This radio has upped the bar on ham radio technology!
Compare to previous Baofeng products (UV-5R and the UV-B Series) this radio comes with a much louder speaker (1 watt!).
More solid design with larger buttons, and a better antenna.
This radio can be programmed with or without a PC to also work on private repeater systems.

UV-82 vs UV-5RV2 I’ll mainly highlight the differences between the UV-82 (this unit) and the UV-5RV2. I have both (and the BF-F9V2+, but it’s effectively identical to the UV-5R except for output power).The 82 feels better in your hand. The body seems like it would withstand incidental contact with the elements better than the UV-5R, but it’s not waterproof. It also has fewer sharp edges to snag on things. The 82 is about 1″ taller (body only) than the 5R.The number buttons on the 82…
Perfectly reasonable as a starter but read my advice Good starter hand-held for the newly licensed ham. Do not torture yourself with the manual. You will never learn to field program using it. Use the instructions at miklor.com instead. Turn off the tail tone. Learn menu items 11,13, 26, 25, 28,27 and try them in that order. Learn to field program by hand. Chirp will not be available when you are away from home and need to find a new repeater. Learn this sequence for each menu item: In frequency mode: press the numbers for the frequency you want…
Excellent radio, upgrade antenna and you’re golden. So I had to return the first one because it had a bad button, but this is still an EXCELLENT radio. Read other reviews about the performance, here I wanna talk about what antenna upgrade I chose.You have a couple of options, the Nagoya NA-701, NA-771 are the two most popular over stock antenna. I’ve tried both. While 771 is definitely better, it’s way too long for practical daily use. I settled with NA-701 which offers better performance over stock antenna, adding only 1 inch maybe in…
