Great, full size radio. Don’t settle for lesser and smaller radios, often more expensive than this type. After several purchase mistakes I’ve finally found a good radio. Filled with accessories, everything works perfectly and I couldn’t be happier. If you have been looking for a quality radio for a fair price, look no further, I highly recommend this.

I got my radio today when i opened the box only one ant. was in wrap the radio and the battery was just loose in the box battery was complete dead after charging for 15 mins i turn the radio on and it seams to work but am not sure i will update this as it goes...5/18/25 update very good radio has lots of power hits repeaters thinking about buying another

EXCELLENT RADIO !!!!!! Can be programmed from the keypad, just takes a little patience. Works very well with all of my other radios. I can HIGHLY RECOMMEND this seller and this radio.

So far I like what my new Baofeng 5 RM have the capabilities of. I like the built in NOAA Weather stations. My Baofeng UV 5 R8W I had to look up the Frequency of my local Weather Station and add the frequency to a channel. My new Baofeng Has built in Air Band Frequencies and a third Radio Frequency. It also has three output ranges where my older model has only two. the High output on my 5 RM is around 10 watts where my older model's High output is around 8 watts. Some will say on a Handheld FM radio Doesn't mean much but adding a larger antenna and more Gain the output means a lot in range. I am adding a larger antenna that has somewhere around 3db gain or better. When it counts the Larger Antenna will come in handy when out in the countryside Cycling or Hiking.What I don't like is the Menu and Exit buttons aren't marked well only using Icons instead of plain Menu and Exit markings. the same goes with the Band Button. After getting used to programming the UV 5 R8W, Programming on my 5 RM is somewhat confusing. their Booklet could be better written when it comes to programming. and perhaps a little larger print for those of us with failing vision.To me, Both of my radios seem to work well for what they cost and seem to be well built. Of course Don't go throwing your radios around, anything man built can break when misused.

Works as it should. No issues.

Received item as described.

It is hard for me to rate this product because I have not found a way to program it yet. RT Systems Software (electronic version) would not download into my computer even though a technician was with me in my computer for over an hour. Chirp, another form of programming and free online, just frustrated me trying to get to it. I am not going to register with them. The only thing I got was an annoying add about computer viruses which I could not get rid of unless I go through their whole marketing add. Blocking pop ups blocks not only pop ups but relevant information. So, I deleted the program from my computer. I have a matrix that describes how to manually program Baofeng's, but it is labor intensive and easy to make mistakes. However, I may be forced to deal with it once again if I want to use this radio. These entries do not include the mix-up with Amazon who sent me what I thought to be the wrong radio (UV-5RM, vs. plain 5RM). So, I ordered another radio only to realize that UV and plain 5RM are two different radios. Supposedly. If I ever can get around to struggling through and getting the things to work, I will know. I am not new to Baofeng and have four other radios made by them (now 6). The book I got on them was worthless (The Baofeng Bible) to me as it tells a bunch of stuff I don't even care about and what I have seen so far does not help with programming to any extend. Nor does it explain how to clone the radios or, better stated try and clone the radios. A problem I have experienced with the other Baofeng's even after buying three different cloning cables. I gave this radio three stars because of what it says it can do, not what I have experienced so far.

Works great , picks up repeater, set up not to bad pretty easy , instructions are good , worth the money works great
