Baofeng UV-B6 Dual Band Handheld Transceiver Radio Walkie Talkie
A part of the review has been auto-translated.
Bought 3 radios! 2 for use when hunting and one to have as a spare. These radios are good I’v used them for 3 weeks now and I sold one to a friend since I did not feel the need to have a spare radio. I didn't trust the quality before I got them. Now I do. The manual is not that simple to read and leave some details out. But there is so much written on the internet that a simple google will give you the answer faster than reading the manual. Manual 3 stars. Quality to cost is 5 stars easy. This is all bang for every buck. Some of my hunting buddies has ”quality” brands and some times have trouble reaching across the hunting ground. I have no such problems I hear every one and every one hears me. Battery time is good. I can listen to FM radio while waiting.
I'm not well versed in radio and I mostly use it as a glorified walkie talkie (pmr channels) but I can say that I'm very satisfied with it. It works as advertised. The communications are clear and the autonomy more than sufficient for me. I didn't tested the range. What I liked less is the loud "pop" sound that I get at the start of each reception with the earpiece I purchased with it, and it apparently switched to transmit mode when I connected it with the programming cable I also bought. This is probably a problem with the driver of the cable though, and it is possible to turn off the transmission and proceed with programming.
