The Baofeng UV-5R is a handheld UHF/VHF dual-band walkie-talkie, supporting a wide frequency reception range of 136-174MHz (VHF) and 400-520MHz (UHF), and also features FM radio functionality.

Dual-band and Dual-display Standby: A key feature is its support for dual-frequency display and dual-standby, allowing simultaneous monitoring of two different channels, making it ideal for team collaboration or when multiple channels need to be monitored.

Output Power and Communication Range: Its output power is typically 4W to 5W (up to 8W in some models or modes), offering two adjustable power levels (high and low).

In open areas, its theoretical communication range is 3 to 5 kilometers, although actual distance will be affected by environmental factors.

Portability and Battery Life: With its compact size (approximately 110×58×32mm) and weight of about 250 grams including battery and antenna, it offers excellent portability.

It comes standard with a 7.4V 1800mAh lithium battery, which can provide about 10 hours of talk time or more than 24 hours of standby time under typical use.
