Good video and good review, Jason. I reviewed the same radio not long ago, that extra bit of power makes a big difference in rural areas... and the battery life was amazing!
Jason I just downloaded the GA-510 program from Radioddity and now my radio works great. it also has the ability to reprogram all my other radio's. Thank you Radioddity
I was so happy with mine from a couple years back that I gave one to Bruna Begali & Roberto Taglietti at Dayton 2023 after the got their US tickets. Their first QSO with the radio was in my driveway. ;-) The GA510 is so much easier to use & even program than any of the HTs I’ve had. Works great & has enough memory space for everything from the ISS repeater to the local stuff. Great video review, as always. 73 de W8IJN
I did a video on this radio about two weeks ago and had similar results when power testing. It didn’t surprise me as I often see lower specs on UHF than VHF.
In fairness, the website claims "up to" 10W on high. This will vary based on frequency, battery condition, coax/antenna, etc. You could lose a watt on a 2-3m run of RG58. Sounds pretty close to 10W. Thanks for the code. I might get one. Appreciate the video.
i guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot my password. I appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Arturo Magnus thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Just ordered one. Its now advertised at 15 watts. I'm happy at 10 but we will see. Got the programming cable, ear piece, charger and base, 2 batteries, rubber duck antenna, radio and lanyard all for $65 on ebay. Killer deal. Might even be cheaper than a UV5R after you consider all the bonuses. Update: radio arrived and is exactly as described. Amazing radio. Now just wish they would make a triband version with 200+ channels. Then I think it would be perfect.
That is not a bad little radio for what it is. It power is close to what it claims (which can be more than a little hyped sometimes) I quite like it, even though I didn't hear it operating. Now plug it into 100yds of RG58 and see what reaches the end of the co-ax lol.
Hey Jason I'm really liking these dirt cheap and I bought a couple of them and you're easy to program by the keypad I bought that little and I use that the program I believe mine is to be able to I'm not near right now but they upgraded that little dongle and I download the app on the phone and it works good thank you for bringing these radios to my 👍🌞
You can increase the light on the radio to compensate for the brightness of the display. Your camera will automatically compensate for the additional light. When you turn on the display, you'll be able to see both the radio and the display. All you need is more light.

Just ordered it Monday after watching the SmokinApe. I figure for the money you can't go wrong with spare battery, drop in charger, programming cable.The battery life is crazy good. Almost 100 between the two batteries? I'm guessing on standby? Anything will be better than 4 hours on my 70dr with all night to charge, but I digress.
Have one for about a year now and I'm absolutely offended how under the radar this radio is. Not one seems to be talking about it or cares about it lol.
Hey Jason great to see you buddy check out that ga 88 it'll work on the amateur bands to it's beautiful radio thanks for this one have a great day buddy 👍🌞🌞🌞👍
I bought the same radio only is called baofeng bf-h6 best radio I ever had moch better than my yaesu ft4 the reception is better voice clearer battery life really good menu good and easy to program without pc . The best thing about this radio is for me that no many dual band hand held radios have is you can put any frequency you want for mi is simply PMR a true PMR than Yaesu even after unlocking can’t do it !!!!!. But this radio can ! Just lower down power to low or mid and you ready to go and the best thing is don’t make that scratch noise when you finish talking like Yaesu do but sounds similar to Motorola just without bip noise or you can say roger bip .Excellent radio not just like others very narrow to vhf or uhf frequency but amaze me on PMR !
Some of the ads I have seen were a bit misleading for this radio. I thought it took two batteries (at one time), giving it the current it needed to handle ten watts and run for some time. Apparently, it comes with two batteries so you can change the dead or dying one out. Two batteries with a radio is a good thing, kinda like two magazines with a semi-auto handgun, but it is not exactly the same as if the radio held two batteries for uninterrupted long play. Great review, BTW!
when dealing with these new upcoming higher power HTs i highly recommend using external microphone. that will keep the radio away from your head/face. however with the capability of receiving two channels at the same time we might have to wait for technologies to catch up.just ordered mine don't have it yet. i live in a rural area and provide traffic control for our local fire dept, as well as emergency communication,( ham/cert/ares). i have been looking for a higher power HT for over year. we will see how well this radio can handle weather of all kinds. later kg7ntv/WQWL803
Hi thank you. I was wondering if you could recommend a good extra antenna and/or what kind of connection it uses. Also I hate to be a bother but is there anyway to power/charge this from a car charger ? Thank you
Say that could be the first radio that you might want to suggest to a new ham should buy over the Boafeng. I wonder if the spurious emissions and the harmonics are on this radio? Does it compare to the higher end HTs out there?
@@bulldogbrower6732 Yes, I figured that out since they have a DMR HT that looks exactly like a UV5R. I would just hope that there is a little bit more quality in this radio over their "You can get a ham radio for $25" line of junk.
Given a 4w Baofeng or other 4w HT, in order to increase the TX by one S-unit, you have to quadruple the power, 16w! Better to invest in a good antenna, either directly attached to HT or by coax. You alsojust have to accept the limitations of any HT. Low power, inefficient antenna, FM mode (power hungry, wide bandwidth), and ambient conditions, like hills and valleys, buildings, carrying the HT close to body, and not vertical. Tim Taylor's motto, "more power!" is not appropriate, especially if those few extra watts come at a high price. Better to invest in quality HT with usual power output of 4-5 watts, I say.
My HD-1 handy talkie also puts out 10 Watts and it’s a much better radio, built like a Motorola and it holds 200,000 contacts and a beautiful color screen.
This model isn't DMR so contacts are irrelevant. I have 2-3 friends who've had the HD1 fail on them after about a year of use. Plus this wasn't a comparison video, just an informative recording about this model
@@HamRadio2 Good news. Still, Baofengtech does not offer the model anymore. Should I be concerned about operating my "old" UV5R that is open for TX on everything as well as throwing out all those harmonics?
Excellent review Jason! Have a question for anyone..... I have a MFJ-873 SWR/Wattmeter like the one you show in your video; I lost one of the black knobs on the two different selector switches. Does anyone know how I can purchase one? Any info would be greatly appreciated...... Thanks, Mark W5HSJ Corpus Christi, Tx
It is just as good as a yaesu or icom ht. I get the full the 10 watts on high. Audio reports on duplex and simplex are full quieting with excellent reports.
@@HamRadio2 my apologies, I meant in terms of a budget radio . I use primarily for gmrs and murs. It sounds as good as yaesu and commercial icoms i have qso'ed with.
Buyer beware! I bought three of them and cannot get them to program. None of the guys at the local ham club can figure them out either. Apparently there’s an issue with the newer models that aren’t compatible with programming drivers and software.
Interesting... this video is 3 years old, so I wonder what changes have been made in the later models. I will say that from years of experience, most of the time when "drive issues" are blamed, the issue is actually with the computer, not the radio itself. But perhaps I can grab a newer model of this radio and make an updated video. Thanks for commenting.
@@HamRadio2 I have a Windows 11 machine but two different guys at the ham radio club have a windows 10 unit and were unable to get the radio to communicate. I had the same issue with BAofengs but I loaded an older port driver and now they program fine. I hope you find the answer so I can get these things working.
Looks like the same battery retention as the GD-77. Everytime a radio that has this battery hits the floor the retention tab on the end of the battery breaks off. Horrible design. Sorry if not the same as the GD-77, but it looked like it from the video. Radio may be great otherwise, but this is a deal breaker for me. I have 1 GD-77 and 3 GD-77S's. Can't take even a short fall.
@@HamRadio2 Yup. Some of the Baofengs do that. Another ham did a video on the UV-82 where he calibrated a lab setup and checked what the output of the radio was. Looked like a Baofeng version of "spread spectrum." After owning 3 differing models of Baofengs, I have developed a serious distrust of radios from China. (BTW: don't ever Baofeng in public, you could get arrested ;-))
I can't make heads or tails of this radio. First of all it's on Japanese language and I don't know how to change that. Much less 3 weeks now I still have complete picked up police station or emergency station.
Many radio hobbyists policing the bands in the US. Don't get caught. Well, maybe you should. Serve you right. Fines up to $10,000. FCC does not fool around. Nor do licensed radio operators and others (FRS users) who respect the laws and regulations.
Next time someone tells you you should use a dummy load instead an an antenna, tell them to take their antenna and shove it up their northern extremities! I live in a Washington, D.C., suburb, and do you know what I get when I listen to, or do a radio check, on any of the frequencies you tested? Hmm? Nothing! Zip! Nada! I can listen to them all day and die of old age before I hear a word. Even on 146.955, the most active repeater in the area, I have to catch it just right, and most of the time there's nothi...well, you get the idea. So throw your dummy load down the nearest claptrap and hoist the antenna. It'll be more interesting than what's on those frequencies.
Please, Jason, take the lead among reviewers in learning to pronounce the bleeding companies. If you're going to say Baofeng, say it the right way. Also, it's Rāde-ēē-odd-it-ēē. It's not Radio-ditty. Never was, never will be, so it sounds like a joke that's made the rounds a little too often. The company is established, the letterhead printed and the name's on the radios. Deal with it and, more importantly, learn to say it! When you're videotaping isn't the time to learn how to pronounce a company or a product. I admit, Radio-ditty was funny the first once or twice I heard it. Now that I've heard it more than 20 times, it's not all that amusing. And when I actually _read_ it on one of my radios, it was obvious that it was pronounced Rādi-oddity. See? Anyway, love your reviews. And BTW, how _do_ you pronounce Baofeng? 🤔
I said the Radioddity name correctly in the first 2 seconds of the video. It was literally the 2nd word in this video. But even if I hadn't, I don't take myself too seriously, you should do the same.

Yep. Still 9/7 watts on an HT isn't bad, but they should definitely output what they advertise

What I appreciate about Radioddity is that they usually include testing details about the radios they sell - more than any other seller.
Agreed
In fairness, the website claims "up to" 10W on high. This will vary based on frequency, battery condition, coax/antenna, etc. You could lose a watt on a 2-3m run of RG58. Sounds pretty close to 10W.
