The output for 1.25m seems decent compared to others I’ve seen that claim 1.25m Tx. I’m in Canada so I’m always looking for 220mhz… even though it seems nobody uses it 😂

I am in Canada and I own the same radio but labeled as UV-82III . The dust and water resistance I think is fake.
The docking motion isn't very solid, not that easy to seat the radio into the dock. Unlike other Baofeng I have used and owned. Otherwise it's ok. The speaker audio is better than the UV-5R.
It doesn't have 8W for mine, about 4W or 3W for mine .
I brought these about 5 to 6 years ago
