Compact Dual-Band Handheld Radio

The BAOFENG UV-5R Mini operates on 136-174 MHz and 400-480 MHz bands with 7.4 volts direct current power. It suits hikers, campers, security teams and ham radio enthusiasts who need portable two-way communication and NOAA weather monitoring in a single device.

USB-C Charging And App Setup

A USB-C port charges the internal battery without a separate cradle. One-touch frequency copy matches nearby radios instantly, while smart app programming configures channels via mobile or PC. The 3.5 mm jack accepts standard earpieces for hands-free use.

Sustained Outdoor Operation

Water-resistant construction withstands rain and splashes during extended trips. The 20-station preset memory (10 FM, 5 AM, 5 WB) keeps key frequencies ready. At .558 kilograms the radio remains light enough for all-day carry in a pocket or vest.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the UV-5R Mini is transmitting on the 136-174 MHz band after setup?

Use the one-touch frequency copy function to match a known working radio on the same VHF channel, then confirm two-way audio through the 3.5 mm earpiece jack.

What accessories come in the box with the UV-5R Mini and what must I buy separately?

The pack includes the radio, a microphone, and an earpiece; a programming cable for PC or the mobile app is not included and must be sourced separately.

Which UV-5R Mini version should I choose for both VHF 136-174 MHz and UHF 400-480 MHz operation?

The single dual-band model covers both the 136-174 MHz and 400-480 MHz ranges, so no separate version selection is required.
