Dual-band handheld transceiver

The BAOFENG UV-5R+ Plus is a dual-band two-way radio covering VHF and UHF amateur allocations. It transmits at 144-148MHz and 420-450MHz while receiving across 136-174MHz and 400-480MHz plus FM broadcast from 65.0-108.0MHz. The unit stores 128 channels with 50 CTCSS and 104 DCS codes and offers selectable 4-watt or 1-watt output power.

Licensed amateurs needing portable VHF/UHF operation

This radio suits licensed amateur operators who want a compact handheld for local two-way contacts and wideband receive monitoring. It also serves users who value the built-in FM receiver, LED flashlight and 1750Hz burst tone for repeater access. Buyers who require type-accepted equipment for commercial land-mobile or public-safety bands should look at purpose-certified models instead.

Licensing and programming setup

Verify that you hold a valid amateur licence authorising transmission on the 144-148MHz and 420-450MHz ranges before keying the transmitter. Confirm whether you need PC programming software and a compatible cable to load the 128 memory channels, CTCSS and DCS tones and the 25 FM broadcast presets. Check local regulations on wide versus narrow 25kHz or 12.5kHz channel spacing for your intended operating area.

Questions about this item

What antenna connector does the UV-5R+ Plus use so I know which antenna to buy?

It uses an SMA-female connector, so any standard SMA-male antenna for 136-174 MHz and 400-480 MHz will fit.

Will the UV-5R+ Plus interfere with my older analogue scanner when both are monitoring VHF?

The radio receives 136-174 MHz and 400-480 MHz; its receiver is independent, so it will not transmit unless you press PTT, leaving your scanner unaffected.

How can I verify the 1750 Hz burst tone is actually opening the local repeater?

Press the side key assigned to the 1750 Hz tone; you should hear the repeater’s courtesy beep or see the RX indicator light when it responds.
