  1. IMHO there is two types of "Chinese Radios"... someone (unnamed) gave my Ham ticket grand daughter a Baofeng and it had features like GMRS and Ham but could not work... we donated it to a 501 c 3 non profit looking for radios. None the higher end radios from Wouxun sold by https://www.buytwowayradios.com have been the best radio for the price and we have several. I have a lot of the GMRS and Ham radios and they are priced right, have more programing effect as I use https://www.rtsystemsinc.com to cross from KG-935 to KG-UV8H. So you can not say all "Chinese Radios" are trash... ask us users of the higher end "Chinese Radios". FYI I have two adopted Chinese daughters and their family here in USA and they are like high end Chinese.... the CCP bring down the Chinese products that copy what we have... the higher end Chinese firms who do it right are the ones you need to look for. Enjoy whatever radio you have and make it work for your lifestyle. MacJack

  2. Nothing. Your right on the money. My point is what can one expect for a $25 radio? You pay $25 you get get a $25 design, if you’re lucky. You also can pay $25 and get something that can’t bear down the street too. There is a reason why they’re so cheap.

  3. That's not @OldRadioGuy's point: He noted that sensitivity is the only spec that the test determined was less than specs. I would bet dollars to donuts that no one buys a UV-5R based upon its sensitivity spec: they just see if it receives the stations that are important to them. Then they can always gain some experience cheaply and then upgrade as needed!

    A well done (and free!) site for test prep is hamstudy.org. I’m currently studying for my general license using their site. Edmo

  5. Sensitivity is the ability to receive weaker signals. For $25 you either can hear what you want to hear and if not, buy a better radio!
