Overview
A long foldable high-gain antenna and a color display set up each BAOFENG radio in this pair. They transmit on the two amateur bands, scan, and program through CHIRP with the included cable.
Everything for two operators in one box, from speaker mics to spare antennas, removes the accessory shopping. The radios are entry-level dual-band units without weather sealing.
Who it's for
New operators setting up a pair, or a ham equipping a partner, get both radios and the extras. People without a license should look at FRS radios.
Pros and cons
- Complete kit for two users
- Programming cable included
- USB-C charging from a power bank
- Tactical and stock antennas
- Not water resistant
- Licensing not discussed on the page

Performance notes
Range is set mostly by antenna and height, and the tactical antenna gives more gain than the stock one. Transmit is limited to the amateur bands while receive covers a wider range.
