This is part one, I know I've got previous here, but there will be a Part II
Please note: My reviews are not called Robust Reviews for nothing; they're potentially liable to offend but I deal in the real world, not always the rarified atmosphere of safe content - please give these a wide-berth if strong language and adult themes might be something you'd rather not watch. I hope you do get a chuckle though.
Before somebody points it out, I use just about every pronunciation I can think of for Baofeng (I'm claiming Bwafung as mine) - it's deliberate.

I've probably been a touch unkind to some of the aesthetic features of this radio (although, I think a bit justified) - the Curly thing, well if you weren't hanging around here in Britbong land circa 1993 that won't mean anything, I'll leave that to you to research.
The coins thing is a bit of a specific rant, but if you want to learn more about our odd pre-1971 currency (there were 20 Shillings in a pound by the way, 12 pence in shilling, so 240 Pence in a pound - yep... oh, there were Guineas too, we still use those for horse trading, that's a 252d unit) there's a sublime video here: • Predecimal Currency: T...
The music bed is an instrumental of the astonishingly brilliant and sadly a touch forgotten 1985 UK summer jam "Say I'm Your Number One" by Princess, sadly not heard enough these days - one of the least appreciated pop masterpieces of all time.
Part 2 will be released Sunday 16 June 2024, 2200 BST, that'll include long-range testing, some points I missed in the first one, a new segment called "Your Text Here" and I'll speak less about needing the toilet in that one, nor 'continuous discharges'.
Although I come across a cynical so-and-so it does mean a lot that you're watching, and truly, I'm honoured to have anybody watch my nonsense. It's all very tongue in cheek, and I really did need to pass urine by the last few segments - my eyeballs were floating hence I was a bit grumpy.
Oh there was a very nasty word written on that wall, I've done by best to obfuscate it (I didn't notice until the very last moment) - the world is full of absolute arseholes isn't it :( I'll know to not film there again!
Thanks again!
More soon,

The speaking sound is pretty okay. I stil sound good on high power when I drove a couple of kilometers away from home and recorded it with SDRConnect. It's bit heavy, and when you hang it on your belt, you can't sit down with it. 😂🤣😂 It does take a lot of time to charge it. For normal use I take one of the Quangsheng's with me.
Thanks @daytona1212 - yeah, obviously it'll bother people or it won't (the recharge time) but you can see where they've kept the cost down with the battery pack. My last video on it will have some more serious range and actual 'use' testing - they're not bad handsets at all - they're just not as rugged as they look in my opinion. Thank you for the comment! :)
Mine is factory locked. How do I jailbreak it?
To funny! Love it!
Cheers @thedayofevil - I’m looking forward to getting part 2 up soon 🤞

You were clearly negative from the get go there are plenty of very good reviews out there I would suggest you look at them before you make a finial judgment on this product
You probably won’t like part 2 then 😂. Thanks for the feedback!
