@@bigwill4423the boafeng m-5r seems to have similar functionality in what looks to be the same form factor as the UV5R. It doesnt say if batteries are interchangeable though.
@@dutchbeef8920 ...not heard of an m5r....there is a dm5r but it is a dmr digital radio and is completely different to the BF-5RH which is an analogue radio and doesn't have the same battery. 🤔
Just got a Ar-5rm also the book it came with says bf-5rh. Ordered a 5rm. So not sure what the radio I got will do lol. Guess will have to find out once its charged. So how did your Ar-5rm compare?
Can you transmit on any good frequencies? Like the 5R? I ordered a 5G plus ad it’s worthless. It only transmits on the 20 frequencies that are factory set. it’s a new model which is impossible to unlock. Yes, I tried all the 3 button tricks.
No, unfortunately it can't pick up shortwave. There is an excellent and cheap little radio which does pick up shortwave called the Retekess V115 though. If you put that name into Google you will find where to buy it. 👍😎
That's interesting because I've just purchased the tri-band version of this radio (see latest video upload) and it came with a charging cradle and also says UV-RH on the front. Is yours the multiband version with air band or the tri-band version with no air band. Be interested to know.
Great detailed and thorough review. Facing God’s Holy Wrath, WW3, etc, True Believers will definitely need an alternative form of communications in order to help protect the dwelling place of The Holy Spirit in us and those who God placed under our stewardship. Thank you! 👍
P.S. I've just noticed that miklor.com has updated his software list to include the BF-5RH (UV-5RH) under it's own name so no need to search for it under the uv17 pro V2 anymore. Still the same software version though T6UV v 1.1.8 for anyone who is interested. Well done to John Miklor for an excellent website as always! 😎😎😎👍
Hi Will, another great video, both informative and interesting, I recently purchased the pretty new Baofeng model number BF-18H (UV-18H) which to my eyes is the best looking of the Baofeng family, I am loving this radio, excellent RX & TX. For anybody who is a big UV-5R fan the BH-5RH featured in this video is definitely the one to go for, please keep the videos coming, your doing a great job, thanks mate❤ Dave, M7OBJ.
Thank you so much David. Much appreciated.....and YES I do actually have the BF-18H (baofeng addiction.....terrible disease.....no known cure!😁) Gotta love the "Barry White" voice on the BF-18H and it never fails to crack me up when I press the scan button and you get the "scan onnnnnnnnnnnnn" Barry White rendition! lol 😁😁😁
@@airwolf08 it may be an issue with your cable? If it has a "prolific" chip in it those can prove troublesome. A cheap baofeng cable with a ch340 chip in it works fine for me on windows 11 64 bit. 👍😎 An FTDI cable is also an excellent choice. 👍
My question is about frequencies of UV-5RH. On back side after removal of battery I see 136-174 MHz; 400-520 MHz. Same as on mine. I ordered multi-band version and where I can find information about aircraft frequencies??? 108- ... MHz ?
The Triband version states 136-174 / 220-260 / 400-520MHz where as the multiband states 108-136MHz (RX) VHF1: 144-148MHZ (RX&TX) ; VHF2: 200-260MHz (RX) UHF1: 430-440MHz (RX&TX) ; UHF2: 350-390MH2 (RX) Is this correct or can the multi also use 400-520MHz (RX&TX), can it be changed in software or is it locked?
The UK version that I have is not locked to those frequencies but versions for other countries may well be and as far as I am aware there is no way to unlock them unfortunately. ☹️
Mine have UV-5RH on that lower label and on the back. The manual says BF-5RH though. An important difference is that the transmit is a whole lot cleaner than I've seen on the older UV-5R with the 2nd harmonic 50dB down using the stock antenna. Using one of those cheap AR-771 antennas the power is down 9dB but the 2nd harmonic is completely gone (lost in the noise) so might be a good option for ham events where there will be a lot of band usage.
Fascinating! Can you confirm whether your radio can receive AM airband or not as the model labels can often be quite confusing depending on where you buy the radio from. Thank you for your feedback! 😎👍
@bigwill4423 Mine will TX/RX 136-174, 220-260, 400-480. Although where I am the airways are quiet, but since I have 4 of them I can verify they do indeed TX & RX in those bands. They will RX only in the 65-108 FM bradcast band too.
@@uni-byte thank you for that. Was just wondering if it Rx the civil airband frequency from 108-136 but from your answer it seems not and you have the "tri-band" version of the radio? 🤔
American is the 5RM, comes with the charging cradle and terminates with a plug. The cradle is larger than what we're used to so it won't fit in in the UV-5R cradle.
Well... you are kind of right. In the US we have the 5RH AND the 5RM. I have the The UV-5RH. I wonder if the BF-5RH may be for Europe. My UV-5RH came with 2M 1.25 and 70cm all three are transmit capable... along with the "listen only" bands. Does the "BF" model transmit on 1.25? As far as I know Europe doesn't have a 1.25 amateur band. I believe the 1.25 is a business or Gov't band in Europe.
@@mickgatz214 Baofeng don't make "knockoffs" as such but the way they operate is that they will "custom build" a radio for any reseller who orders enough radios from them. This way we get radios which don't seem to be "official" but are still actually made by Baofeng. An example would be the very popular Baofeng UV-17 Pro GPS which though it isn't "officially supported" by Baofeng, is nonetheless made by them. 👍
@@bigwill4423 Hi Wiill. Yeah, I know, I was just being a tad sarcastic considering the multitude of different model/version/s that a continuosly being released.

Cheers, Mick
@@mickgatz214 Thanks Mick. Yep, still a lot of life left in the good old UV-5R. It still does the job and all these newer variants are just window dressing really on the little UV-5R that changed the face of ham radio forever!
Internally this radio is similar to the RADIODDITY GC-5 . Both manuals are the same with the exception that the Baofeng is tri-band, However, using 222Mhz the power output is negligible. Also, the CPS for the RADIODDITY GC-5 also works on the UV-5RH. There are two versions of the Baofeng UV-5RH. One is tri-band, and the other has air-band. The one I have is the tri-band.
Do you know if this radio was actually designed for 220 MHz with the right filters? Has anyone put it on a spectrum analyzer? Wondering how clean it is
I honestly don't know Jonathan. I don't have the necessary equipment to test it and where I am in the UK we can't actually use that band to transmit on. Sorry I can't be of more help.
Can I program airband frequencies into this radio with computer software (i.e. 127.000mhz)? If so, do you have a link to the software? The Miklor v1.1.8 I do2nloaded doesn't do it.
That is the software I use to program the airband frequencies. Make sure you "read" from the radio first and then using that read file as a template, edit it with your own frequencies. DO NOT try to write a new file from a blank sheet or it will fail to write to the radio. Hope this helps. P.S. if you don't like the CPS software you can use chirp and select the baofeng uv-17 pro as the radio.
I actually have both versions but the one I reviewed in this video was actually the multiband version which is the one I prefer as it has AM airband receive capability. 👍
@@bigwill4423 Had an email from them this morning, "UV-5RH is new model, it only can be shipped from our China headquarters, and delivery will take 5-7 business days usually." so ordered one, thanks.
That bigger screen will draw more batterypower. How much time does one charge of that battery last ? A ht should have inductive charging and bluetooth to function with a bt headset, waterproofness would be good too.

Hi and thanks for your comment. No, I haven't measured the power output as I don't have the necessary meter and dummy load to carry that out but a friend of mine "HAM FAM" has recently reviewed the same radio on TH-cam and may well have checked the power output, not sure, I'll have to revisit his review but check him out on TH-cam anyway. 👍😎 I've noted that it has three power settings in the menu, low medium and high and it's "claimed" 10 watts on high but as with all baofengs I'd take that with a large pinch of salt and frankly I'd be surprised if it even gets near 8 watts but we shall see. Glad you enjoyed the vid! 👍
Just double checked HAM FAM's review and unfortunately he hasn't tested the power output either. Still, the radio is pretty new on to the market and I have no doubt that some reviewer will come up with a definitive answer for you.....bet my bottom dollar it won't be 10 watts though!😉
FINALLY managed to get a definitive answer for you! (Honestly.....the lengths I go to for my subscribers! lol😁) old.reddit.com/r/Baofeng/comments/16ub2x9/uv5rh_results/ So it seems from this guys testing at least that the UV-5RH averages about 6 watts on high power.....was i right or was I right about it not doing 10 watts! Hope this helps!
I have one question - Today I received the Baofeng UV-5RH. I see that yours is a BF-5RH. Is there any difference between them? Unfortunately, I did not receive the user manual in the box. I assume that these are the same models with a different label.
The model names are confusing. I THINK the UV-5RH is the tri-band version without airband but don't quote me on that....you can probably tell me if it supports airband reception or not? They changed the names when they "ran out" of the black screen white fonts versions which is what my BF-5RH is. You can only get it in the blue screen version now it seems? 🤔
Yes, mine has a blue screen and white fonts, tri-band and it has an Airband (AM 108-136MHz). But I didn't get the users manual in the box. Do you know where I can download them?
Even when I have a device, I want to have and users manual. I have already contacted the seller and he told me that he will contact Baofeng. But only $26 with an extra longer antenna and microphone is a great price. I couldn't miss that.
The baofeng uv 5 rh(M) is the multiband one right? and the uv 5 rh(L) is the triband one if im correct right. Im new to this and im looking for one on ali.
Baofeng are quite happy to sell components to other companies and don't really care if those other companies use their name on their product. It's just how the Chinese operate. Anything goes out there and copyright doesn't seem to exist. That said, the BF-5RH is a well made radio and an excellent product whoever actually makes it.
I personally prefer the uv-17 pro GPS which is the most versatile radio with the biggest feature set. As long as transmitting on 1.25 meters isn't a priority for you then the 17pro GPS does it all imo
I think you can only clone a single frequency as far as I am aware? Best way would be to use chirp as the BF-5RH is now supported in chirp though you have to select uv17pro radio.
In the title and at 3:20 it states that the UV-5RH covers airband, which I cannot find any other source claiming. All other sources state this is only a tri-band. Anyone have evidence to the contrary?
There are indeed two versions of this radio. The UV5-RH is the Tri band version with NO airband BUT the BF-5RH is multiband WITH airband....be careful when ordering from www.baofengradio.co.uk or other sites because both versions are available and you need to order the correct one depending on your requirements.
The screw on battery is necessary for water resistant models. It may be a bit of a nuscance but it is functional
Would love to *hear* it. I understand it's hard to catch a ham conversation, but weather channel or something similar would be great. Also, would be need to hear the airbands.Cheers!
Would also be nice to see the screen in broad daylight.
i'm very disappointed that Baofeng did not make the batteries of the uv5r and uv5rh interchangeable.

I mean $18 is a steal.
How do I clone from my UV5R to my UV5RH? Can anyone help with this?
I think you can only clone a single frequency as far as I am aware? Best way would be to use chirp as the BF-5RH is now supported in chirp though you have to select uv17pro radio.
@@bigwill4423ok, thanks didnt notice it in chirp will look again
In the title and at 3:20 it states that the UV-5RH covers airband, which I cannot find any other source claiming. All other sources state this is only a tri-band. Anyone have evidence to the contrary?
There are indeed two versions of this radio. The UV5-RH is the Tri band version with NO airband BUT the BF-5RH is multiband WITH airband....be careful when ordering from www.baofengradio.co.uk or other sites because both versions are available and you need to order the correct one depending on your requirements.
