Can it take the HF mod? Open it and show us the inside.

[@W6IWN_Radio]

I haven't heard of any for this radio. If you find any hardware kits, let me know. I have a quansheng k5 that is capable of the expansion, I believe. It's sitting in the box, I never opened it.

QUESTION: Which has better speaker- receive-audio , the Tid H8 / H3 or this Bao ?????

[@W6IWN_Radio]

The H8 out of the 3. They are all very similar. Not like the old Baofeng UV-5R, the audio has improved.

[@CatDaddySteve]

@@W6IWN_Radio thanks 😸

[@danno02]

I have yet to see a radio transmit at their advertised power of 10 watts.

[@darrenlomas6253]

Yeah me aswell, nothing received?

[@azcharlie2009]

Baofeng radios are great, but.... The AM airband audio always has an irritating hiss to it, unlike the Yaesu FT-60. The FT-60 sounds 100 percent better.

[@W6IWN_Radio]

For 5.33x the price, I would hope it sounds better. Some of these budget radios AM rx isn't so great, others are so bad. For a budget radio, around 29$ they do well.

[@darrenlomas6253]

How do hear anything from this radio - NOAA Station

[@W6IWN_Radio]

Here's how! The link should start the video @ 03:30 with instructions.

Is it GMRS?

[@W6IWN_Radio]

I just tested it. Yes, it does tx on GMRS.

[@XENONEOMORPH1979]

the uk thank fully not in the eu but the music is a bit to high , my personal preference is no music due to you have high and low music tones .
your channel you do what ever you want i can cope with it ,nice radio

[@W6IWN_Radio]

Thanks for the input. I was experimenting , and I will keep that in mind. Thanks for watching 😃

[@dogswhistlesharam9029]

No Bluetooth and app?..😩

[@W6IWN_Radio]

Not built-in, you would need a bt module.

[@tireballastserviceofflorid7771]

To much technodisco. Makes it hard to hear you.

[@W6IWN_Radio]

Sorry, it was extremely quiet in my editor -29.8db. Hopefully, my EU fans will dig it!

[@CatDaddySteve]

what is love, baby don't hertz me don't hertz me no more da da da da da da do do do do do do

[@tireballastserviceofflorid7771]

@CatDaddySteve Ya see. I can't hear it. Can you turn up the d section a little?

[@streubirne]

11 Watts are useless in a portable radio.

[@W6IWN_Radio]

th-cam.com/video/4xgx4k83zzc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_7npZNlXKmbnx-Pq turn it up to 11!

[@GeorgeAdams]

Nah, there’s plenty of uses. The little bit of extra power is sometimes great for making a long distance digital connection.
