WHAT IS THE DIFRENCE BETWEEN UV82 AND THE UV82L
1527790
There is no difference. The purpose of the L is to determine who the radio was purchased from to identify it for returns or replacements.

There is no difference between the UV-82 and the UV-82L.After I contacted Baofeng directly and asked them about it, they told me that the UV-82L has been re-labled by a Re-seller who is trying to charge more money for the same radio. Saying it is a New and Upgraded unit. It is not.They also do not make a 3400 ma battery. The batteries are 1800ma batteries re-labeled to 3400ma so the greedy vendor can charge more for them.Buyer beware.The Radio is a good unit and works fine. it is an upgrade over the UV-5r , louder audio, better antenna, and a full 5 watts of power, so if you find one at a good price go ahead and buy it. Just remember that the labels are misleading.

From what I have read. Absolutely nothing. I am no expert, and I only have the Uv82L version. From what is put out on the internet it is only the label on the battery that is different, but it is still the same battery. (From what I have read on internet) sorry can't be more help!!!

No difference at all, external, features and function are the same. I have both the UV82 and UV82L. Go for the cheaper one, it's the same thing.

Having bought the UV82 and the UV82L, the only difference is that the UV82L had a 2 PTT headset with it. Otherwise they are the same radio.

My husband says UV82L has a larger battery and it fits better in his hand. The microphone is also better. He loves loves loves it!!!!!

I looked at both models and it does appear there is a slight difference. The UV-82 has the FM radio freqs and the UV-82L does not. Check into it and double check...

Sorry I have only used this on the UV-5R so I can't say if it will work for the UV-82.

The 14.5" antenna works very well on the uv82. I have both and very happy with it.

The UV light only comes with certain models. I would double check the description of the one you purchased.

Actually very good question. I got two radios, one UV-5R+ and one UV-5R. The UV-5R+ is version BFB293; the UV-5R is version BFB295. Seems like the older radio as the latest firmware... To check the firmware on your radio: turn it off; press 3 and hold while turning it on. Wait 2 seconds and you will see the radio firmware as BFB***.

This dual band 1.25m/2m radio is made for both USA and European markets and is actually a commercial transceiver that is type approved for amateur radio use. The Wouxun dual-band equivalent comes with two dual band antennas with different "220" MHz ranges for this reason. I never experienced any performance issues using the stock Baofeng 144/220 dual antenna with the the UV-82X so perhaps it's actually in range. You could purchase a Wouxun dual-band USA antenna if there is much of a concern.

The only difference I could see while deciding between these two UV lights is the description and the power. The Honeywell UV100A1059 UV is 36 watts. The Honeywell RUVLAMP1/C UV is 18 watts. I decided to get the more powerful unit for about the same price.

the 8602 has a special hand-tite connection and the 8612 has a regular brass connection. also the 8612 can be tightened with a wrench. that is the only difference.

I have no personal experience with either of those models, but Baofeng hasn't changed this since the UV-2, so I would guess it would be fine. In any case, it's not a big investment...

Some models come with a UV filter and some don't. As I ready had a stand alone UV unit, I bought the cheaper unit w/o UV filter. I would hope that the product specifications, based on the size of the unit, would include that information. Sorry, but that is the best I can do.

Part 90 radio will be the UV6 or UV8. I much prefer the new UV8, true dual band and nice color display. Got two of themand giving away the UV6. There are slight differences in the UV6, more coverage on some, confusing yes!

these uvb5 & uvb6 radios are absolute crap.....I have had to throw away at least 3 of them. Total garbage..... if you are going to get a baofeng get the uv-82 or the original uv5r. As for antennas spend the extra money and get a comet or diamond from a RADIO retailer not here or ebay you will be wasting your money with all the no name knock off antennas here especially since most of them are for the business band not the ham band. FIY the stock antenna on the uv82 actually does pretty descent for a stock one.anyway good luck, mark KC9ZHR 73!

There is no UV light emitted by the product. UV light starts at 400nm and below, whereas the product puts out light from the 590nm to 880nm range, well above the UV spectrum. Goggles are included with the product and MUST be used at all times, since the light is very bright.

I am using it on THREE UV-82's and I am THRILLED by its performance on both VHF High band 144-176 MHz and UHF 460-512 MHz. Hope this helps.

Revised answer. The UV-82X does Not TX or RX at 511.1125MHz. The UV-82 will TX & RX on that frequency.

Try calling MCP-Distributions at 760-639-8346, between the hours of 9am - 6pm PST, Monday - Friday. This is where I bought mine, through here on Amazon. You'll probably need your model number. From the pic, the model number is HE220. The UV lights were $10 as of 7/11/13. Hope this helps. Dayton

It doesn't say anything about UV on the package. The graph shows little output below 400nm, <5% daylight. It's equivalent to a 10w fluorescent and a 50w incandescent.
