What is the RF output on UHF for the UV-5RE? Not the "spec", but the real RF output in watts.

On a watt meter UHF output is just about exactly 4 watts on the high setting. I ended up going with a Diamond SRH805S stubby since I wanted this HT for UHF use anyway and I can say that the combo, even for a stubby and only 4 watts, is impressive as far as true distance is concerned. The stock antenna is not going to impress you for UHF IMO. Ron, W2ZXL

Adding new features that I thought would help me but best I was getting before and now is 4 watts

Why would their tech support say that when the product specs say "Improves UHF/VHF/FM antenna reception"? Either the tech support person or marketing is saying something false, and I'd sure like to know which.

There should be no problem with powering either a VHF or UHF transceiver. (or a CB either!)

Hi Marc,Unfortunately I was scammed with this product as many others have, and although I made multiple comments on the subject, Amazon continues to permit these sellers to sell a product that will not work with the UV5R at all since it is not compatible. So, do not purchase this item, it will not work with your radio. Thanks.

Hey Keath, I regularly hit repeaters 20+ miles with my uv-5r on low power with the supplied rubber ducky! P.S. love the 202, it was my first rig. (73) KK4NIL

YES! !500 watts maximum. Pretty good cable. Not to be burried. Open air only. Burried type cable =$$$$$ Big bucks. Concur with #1 Response concerning UHF.

Reading the Expert Power listing, I found: "DOES NOT WORK WITH: Baofeng UV-5RA, UV-5R+, BF-5RA, 5R-B, 5R-C, 5R-D, BF-5RE, 5R-A+, 5R-D+"So, I'd have to say, NO

5V, but only 0.5 Ampere in truth!!! This model only delivers a quarter of it's advertised Wattage/Ampere. 2100mA are NOT TRUE!

I'm doubtful that they are truly 5 watt radios. For the price point they work better than the talk abouts. If you are looking for a true 5 watt radio plan on shelling out some big money. We use Motorola 2500s at work. They are not cheap. The baofengs are the best bang for the buck

Shows tenths of watts, but only whole Hertzs. Don't know about the rest of the settings. Hope this helps.

it is a 60 watt radio, howerver it depend,s on freuqency of operation, and ant . load.. the only true way to meaasure this is into a GOOD dummy load, and a calb. scope. i own this radio a run it base, work,s very well once you learn operation.. hope this help,s you.. p.s. if you run this hard, put a fan blowing on it !!!!!!!!!!!!

To add to my previous response to the question from Mr goddard, I would add that I receive all available channels from 3.1 thru 54.6 which covers VHF and UHF. But again, check with the mfr of the item.

I use the 3800mAH battery off my uv-5re. Either of my 5re batteries work on this radio. I did not see one on the baofeng tech site; I purchased mine previously elsewhere.

I bought 3 UV5RA's a month or so ago...I upgraded the antennas on all 3 and I have absolutely no problem opening repeaters up 20+ miles away...I don't see why these would be any different. I like these, they're cheap so if I break it, lose it, or it get stolen, I'm not out $200-300. 73 KC9ZVP

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!
