Will this antenna improve my transmit power on the UV-82 at all or just the UV 5R?

It receives and transmits considerably better then the antenna that came with my UV-82, I bought 1 for each of the UV-82 radios I own, great antenna with a good price tag as well as looks great!!!

I own two 888 radios and it seems to improve reception and transmission on both radios. Nice antennas for the price and they look like they came with the radios. Perfect fit and sturdy construction too.

I have a UV-5Ra, not sure if that's the same as 5R+, it works fine, not in a vehicle though, better off with the rubber duck in a vehicle or an external mag mount. In the open, the EP 14.5 works just fine, no real gain to speak of over the duck but a much more lower angle of radiation when held vertically thus further line of sight communications I made some crude relative field strength tests between the stock rubber duck and the EP 14.5, at twenty feet there was only like one db gain over the rubber duck, at one mile the EP 14.5 was still full quieting while the rubber duck was quite hissy, this was through an acre or so of trees and hilly terrain .... buy it you'll like it !

Any programming cable for the UV-5R will work just fine on the UV-82. I bought this one a while ago and it works great: Baofeng USB Programming Cable for Baofeng Two way Radio UV-5R, BF-888S,BF-F8+ With Driver CD

I have a uv-82x (2m/220 version) and it fits perfectly. I assume that the 82x and 82 have the same case and antenna fitting.

I doubt if a different antenna will increase range as this is limited primarily by transmitter power and the sending unit antenna is fixed. Perhaps a larger antenna on the receiver might help but I found that distance is primarily limited by obstructions, so if you can mount the receiver outside in line of sight to the sender you can experience maximal range. This antenna has a screw on coaxal type connector approx 1/4 inch diameter - the receiver has the male fitting.

I dont think there is much of a differance except that the frequency coverage is extended on the gt-3---many people have complained that the earlier units (uv5ra), audio quality was lacking and that the transmit audio was low...I own both the gt-3 and the uv5ra and have had good audio reports with both units...joe

No. The specifications state that the UV3R series including the UV3R+ is 2 watts transmit power. More likely it is about 1.5 watt VHF and 1 Watt UHF.

Don't know, but the connection on the new antenna is 1/4-20 thread. These units did nothing for range enhancement.

I only own the UV-5R, not the GT-3, so I have not tested the abilities of the GT-3. But since both radios operate on the standard Amateur Radio VHF (136-174 MHz Rx/Tx) and UHF (400-480 MHz) frequencies, I am certain that these radios can talk to each other. The UV-5R appears to offer a greater range of frequencies, being programmable not only for the Amateur Radio frequencies, but for Business Band, Marine Band, and MURS frequencies as well. I do not know if the GT-3 can be programmed the same way.John Foote, KE7FDZ

Try a 27Mz rubber ducky..These Antennas are closley matched to 162Mz.... Reserched.... (wheather channels) This is why the wheather comes in with more clarity..QUOTE}There cute little radios.But not Quite up to par for mobile use 4 watts! Not)Try 60MA! Good for 100 feet!

Alfredo, the UV3R+ has the same antenna jack as the 5R, so this antenna will work for you.

Hi Railson....I do not understand your question, "Higher gain antennas recommendations ?"....could you please clarify. Thank you Chris

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

Yep It should improve your signal ... I use it on a outdoor antenna that is 50 ft from my house.... I went from 2 stations to 25 when i hooked it up.

I wouldnt get hung up on the details, the 5b seems like its a little bit more streamlines...and its blue sometimes. I have a uv5ra and it works great! I can hit repeaters all over with it, great range. I suggest upgrading to a 7 inch antenna, theres many of them around. Also the battery pack you can upgrade to the one on here that says its not compatible with the uv5ra if you shave off some tabs on it. Works great as well!

I doubt it will help. Go to Radio Shack and get there digital Power antenna Booster ( it plugs in to 110 ) I went from 4 Channels to 27.

I have only used it on the UV5 but the radios are the same just upgraded so if that is the case as long as the antenna mount is the same it should work. hope this helps
