Does this version definitely feature the FCC Part 90 acceptance sticker? Some versions of the UV-5R do not.

Kind of and odd question for a $40 radio, However YES IT DOES, However if you are using the radio for something that requires it to be "Part 90" accepted.. Then I HIGHLY suggest a better radio!!!! ..Don't get me wrong it works and it's a fun radio to have but I wouldn't put much faith in it if it comes to long term use or something important :)

Yes it does on the back of the radio and can be seen when you remove the battery.

The UV-B5 has a channel knob on top and an emergency call button (which in my opinion is more of a problem then an option) The UV-B6 has a flashlight instead of the channel knob and dose not have the emergency call button. Other than that they are the exact same radio. As far as the 520 MhZ the radios as I understand it are capable of being programmed in that range but it is illegal in the USA to go above the 480 Mhz so to sell them in the US they advertise a max of 480 MHZ

Here's a couple of web pages that might be useful in answer to your question. http://forums.qrz.com/showthread.php?374064-Baofeng-UV-5R-models http://www.miklor.com/uv5r/

It came with a disk that had the drivers on it, however none of them worked with my HP computer running Win7. I went to the net to find one that did. It did NOT have the programming software on it for the Baofeng UV-5R so I went to the Baofeng website and downloaded the program "UV5R_64ON.exe" which serves the purpose. Another website is http://www.miklor.com. It has all kinds of info on it. One other program to use is"CHIRP". It is also a free download.I hope this helps.Bob

You can't legally use this model for public safety. You want the UV-82C for that; it's the version that is Part 90 type accepted.

If your fire department uses a trunked system or any form of digital radio it won't work. You MUST purchase the programming cable to use the UV-82C; there is no other way to set it up for the frequencies you need. The Baofeng is not as rugged as some of the expensive commercial radios, but at $55 you can afford to replace it if somebody breaks one. You can't legally use this model for public safety.

I have multiple of each model and as far as I can tell the only real difference is cosmetic. Though the antenna on the uv5ra+ Recieves much clearer and is also more discreet and durable than previous models. The programming and what not is identical on both

I am not sure what the UV feature is supposed to mean, possible that the screen protector provided cuts the glare from the sun slightly. That is what I have noticed and as far as the remote function I just recently discovered that function as I just bought the phone and have not found a need to remove the case at any time to use this function. The remote still performs well with the case on because there is a small opening in that section.

The UV-82 is type accepted: https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/tcb/reports/Tcb731GrantForm.cfm?mode=COPY&RequestTimeou;t=500&tcb;_code=&application;_id=915763&fcc;_id=ZP5BF-82

I do not know. I did not even pay attention to my shipment to see if it had a "laser label" (I think it did). Mine has the blue color wording typed on the antenna base. I did not save the packaging it came in, but seem to recall it was a vinyl-like plastic bag like the one in the pictures. Mine maybe authentic. I do know that it fits flush with my Baofeng UV-5R+Plus and seems to work well (better than the stock "rubber-ducky" antenna). Hope this helps.

My UV-5R+ (purchased Dec 2012) is BFB293. I've seen discussion of firmware through BFB297, although I'm not sure if that is for the 5R+, the 5R, or what. I've also heard that others that have purchased since I have have received radios with older firmware, so I don't know that you will get the most, or even more recent firmware.

Yes, it is. There are two versions, one for CE and one for FCC. For example, see http://www.sekonic.com/others/aboutradiotriggering.aspx . On mine, the serial number starts with the FCC version (JH12). Any questions, I have found the Sekonic people very easy to reach and deal with. Hope you enjoy the light meter, if you get it.

The person that answered the question about the FCC regulations. It is true, but there are several bands this radio will program too that do not require any FCC regulation ot license.

Mine did. I ordered and received in June 2014 an it included the required sticker.

I believe the current firmware on our UV-5R radios is BFS311, as checked in the CHIRP software.

Easy with cable + CHIRP opensource software. More difficult if you use keypad plus cant set alphanumeric labels w/o software. Ive heard people bitch and moan about programming the uv-5r but i found it incredibly easy, just like the Technical ham radio test.
