Now we have a relatively inexpensive UHF radio station with a 2-watt transmitter on board and a reception range of up to 3 kilometers in rough terrain. A gadget with an optimal set of characteristics, but not the highest rating.The reason for this was the marriage that often comes across to buyers. People who bought a high-quality version do not particularly complain, except for the low signal stability, but factory defects are too common with this manufacturer. However, he could already correct this situation, but his reputation is still tarnished.

The Chinese brand Baofeg, although not so long ago on the market, is already considered one of the most sought after. Now we have a budget walkie talkie with a 5 watt transmitter, which gives a range of 6 kilometers. The gadget costs less than a thousand rubles, and this is the best price on the market. In addition, the quality of this manufacturer can be trusted. There are many reviews and detailed reviews on the net. It is difficult to find faults with this device. Is that the lack of charging from the car network and USB connector. The radio is charged only on its own platform and from 220 volts. Not very convenient, given the not the most powerful battery on board. True, the battery is removable and you can always keep another one on hand for replacement.

This radio station, although relatively inexpensive, is positioned as a professional one. It is recommended to be used by warehouse workers and security agencies. The range is only 3 kilometers, but this is in the conditions of the city and a large number of concrete obstacles. If you take it for hunting or fishing, high-quality communication within the wavelength is provided. We also note a large number of channels and the presence of subcodes, which significantly expand the functionality of the device. The gadget will be an excellent solution at times when the working wave is heavily overloaded, and most of the channels are already occupied by someone.
