Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
❓ What is the difference between UV-5R and UV-5RH?
The UV-5RH is the upgraded "Pro" version. It features 10W power (vs 5W), a larger 2500mAh battery (vs 1800mAh), a bigger 1.77" screen, and receive capability for AM Airband.
❓ What is the real-world range?
With 10W of power, the UV-5RH offers extended range. In open environments (hilltops, sea), you can expect 10km+. In dense urban areas, the 10W power penetrates buildings better than standard radios, typically offering 2-5km range.
❓ Do I need a licence?
Yes and No. You do not need a licence to listen (receive). However, to transmit on Amateur bands, you need a valid UK Amateur Radio Licence. Using this on PMR446 frequencies is not permitted.
❓ Are my old UV-5R accessories compatible?
Most audio accessories (Earpieces, Speaker Mics) using the K1 (2-Pin) connector WILL work. However, due to the larger battery size, old UV-5R batteries and cases are NOT compatible.
❓ How do I program this radio?
Wireless Bluetooth Programming: To program wirelessly via your phone, you can buy the Baofeng BT-A1D Wireless Bluetooth Adapter separately. This connects to the UV-5RH and works with the official OLA App.

PC Programming: You can also use CHIRP or Baofeng CPS Software on PC using a standard Programming Cable.

UV-5RH
My first ham rig, although have worked with radio telecoms for 30 years. Solid unit - feels rugged. Use like any other in terms of menu / controls. Not got a VNA but looks like its not the cleanest transmitter from youtube. While i learn I have set tx power to low. Programming has been a learning curve. I’ve got it working on a Windows box reasonably quickly, and once i sorted the ftdi cable and drivers I got it talking to chirp - use the UV-17pro setting. Low low power, full of local frequencies from radio reference.co.uk and I’ve been merrily scanning with it. The easiest thing to pick up has been airband for major airport approaches.
