Baofeng UV-82 UK | Dual PTT Long Range Walkie Talkie (5W VHF/UHF)
The Professional Choice for Security, Construction & Events
The Baofeng UV-82 UK Edition sets a new standard in affordable ham radio technology. Designed for professionals and serious amateurs alike, it features a rugged casing, louder audio (1 Watt speaker), and the revolutionary Dual Push-to-Talk (PTT) button.
Unlike standard walkie talkies, the UV-82 Dual Band allows you to transmit on two different frequencies instantly without switching channels—perfect for managing multiple teams in busy environments like warehouses, building sites, or festivals. Comparing it to the Baofeng BF-888S or UV-5R, the UV-82 offers a massive leap in audio quality and professional feel.

The Baofeng UV series is built to perform in demanding UK industries. Its durability and loud audio make it the top choice for:
- Security & Door Staff: Manage internal and external teams simultaneously with Dual PTT.
- Construction Sites: Loud 1W speaker cuts through heavy machinery noise.
- Warehousing & Logistics: Coordinate pickers and drivers instantly across large floors.
- Outdoor & Hiking: Reliable long-range communication in remote areas.

Key Features
- The Dual Push-to-Talk Difference: A game-changer for team communication. Press the Top Button to transmit on Frequency A (e.g., Security Team) and the Bottom Button to transmit on Frequency B (e.g., Logistics Team). No menu diving required.
- Versatile Radio for Amateur Use: The UV-82 is legal for use on amateur frequencies. It is able to transmit on Narrowband (12.5kHz) and Wideband (25kHz).
- Dual Watch Receiver: Monitor two different frequencies (even on different bands like VHF and UHF) simultaneously. The radio automatically prioritises the incoming call.
- FM Broadcast Station: Listen to commercial FM radio (65-108MHz). When a call comes in on your main channels, the FM radio automatically mutes so you never miss a message.
- Internal VOX Function: The Baofeng UV-82 Dual has an internal VOX (Voice Operated Transmit) function for convenient hands-free operation. This can be used in conjunction with the UV-82 Speaker Mic.
