Baofeng Uv-82 Good quality

The Baofeng UV-82 is stylized as a ham radio for amateurs. Looking at this feature-rich 2-way handheld radio, many folks used to handling such gadgets would have a different opinion about that. Sure, this device is not the most sophisticated around, but veteran users of walkie talkies wouldn’t mind having this as part of their gear when they need to communicate using a two-way radio. The UV-82 is an upgrade on the UV-5R and not just a fancier looking device with brighter colors. The radio comes with all the typical features of the predecessor. But straight away, one would notice that this unit is sleeker and slimmer with a few other cosmetic designs. But the obvious aesthetics apart, there are other features that qualify this device as a better, more modern walkie talkie. To get things off the road as far as using the UV-82 is concerned, you would have to program the unit. Manual programming is possible but you need to be an experienced hand with radios to load and set up the memories.
But you’d need to do it with a computer and an appropriate cable; it is quite easy. A distinct positive of the radio is the speaker quality which puts out more power making it loud and clear. This is good for those windy days you might have a problem making out the words coming from the radio. Because the speaker puts out decent power, it is easy to judge the quality of the receiver. Apparently, the position of the antenna affects the quality of the reception. For instance, you get a better signal holding the device upright than if you hold it horizontally. Basically, you would need to keep the antenna vertically to for better reception. The quality of the transmitted signal of the device is far superior to earlier models of the UV-82 series. This could be due to the bigger 1800mAh battery that supplies more power.
