-- from Baofeng Official Website

For many years, the Baofeng UV-5R is very popular among ham radio enthusiasts as it is a dual band radio (2m/70cm) with tons of options at an almost unbelievable affordable price. This has made the UV-5R a perfect choice for amateur radio newcomers as well as a must-have for long time hobbyists.

This is the goal we have never changed: to design the entry level radio everyone can afford and everyone should have.

In midsummer 2018, there are two new shining stars going to join the 5R series. We are gladly to announce today the release of the Baofeng UV-5RX3 and UV-5R EX.

First and foremost, the Baofeng UV-5RX3 is a tri-band radio which focused specifically on the amateur band frequencies of the 1.25M band during design, supporting both wide and narrowband with 2.5 kHz steps. With the classic 5R Plus design, it is compatible with all the accessories of 5R series, such as programming cable, speaker, earpiece, 3800mAh battery, etc.

▶  128 channels
▶  FM Function 68-105MHz (RX)
▶  Calling Methods: CTCSS, DCS, Tone Burst, DTMF
▶  Scanning: Channel, Frequency, and Tone Battery Save Function

The Baofeng UV-5R EX, however, is a unique model aiming to provide all radio amateurs with the most cost-effective price in the market. We tried to keep all the useful as well as practical features on one hand, on the other hand, to improve it by applying the latest chip and battery saving technology. With a better sense of handling and all the functions you need, you’ll find the 5R EX fits for not only outdoor activities but also commercial use.

The best HT is the one that balances cost, functionality and reliability. Given that these are all determined by user’s requirements, Baofeng has been listening to customers’ voices when manufacturing all the walkie talkie products. We strongly believe that the goal we have been keeping in mind is the correct path that we should adhere to and in return, bringing more and more better products to our customers.
