This radio is quite good. It works without any issues, and programming via cable and computer goes smoothly. It offers high sound quality and convenience of use. I suggest buying a longer antenna.
Baofeng UV-5R 5W HTQ USB-C Radiotelephone 3800 mAh
Baofeng UV-5R HTQ is a handheld Duobander (dual-band) radio with a maximum power of 5 W. It is equipped with a DMTF keypad, dual LCD display, flashlight, and FM radio. Power is provided by a 3800 mAh lithium-ion battery with a USB-C port for convenient charging.
Dual Watch function, backlit LCD screen
The radio supports the Dual Watch function, allowing you to listen to two channels simultaneously. This allows you to transmit and listen on the main frequency while simultaneously listening to the auxiliary frequency. The HTQ version features improved modulation and increased interference resistance compared to previous models. The backlit LCD display shows not only alphanumeric characters, but also icons indicating the status of functions. The radio is equipped with a 41-item menu, a flashlight, and an FM radio, increasing its functionality in various situations.
The UV-5R HTQ model can be programmed directly from the keypad or via a computer using a USB cable. The software allows you to group contacts and identify them. The VOX function allows you to activate transmission by voice, eliminating the need to press the PTT button.
Durable housing, Li-Ion battery
With a compact design, the device is easy to hold, and its ergonomic key arrangement facilitates one-handed use. The sturdy casing provides protection against tough weather conditions and mechanical damage.
CTCSS and DCS tones
The radio supports CTCSS (Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System) and DCS (Digital Code Squelch) systems, which filter out unwanted signals, minimizing interference. Thanks to these systems, the user only receives transmissions containing the appropriate tone or code, which significantly improves communication quality, especially in environments with a high density of users.

The radio is really convenient, especially the version with the 3800 mAh battery charged via USB-C—you can charge it from a power bank in the field, which is very useful. I rate the range positively, and the operation is simple overall. However, I have trouble with the antenna socket—the radio can make loud static noises, and moving the antenna is the only thing that helps. Tightening it doesn't solve the problem, which can be annoying when using it outside the house. If I had to buy again, I would consider purchasing a newer model.

It's fine, the sound is of good quality and the FM radio does its job. I received a new model "2102223M" manufactured in 2021, which may be important for some users. The product arrived without an antenna, but after a phone call the company quickly sent the missing part to a parcel locker at their own expense.
