Overview
BaoFeng sells the UV-82HP as a high power version of its UV-82 handheld, covering VHF and UHF bands. Features include VOX, a talk around mode and a battery saver mode. One lithium ion battery comes with it.
Dual band coverage and a high channel count make it a flexible radio for people who already use hobby radio. The listed range is a maximum figure and will fall quickly in hills or buildings. The listing is silent on licensing.
Who it's for
Radio hobbyists and hikers who want VHF and UHF coverage and are comfortable programming channels suit this model. Casual users who want to push a button and talk should choose a simpler radio, since this one is aimed at amateur use.
Pros and cons
- Dual band VHF and UHF
- Large channel count
- Waterproof rating listed
- VOX and battery saver
- Licensing info not listed
- Range is a ceiling, not typical
- Power levels not detailed
Performance notes
Range depends on line of sight, antenna and terrain, so a listed maximum is a ceiling rather than a normal result. Higher power helps push through clutter, but hills and buildings cut distance sharply on VHF and UHF.
