⚠️ Amateur Radio License Required
This equipment is a high-power amateur (Ham) radio. An Amateur Radio Operator Certificate from ISED (Industry Canada) or the FCC is strictly required to legally transmit using these devices.
The Next Generation UV-5R+ Has Arrived.
The legendary UV-5R revolutionized amateur radio, but it was time for an upgrade. Introducing the Canadian edition BF-TECH CA BF-F8RT (UV-5X). This 4th-generation handheld radio takes everything you loved about the classic platform and supercharges it with double the transmitting power, a much larger battery, and vastly improved audio.
This 2-pack bundle gives you a complete, ready-to-deploy communication kit right out of the box. With a full 8 Watts of dual-band transmitting power (VHF/UHF), you can effortlessly reach repeaters and make contact across greater distances. It is completely rebuilt from the ground up with the latest PCB chipset to outperform the range, accuracy, and output of older models.

8-Watt High Power: Push further. With three selectable power levels (High 8W / Mid 4W / Low 1W), you have the raw power to hit distant repeaters when you need it, and the ability to drop to low power to save battery during close-range comms.

🔋
40% Larger Battery: The upgraded 2800mAh extended battery provides up to 25 hours of operation on High Power, and 30+ hours on Mid Power. Use the built-in flashlight and FM radio all day without fear of a dead battery.
