⚠️ Amateur Radio License Required
This is an amateur (Ham) radio. An Amateur Radio Operator Certificate from ISED (Industry Canada) is required to legally transmit using this device. (IC Certification #: 25058-UV5RIC).
The World's Most Popular Starter Radio, Certified for Canada.
If you are just getting into the amateur radio hobby or building an emergency preparedness kit, the Pofung (Baofeng) UV-5RIC is the undisputed starting point. It offers an incredible balance of reliable performance, dual-band flexibility, and massive community support, all at a highly accessible price point.
Unlike standard international versions of the UV-5R, the UV-5RIC model is explicitly manufactured and ISED certified for the Canadian market. The transmit (Tx) frequencies are hardware-locked to legal amateur bands (144-148 MHz / 430-450 MHz) to ensure strict regulatory compliance, while keeping the receiver (Rx) wide open so you can scan and listen to local emergency services, weather, and commercial activity.
-
📡
Dual-Band & Dual-Display: Monitor two different frequencies simultaneously. The classic dual-display screen lets you watch a local repeater on VHF while scanning simplex channels on UHF.
-
⚡
Selectable Power Output: Toggle between High (4 Watts) for maximum transmission range, or Low (1 Watt) to preserve battery life during close-proximity communication.
-
📻
Built-In FM Receiver: Listen to commercial FM radio (65.0 - 108.0 MHz) during downtime. The radio will automatically interrupt the FM broadcast if a transmission comes in on your monitored ham frequencies.
-
🗣️
Hands-Free VOX & CTCSS: Features 0-9 selectable sensitivity levels for Voice Activated Transmit (VOX), plus 50 CTCSS and 105 DCS privacy tones to filter out unwanted channel noise.
