The Next Generation UV-5R, Fully Loaded.
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 triple the transmitting power and a massive battery.
Unlike standard radio kits, this specific bundle gives you an immediate performance advantage right out of the box. In addition to the standard V-85 antenna, it includes the highly sought-after NA-772R Stretchable High-Gain Antenna. This combination of 8-Watt transmitting power and a high-gain antenna ensures you can effortlessly reach distant repeaters and make contact across greater distances.
