⚠️ Amateur Radio License Required
This 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 this device.
The Classic UV-5R, Supercharged.
The Baofeng UV-5R is the most iconic entry-level amateur radio on the planet, but sometimes standard power just isn't enough to get over the ridge. The BF-TECH CA UV-5R (8-Watt) takes the legendary, compact chassis you know and love and upgrades the internal chipset to push double the transmitting power.
Because it shares the exact same exterior footprint as the standard 4W UV-5R, this 8-watt powerhouse is completely cross-compatible with your existing UV-5R accessories. Your extended batteries, protective cases, and Kenwood 2-pin (K-Plug) speaker mics will all fit perfectly. Whether you are upgrading your current radio or buying your very first rig, this high-power edition ensures you have the reach you need when it matters most.
