⚠️ 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 Heavy-Duty UV-5R Upgrade.
If you love the flexibility of the classic UV-5R but need a radio built for more demanding outdoor environments, the BF-TECH CA Baofeng UV-82RT is your answer. Designed from the ground up to be more ergonomic and robust, the UV-82 series features a modernized PCB chipset, a much more solid chassis, and oversized buttons that are easy to operate even while wearing heavy gloves.
The "RT" in this second-generation model signifies serious power. It steps up the transmission capabilities with three selectable power levels, peaking at a massive 8 Watts of high-output power to ensure your signal punches through dense woods and tough terrain. Coupled with a vastly improved 1-Watt speaker, you will hear incoming transmissions loud and clear.

8-Watt High Output: Select between High (8W), Medium (5W), and Low (1W) transmit power. Push maximum watts when you need to hit distant repeaters, or drop the power to conserve battery life.
-
🔊
Upgraded 1-Watt Speaker: A significant upgrade over older generations. The oversized 1-Watt internal speaker delivers crisp, booming audio that cuts through wind and background job-site noise.
-
🧤
Rugged & Ergonomic: Built to fit better in the hand. The solid commercial-style casing and larger keypad make it the ideal choice for hiking, camping, and cold-weather operations.
-
📡
Dual Band & Dual Watch: Cover both 2-meter (VHF) and 70-centimeter (UHF) bands. The dual-watch functionality allows you to actively monitor two frequencies simultaneously.
