Baofeng UV-XR radio

Buy the Baofeng UV-XR rugged radio for extreme conditions and reliable communication.

Provide yourself with reliable communication where other radios fail. Baofeng UV-XR is a fundamentally new approach to the design of portable radios, combining a shock-resistant housing and full moisture protection. The model is an improved version of the popular Baofeng UV-9R and BF-A58, having received an updated ergonomic body and reinforced construction. Internal radio components are fixed to an aluminum chassis for added rigidity and impact resistance. It is an ideal choice for hunting, fishing, hiking, search and rescue and outdoor activities in any weather.

• Full protection against water and dust IP67. The case can withstand immersion in water to a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes.

• Impact resistant design. Durable plastic and aluminum chassis reliably protect the insides during falls.

• Increased transmitter power. Up to 8 W (according to the manufacturer) and 5 W according to test results for reliable communication over long distances.

• Capacious battery. The 7.4 V lithium-ion battery ensures long battery life.

• Advanced functionality. 128 memory channels, FM radio, built-in flashlight, CTCSS/DCS, VOX and PC programming.

Operating principle and design features

The Baofeng UV-XR radio operates in two popular bands, VHF (136-174 MHz) and UHF (400-520 MHz), providing flexibility in frequency selection. The device is built on a reliable element base and is distinguished by well-thought-out ergonomics. The volume control is protected by special plastic beads from accidental rotation, and the control buttons, including PTT, have a clear tactile response. To quickly switch power, a combination with the hash button is available, and channel scanning is launched by holding the star button.

The design of the radio station is oriented to work in difficult conditions. The thickened body made of rough, durable plastic fits securely in the hand and does not slip. All connectors are protected from moisture, however, please note that this model uses a non-standard headset connector (compatible with Motorola accessories), and standard Kenwood headsets will not work. When using third-party antennas, such as the popular Nagoya 771, the antenna connector may require minor modifications due to plastic buildup around the socket.

Technical characteristics and functionality

The radio station supports programming from a PC via a special cable and CHIRP software, which allows you to flexibly configure channels, subtones and other parameters. The package includes the radio itself, battery, antenna, desktop charger, belt clip and strap.
