For those wanting 1.25m as well, I suggest the UV-5X3 with new board, chips, IF filters, etc. 82X - discontinued, does 2m and 1.25m, although it is made for the Asian 1.25m band centered in the 240-250MHz range, meaning much lower output in the IARU region 2 222-225MHz frequency range.82C - Commercial models with additional options and Part 90 legal usage.UV-82 - baseline standard 5W model, still made and sold.What is the difference among the different UV82 models? The batteries among almost all 82 based radios should all be the same connectors.

I suspect the "fake makers" are just cranking up the outgoing power from 4-5W to something a little higher, but usually nowhere close to the full 8W of the official models.Ĥ. I have also tested several fake 8W models (BF-F9, UV5RTP) and they all come in between 4.1 and 6.3W, none of them come close to the full 8W, but the other peculiar aspect is almost all of the fakes only have two power settings.

I have personally tested over a dozen different official 8W radios, they all come in between 7.2 and 8.4W. I suspect the seller that the reviewer bought from had it mislabeled as 8W (possibly to charge more aka scam people, or just to sell more falsely advertising it).ģ. Otherwise, the UV-82, 82C, 82X, 82L are all 5W. I hear a lawsuit against the 2 other companies making and selling the 8W models is coming down the pipeline.Ģ. The US company BaofengTech has a contract with Baofeng corporate to be the only one using the custom boards used for the 8W models. The rest are all fakes, and are illegally made and sold. The BF-F8HP is the only other official 8W model based on the UV5R/BF-F8 cases. The UV-82HP (for the US) or 82HX (for Europe) are the only official 82 based 8W models. I am very familiar with the Baofeng line of radios.ġ.
