Baofeng UV-5R: Performance

First some good news.. no spurious transmissions on the harmonic (unlike the UV-3R):
"Looking at a scope there is no unwanted 2nd harmonic on 145 Mhz" Jaap (PD0JDG )
And some notes on the power output:
"I measured mine with a Welz wattmeter and a 50 ohm dummy load. I get a little more than 5 watts on both 2 and 440." Brent (WB4SPA) 
"I measured power output with digital swr/pwr meter. Maximum Power output is 4watts on both vhf and uhf. I got swr of antenna suppleid with uv5r as, 1;1.5 on 143.000mhz vhf and 1:1.5 on 475.000mhz uhf. And on all other freq swr is more than 2." Puranik (VU3KOD)
And Steve (WB8GRS) has some squelch, sensitivity, and power output measurements.
