Baofeng UV-5R: Ronson UV-8R

Despite a box that looks like it says 7W in the video and on the 409Shop listing, the specs for the Ronson UV-8R say it is 5W. The HT is $56 USD. Also, I noticed the description calls it a UV-5R as the Item Number.

  1. Baofeng, Wacom, Ronson, all the same. A bit silly if you ask me.

    The 7 Watts mentioned on the box can only be achieved if you add up the maximum output on VHF (4 Watts) and UHF (3 Watts). ;)
