The UV-82 is the bigger, beefier cousin of BaoFeng's UV-5R line. It puts out up to 8 watts and ships with the NA-771 high-gain antenna, a longer whip that pulls in weaker signals than a stock antenna.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo push-to-talk buttons let you transmit on either displayed channel without flipping back and forth.

To transmit on the ham bands, the FCC requires an amateur radio license. The entry-level Technician license is one 35-question multiple-choice test. And in a real emergency, when life or property is on the line, FCC rules let anyone use any radio to call for help.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuestions? We've Got Answers.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow far can the UV-82 talk?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAverage range is 5-10 km (3-6 miles). Open ground and high spots push it farther. Hills, buildings and thick woods cut it down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it work when the cell network and power are down?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. It talks radio to radio: no towers, no internet, no service plan. Charge it from the wall or the included car charger and it's ready to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need two?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo reach your own people, yes. A radio needs someone on the other end. Most folks buy a pair: one at home, one in the truck or go-bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it talk to my family's FRS or GMRS walkie talkies?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt can listen to them. Transmitting on FRS and GMRS channels with this radio isn't FCC-approved outside a real emergency, so the simple move is a UV-82 for everyone in your group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it pick up weather reports?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Tune in NOAA weather broadcasts (162.400-162.550 MHz) or local FM news. It doesn't sound automatic weather alerts.
