Baofeng ar-152

[Enid_Puceflange]

I’m currently running a Baofeng uv-5r, and it’s never let me down plus it’s universally used throughout the Airsoft universe.

BUT, Having just spotted these, for maybe £50-£60 is it any good?

I believe it’s 10w as opposed to the 5w 5r

I don’t think I need more wattage, I’m just tempted with the mil-spec appearance (tart that I am)

 

Anyone running one?

I don’t have one but considered it same as you did - from a friend who does have one they don’t differ performance wise, but will give you the larger ‘152-style’ radio to stick in a pouch ??

[Enid_Puceflange]

Yeah,

After I posted, I watched a couple of reviews on it.

Seems to be the exact same as the uv-5r just in a Harris “style” outer but with a much larger capacity battery.

I suppose the good thing is that it is also compatible with all of my current comms accessories like ptt, antenna , headset etc

As and when I’ve got the spare cash I may consider getting a couple, but for now I’m happy with the performance of the UV5-Rs.

I have one with a spare battery as but never really use it with my loadout. Essentially they are just a normal Baofeng in a new suit! 

 

The size is samller than a PRC 152 but for looks they arent too bad

Here's a review on the radio from a chap I watch. It actually sounds quite decent if you don't mind the size:

"BOOF-WHANGGGGG"

 

I like his style

 

 

He embedded a couple of frames of text, I had to read what it said...

That is now the official accepted term.

Just ordered one from Ali Exp in their summer sale (along with a stack of other gubbins)

About £35 posted , which I felt was pretty decent compared to uk “sale” prices of £60

Should be here next week ?

Link? The best prices I'm seeing is about £40 for just the handset.

Scratch that, it applied a £4 coupon at checkout!
