CAN U TALK TO SOME ONE THAT HAS A UV-5RA

Both of these radios have frequency ranges that are compatible, so yes. Please be aware that you must have an amateur radio license before transmitting. You don't need a license to listen.
1805157
yes you can. You both have to be on the same frequency. Remember, When there is no repeater being used, your communicatio is line of sight. You also have to take in account buildings, trees and hills between you and the other person. FCC LICENSE REQUIRED to use transceiver..

They cover the same frequencies, so yeah, if both of you want to. This goes for any HT that handles the 2m/70cm bands.
1805159
Yes, provided you and the person that has the Uv5-ra has the same frequencies programmed in the radios (including ctcss tones if needed)Both radios have the same frequency ranges, so if its being used for business or public safety use they are both part 90 certified and can be used for your business channel pair or your agencies frequency, both radios are also narrow band compatible and are acceptable with the new business/public safety bandwidths that are needed for the latest operation rules.

Unless Baofeng has changed their antennas, this antenna (at least the one I received) is longer than the stock antenna on the UV-5R radio variants. I believe this is the same antenna however used on some of the other Baofeng models but I can't verify that as I own a UV-5RA.

Looking at a picture of the battery of the UV-B5, it looks to be of a different size/form factor. I would email or call their technical support and ask them directly to get an answer.

If it don't have BL-5 on it. Don't take a chance. Spend the extra dollar and get one with BL-5 on it. Then you know it will work. I think, all the Uv-5R's take the same battery.

A genuine cable (kenwood icon, etc.) will work I assume. The cheap Chinese cables will work as well , (suck as the ones found on amazon,) will work too. The issue with these is the drivers. If you buy one, (I own two,) you need do some research on line on how to install the driver. Once you get the driver installed for the cable the rest is simply programming the radio and writing the info. You also best to stay withthe uv-b5 series in my opinion, as the uv-5r series has several different firmware versions and that makes it a pain to use. The b5 writes very well. Inhave not used a uv-82. I hope this helped. YouTube also has some good videos that demonstrate how to install the proper driver. A genuine cable (kenwood icon, etc.) will work I assume.

Bill,I assume so. I have the UV5R a nice little mobile radio.What differences exist between yours and mine shouldnot prevent its installation.Make sure that your BNC is attached to quality coaxand that the length is tuned to low SWR and that the aerial is matched.A high SWR might kill the UV5RA.RegardsI assume so. I have the UV5R unit and what little differences exist they should not upset its installati

Per this site, yes, the audio and pinouts match up and should work just fine http://www.miklor.com/uv5r/

I bought one and it didn't fit my UV5R+. I had to modify and file the tabs to make it fit. After that, it worked fine.73!

Two of my friends have the UV-5R models and I tried their batteries with my unit. They are indeed different and will not fit.

Unmodified - no. Try this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ultra-High-Capacity-3-6A-Battery-for-BAOFENG-UV-5RA-/261163626874

I wouldnt get hung up on the details, the 5b seems like its a little bit more streamlines...and its blue sometimes. I have a uv5ra and it works great! I can hit repeaters all over with it, great range. I suggest upgrading to a 7 inch antenna, theres many of them around. Also the battery pack you can upgrade to the one on here that says its not compatible with the uv5ra if you shave off some tabs on it. Works great as well!

I have the Uv-5re plus. It fit perfectly. The lock was tight and had to use a screw driver to release it. Filed down the locking tab a little and took care of the problem.

My radio says BFB297. Read this, however:http://www.miklor.com/uv5r/UV5R-FWRelease.html

Did you buy the UV-5R radio. The reason I'm asking you is because those battery cases only fit in this model.I had to pull out the metal contact off the battery case in order to make it work. ;-(I never returned it because it was so cheap and it will cost me more if I ship it back. So I worked around to make it work.

Alfredo, the UV3R+ has the same antenna jack as the 5R, so this antenna will work for you.

Here is a link to show you what Radios have what Wattage outputs. I have the UV5R, 888, 8Plus. They are all programmed similarly but also have different uses.Here is the Link https://www.facebook.com/NETexasPreppers/photos/a.205764139582767.1073741837.205014389657742/398422600316919/?type=1&theate;r

The UV-5R is FCC Part 90 type accepted. Unless your license specifically states a 1watt max, you are ok to run higher power. Narrow band is a must. Spend another 8 bucks and by the programming cable. Then go to http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home and down load a program that works real well. Good luck, it's an amazing radio.
