BAOFENG UV-5R Mini 2-Pack Overview
Three Ways to Set Up
Set channels from the compatible mobile app when you are away from a computer, use the full keypad for direct field edits, or connect through an optional K-style programming cable for CHIRP workflows. USB-C charging cables are for power only.
Power Choices for Real Use
Select 5W or 2W output based on your environment and communication plan. Low power can help conserve battery during nearby communication, while high power supports more demanding terrain when used legally by licensed operators.
Built for Learning, Not Guessing
The UV-5R Mini gives new and experienced ham users a clearer path to setup: VFO/MR switching, editable channel names, CTCSS/DCS tones, dual watch, scan, flashlight, alarm, and up to 999 memory channels.
Know the Kit Before You Go
Each 2-pack includes the radios and carry-ready accessories for charging, listening, and basic use. For CHIRP programming, use a compatible K-style programming cable sold separately. Keep the radios dry and use them in fair-weather outdoor conditions.
Is USB-C for programming?
No. USB-C is for charging only. Use the app for wireless programming or an optional K-style cable for CHIRP.
Do I need a license?
Yes. This is an amateur radio. Transmit only on frequencies you are authorized to use.
Is it waterproof?
No waterproof rating is claimed. Keep the radio dry and do not charge it when wet.
Why does battery life vary?
Runtime depends on power level, scanning, screen use, temperature, and transmit time.
Are long antennas always better?
Not always. Performance depends on frequency, location, setup, and antenna installation.
