The BaoFeng BF-F8HP

High power at an affordable price! Feel free to take your radio with you anywhere you go! No other radio can compare against our capabilities, affordability, and concierge service!

The BF-F8HP Adds More than Just 8 Watt Power Output

The Next Generation UV-5R

The BF-F8HP is a dual band handheld radio that improves on the UV-5R with more transmit power based on a new generation chipset - along with new concierge service.

Beyond the 3 Power Levels (1, 4, 8 watt) it also includes: a new 2000mAh Battery, an in-depth user guide, concierge support, and the High Gain V-85 Antenna. All while still maintaining full backward accessory compatibility with all prior UV-5R accessories.

The BF-F8HP has the latest N5R-340A firmware not available on any other model.

30% Larger Battery

The BF-F8HP includes a new battery pack that still provides a long lasting radio experience; even while using high power.

Average Battery Life:

UV-5R High (4W): 18 Hours.

BF-F8HP High (8W): 20 Hours.

BF-F8HP Mid (5W): 24 Hours.

The large battery gives you peace of mind to use the built-In flashlight or even the built in FM radio - and still have the power to communicate throughout the day without recharging.

In Depth Documentation and Concierge Support

The BF-F8HP was designed in the USA and because not everyone is a radio-expert we really wanted to focus on providing an easier user experience! That starts with the new in-depth manual that guides you through the capabilities and customization of the BF-F8HP. On top of that the BF-F8HP also includes exclusive concierge customer help and warranty support. This concierge service is only available on select BaoFeng models such as the BF-F8HP.

    Great starter!
    First thing, remembered my uncle from Cal that chatted with his friends in Co. Was cool and I was a kid.40 yrs later decided to give this a go remembered him saying if it gets bad learn this.There are tons of help videos that get you going. The way to communicate if it hits the fan folks. Going to look for local operators or clubs and go from there. Ham General license and GMRC. Looking forward to this.

    This is a very cheap walkie talkie, and you get what you pay for. Its for bug out bags and emergencies and for adventure activities. It also requires a licence in the UK. So it pays to check against the exact item that arrives. Check packaging, battery, Firmware, model S/N, and labels as well as any design features. The shipper responds very fast to any issues, so 5* for service and understanding that you just don't take risks with equipment that can get you a £5,000 fine from OFCOM if it malfunctions.
    Mine shipped with a 1800mAh battery, which seller dealt with. Note also grille and fascia and display were not same as UK/EU model. Again, seller dealt with.
