The Baofeng UV-5G is the GMRS version of the classic UV-5R handheld, sold here as a four-radio family set with speaker mics and a programming cable. It covers all 30 GMRS channels, including the 8 repeater pairs on channels 23-30, and adds NOAA weather scanning. Two radios ship with the larger BL-5L 3800 mAh battery and two with the standard 1800 mAh pack, so run time varies across the set. It suits families and groups who want license-covered GMRS talk between vehicles, camps and trailheads, and it is cheaper and simpler than Part 90 commercial handhelds, though it lacks the ruggedness and clean front-end filtering of pricier GMRS radios.

Owners treat the UV-5G as a budget way to get a whole group onto GMRS, and most are satisfied with the range on simplex and through repeaters. Complaints center on the menu-driven programming, weak selectivity near strong transmitters, and the mixed battery sizes in the set.
This set includes four Baofeng UV-5X (UV-5G) handheld GMRS radios. The UV-5G is the GMRS version of the classic UV model. A GMRS license is required.
The radios are repeater capable, with 8 repeater pairs programmed in on channels 23 to 30. They have GMRS power levels and wide-band capable signal. Used with a GMRS repeater, their range is greatly extended. The radios can work with other GMRS units.
A tri-color LCD is easy to read, and most basic settings are reached through the menu and keypad. VOX allows hands-free operation. The NOAA feature scans for and receives weather reports from the channel. Advanced settings can be changed when the radio is connected to a computer.
