  • Our take on the UV-28 Plus 10W Tri-band Radio

    The Baofeng UV-28 Plus is a tri-band handheld radio with 10W transmit power, dual-band transmission and multi-band reception that includes AM, NOAA weather and airband. It adds features rare at this level: a 1.77-inch color screen, Bluetooth programming through an app, built-in GPS for location sharing and requests, and USB-C charging from a 2200mAh battery. It carries 1000 channels across 10 zones, one-key frequency copy and DTMF dialing. It suits hobbyists and light professional users who want GPS and app setup without paying for a premium brand, though it is a bigger, more complex radio than a simple two-way walkie-talkie.

    About the UV-28 Plus 10W Tri-band Radio

    The Baofeng UV-28 Plus is a 10W tri-band handheld radio. It transmits on three bands and receives FM, AM, NOAA and Airband. It has a 1.77-inch TFT color screen that shows frequency, channel information and settings.

    It has 1000 channels organized into 10 zones. One-key frequency copy saves a frequency and its CTCSS/DCS codes from another radio. DTMF manual dialing is supported. The programmable SK2 side key gives quick access to FM, search, scan and VOX functions.

    It can be programmed over Bluetooth with the app, so no cable is needed. A 2200mAh battery powers it, and it charges over USB-C.
