  • Our take on the UV-5RM Plus 10W Multi-Band Radio

    The Baofeng UV-5RM Plus is a multi-band handheld ham radio rated at 10W output, an upgrade of the long-running UV-5R. It adds a one-key frequency copy that reads a nearby radio's frequency and CTCSS/DCS tone, USB-C charging from a wall socket, power bank, car charger or laptop, and NOAA weather band reception. It suits new and budget-minded hams, preppers and off-road or event users who want more power and easier charging than the UV-5R. Against pricier dual-band handhelds it gives up build quality and receiver filtering, and owners report the usual Baofeng quirks: a busy front end in dense RF areas and a manual that takes patience.

    What reviewers say

    • 4.6 / 5449 ratings

    Owners rate it highly, mostly for the extra power, USB-C charging and the frequency-copy feature over the older UV-5R. Complaints center on the fiddly menu, the manual and receiver performance in crowded RF environments.

    What people mention
    • Power outputPraisedOwners say the higher output reaches farther than the standard UV-5R.
    • USB-C chargingPraisedUsers like charging from a power bank or laptop instead of a dock.
    • Frequency copyPraisedThe one-key copy is called a fast way to grab a nearby radio's frequency and tones.
    • Menu and manualCriticisedReviewers find the menu fiddly and the manual too brief.
    • ReceiverMixedSome report interference and front-end overload in high-RF areas.
    • BuildMixedThe plastic body and stiff buttons feel less solid than pricier handhelds.

    About the UV-5RM Plus 10W Multi-Band Radio

    The Baofeng UV-5RM Plus is a 10-watt multi-band handheld radio. It receives FM, AM, VHF and UHF bands, and it transmits on amateur VHF and UHF frequencies. It stores 999 memory channels.

    Press and hold the scan button and hold the radio near the transmitter you want to identify. When that radio transmits, the UV-5RM Plus shows its frequency (±2.5 PPM) and its CTCSS or DCS tone. It shows NONE if no tone is present.

    A Type-C charging port lets you recharge from a wall socket, power bank, car charger or laptop. NOAA weather band scan and reception provide emergency alerts for hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and other hazards.

    Questions and answers

    How is the UV-5RM Plus different from the UV-5R?
    It adds higher 10W output, multi-band coverage, USB-C charging and one-key frequency copy. The UV-5R is dual-band with a lower output and a charging dock.
    Does it work on ham bands out of the box?
    It covers multiple bands including the 2m and 70cm ham bands. You still need a license to transmit on amateur frequencies.
    Can I charge it from a power bank?
    Yes. The USB-C port accepts a wall socket, power bank, car charger or laptop.
    Does it receive NOAA weather alerts?
    Yes. It scans and receives NOAA weather band broadcasts.
    Do I need a programming cable?
    The radio can be programmed by hand through the menu. A cable and software make loading many channels much faster.
    What is in the box?
    Typically the radio, battery, antenna, belt clip and charging cable. Check the listing for the exact bundle.
