Baofeng BF-F8HP Handheld Transceiver #
The Baofeng BF-F8HP offers more power and a better battery than the Baofeng UV-5R, making it an excellent preparedness radio.
“This radio has amazing performance, but requires a ham operator’s license to be used legally.” 1
“This radio can listen to: VHF and UHF Ham frequencies and FM, NOAA, GMRS and FRS without a license. All transmissions (broadcasts) require an FCC license. Transmitting HAM or GMRS radio without a license is a federal offense, so don’t skip getting your license(s). Note, this handheld does not support 28/29 MHz CB (citizen band) radio or MURS.” 2
