BAOFENG UV-82, 8W - Black

The Baofeng UV-82 is a versatile handheld transceiver popular among ham radio users and paintball players thanks to its practical features and straightforward operation. The dual LCD display with multi-color backlight keeps key settings readable in low light, while 128 memory channels let you store your most-used channels/frequencies for quick access.

A standout feature is Dual Watch, allowing the UV-82 to listen to two independent frequencies at the same time—perfect if you need to keep track of a team channel and a command channel simultaneously. The radio also includes a dual PTT button, making it easy to transmit on either of the selected channels without digging through menus.

To make communication easier and cleaner, it supports:

• VOX – voice-activated transmit for hands-free use.

• CTCSS / DCS (50 / 104) – helps reduce unwanted traffic on shared frequencies.

• TOT (Time-Out Timer) – prevents one user from blocking the channel for too long.

• BCL (Busy Channel Lockout) – helps stop transmitting over an active channel.

For accessories, the UV-82 uses the Kenwood standard headset connector (2.5 + 3.5 mm), compatible with many earpieces and speaker-mics—great under helmets or for security-style comms. Power comes from a 1800 mAh rechargeable battery with low-battery indication, and the package includes a convenient desktop charger. There’s also a built-in LED flashlight.

Tip for manual frequency input:
To switch between Channel Mode and Frequency Mode, turn the radio off, then power on while holding MENU. Frequency Mode is used for manual frequency setting.

Warning: Radio use is regulated by local laws (bands, power limits, licensing). Always follow the rules valid in your country.
