Is this the exact same antenna the Baofeng BF-F8HP comes with? If so they are great. I would like to buy them for my other two UV-5RA. Thanks!

I keep breaking the miniature disc capacitor solder joint inside the antenna , one drop is all it takes and NO signal .I've gone through 4 now...

As far as frequency coverage, the expert power antenna is superior to the stock antenna that comes with the radio. I use this antenna with my UV-5R and I'm very happy with its performance. As long as your 5R+ has the same SMA male antenna jack as my UV-5R, you're good to go. Here is a link to SWR contours of the expert power 14.5 and the stock antenna. http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B008Y2SPE4/ref=cm_cr_dp_cust_img_see_all_txt I hope that helps.

Robert; it is exactly as pictured here! These adapters work great, I purchased several of them for my Baofeng UV5R radios. It makes connections to coax using a BNC connector so much easier, and it is easier on the radios SMA fitting.

I have no personal experience with either of those models, but Baofeng hasn't changed this since the UV-2, so I would guess it would be fine. In any case, it's not a big investment...

I'd recommend going to Amazon.com, Ebay, googol, etc., and searching for baofeng uv5 re+ batteries. Personally, I use Amazon, but others have different preferences.

I cannot answer you on this question, when I bought my boat, it came with the radio/antennaand broke my antenna, I bought a new antenna and have to route the cable and the whole works. No I cannot help on this issue for I just want the same antenna on my boat with same model. Good luck, Charlie

Yes. I purchased this for a Baofeng BF-F8+ and it is an excellent upgrade. The stock antenna is worthless on the Baofeng.

Knocks here. I have this antenna on all my barf ends and are the stock antenna for the uv82. They work the others only marginally on the 70cm.440 freqs. But not as good as theThese. I have 6 of them and compare with a diamond rho which is twice as long. Buy it. It is a good buy. Kc4cqs. Extra class license. THE FI IS SUPPLIED WITH THE SAME ANT. AS THE USA SERIES. TRY A UV8. U WOULD LIKE IT

I wouldnt get hung up on the details, the 5b seems like its a little bit more streamlines...and its blue sometimes. I have a uv5ra and it works great! I can hit repeaters all over with it, great range. I suggest upgrading to a 7 inch antenna, theres many of them around. Also the battery pack you can upgrade to the one on here that says its not compatible with the uv5ra if you shave off some tabs on it. Works great as well!

This antenna works just fine, I bought 2 of them (1 for each of my Baofeng UV-82 dual band HT's) they were a vast improvement over the stock antenna's that came with the radios. I have no complaints they are good antennas.

My UV-5R+ (purchased Dec 2012) is BFB293. I've seen discussion of firmware through BFB297, although I'm not sure if that is for the 5R+, the 5R, or what. I've also heard that others that have purchased since I have have received radios with older firmware, so I don't know that you will get the most, or even more recent firmware.

I had three of the BF-F8+ radios; each had their own problem. One had the issue you asked about, sometimes you can cut away excess plastic around the base of the male part of plug to make it make a better connect. All of these Baofengs have quality control problems or issues that are written up on WWW .I now have the UV82L and it has CPU chip problems.

Dear Buyer ,Please note that there is no UV5RAX+ model of Baofeng .Its just named by some internet store , I guess yours should be UV5RABy the way , Its fit for all Baofeng UV5R Series , including UV5RA.Best regards.

There is no difference between the UV-82 and the UV-82L. After I contacted Baofeng directly and asked them about it, they told me that the UV-82L has been re-labled by a Re-seller who is trying to charge more money for the same radio. Saying it is a New and Upgraded unit. It is not. They also do not make a 3400 ma battery. The batteries are 1800ma batteries re-labeled to 3400ma so the greedy vendor can charge more for them. Buyer beware. The Radio is a good unit and works fine. it is an upgrade over the UV-5r , louder audio, better antenna, and a full 5 watts of power, so if you find one at a good price go ahead and buy it. Just remember that the labels are misleading.
