Will this work with BaoFeng UV-82X? The BaoFeng UV-82X is listed as 144/220 but I cant seem to find another antenna with those two bands.

the 771 does 144/ 430 t0 445 very well with as high as 1.6 to one swr and as low as 1.15 but is real bad on 220. To test we put an sma in a sheet of aluminum three feet in diameter and ran swr tests with a network analyzer, the 220 looked like an open circuit. I was afraid to try it on my yeasu on 220 but for 2 M and 70 cm it has gain and works the best on my hand held radios so far that I have tried..

The antenna should work on the 2 meter band but don't try to use it on 220. I wasn't impressed with this antenna on 2 meters but it might be ok on 440. MFJ has one that will work on all 3 bands. The model number is, MFJ-1718S. The antenna can be viewed at: http://www.mfjenterprises.com/Product.php?productid=MFJ-1718S. Not many guys run the 220 Mhz band since the FCC wanted to give it away so they shied away from it and I suspect that's why it's not very popular. 73s Dennis

I have that cable and it works well with the Baofeng software but the right driver was a problem, a friend of mine that is tuned into to this set it up for me, as I can tell that is going to be the biggest problem.

Sorry I have only used this on the UV-5R so I can't say if it will work for the UV-82.

With the SMA Female To BNC Female Convert Adaptor For Any Two Way Radio Like BaoFeng UV-5R FD-880 adapter sold on amazon you can then use BNC type antennas like the diamond RH77CA which 4 times the gain of the standard antenna is it also double the length I purchased one from DX engineering at http://www.dxengineering.com/

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.

Hi, The antenna should come pre-tuned for the 11 meter band (cb channels 1 - 40) It will work with Ham bands (10, 12, 15 & 17 meters) if you use a tuner. Should work with your older cb radio just fine without tuning, 73 & Happy DXing!

richard is right, wavelength is key, if the antenna happens to be mathematically close to to the correct wavelength you're trying to pick up, you may be in luck...the only way to know is to try it out.

I never compared any models to this antenna. I did my research and this one came out on top. After I installed it, it proved my research correct.

I'm not sure on the Plus if it fits, it should, I just have the uv-5r. My advice would be try it and if it doesn't fit return it. I initially bought the Baofeng for a emergency portable, I live in a hurricane zone and I work fire rescue so for us it's a great backup to our secure com system since our Hammies are a huge help when our multi million dollar system fails.

Any programming cable for the UV-5R will work just fine on the UV-82. I bought this one a while ago and it works great: Baofeng USB Programming Cable for Baofeng Two way Radio UV-5R, BF-888S,BF-F8+ With Driver CD

No, those departments still in the VHF or UHF ranges still require Part 90 certification which the UV-82C has, but none of the other Baofeng models have. This 82X does not have that Part 90 certification.

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.

I never been on 440 until I bought my Baofeng radio. I used the dual band antenna I bought, and the magmount dual band. Both work great, able to get into a 440 machine over the 20-30 mile trip, into the machine. Not sure if this is the mag mount your asking about, or the other antenna. The other antenna works better then the original antenna that came with it.

I don't know. I have a Baofeng UV5R in mine w/an adapter cable. It works with or without the antenna on.

The baofeng uvf82 can be programed to work with the BF-888s radios but the 82s are more advanced over the 8888s. The 82 will not work digital . The 82x will work on the 220 MHz band.

It is odd. That antenna falls outside the Amateur bands for the 220 MHZ part of the spectrum. You'll find in operation the radio works fine on 2 meters, but not well at all on 220. There's nothing wrong with the radio. Just get yourself a replacement antenna. In fact get yourself a tri-band antenna. I know someone who did and it has worked just fine. This is a case of Baofeng not giving you a good stock antenna again. Try a Jet Stream or Comet antenna. Good luck!!!
