I did, and it was a pain to get working (although I did, but heh. I'll say this about the programing cable though: Purchase a FTDI cable, not a cheap knock-off. It's interface may look a bit confusing at first glance, but after you do program once or twice, it's a piece of cake. As for programing, There's two ways to program manually and via software.įor programing with software, CHIRP is the go-to choice for programing the UV-82HP.

I keep it in my back pack, in case I need to reference it for manual programing in the field.

Most importantly, it comes with a very well written (read not chi-english) user manual. Of course it comes with a desktop charger, the belt clip, lanyard, and a dual PTT headset. This said, while in the car, I do hook it up to a Tram 1185, with flawless results. I was able to use repeaters normally just out of range with the 5R, even using 5 watts, not the maximum of 7. Speaking of antenna, this comes with a much improved antenna over the UV-5R. As an added bonus, features previously only available on the UV-82c made their way to the 82HP, such as locking (via software) the VFO/MR, or frequency mode, switching, and disabling the dual PTT - something that I'm a big fan of, especially when using a single PTT hand mic.Īs with other Baofengs, the UV-82HP comes with what you expect the FM radio receiver, flashlight, alarm mode, and removable antenna. The higher power, of course, is probably the attraction point of this radio. The UV-82HP is a dual band (2m & 70cm) that has three power (1, 5 & 7 watt) levels. More on that in later in the post, but first let's walk through the features. Having a black UV-82 already, most the features were familiar to me, but was in for some nice surprises when programing it via CHIRP. A little over two weeks ago, I received a Baofeng UV-82HP from in “Fire red” color.
