I Replaced my 5W basic 5RM Baofeng with the 10W Plus
I bought this to replace my 5W Baofeng, the non-Plus version. I have tested both and the Plus version has a noticeable increase in range. I hit local repeaters with a much stronger signal with the Plus, while the 5W version either has a faint signal with lots of noise or it doesn't reach the repeater at all. The battery on the Plus is better as well. The interface for both Baofengs is the same as far as I can tell. Also, upgrading the antenna to a longer whip antenna makes a lot of difference and I would recommend doing that. For the slight cost increase I would suggest buying the Plus over the basic 5RM.

the radio is hard to program
I purchased the Baofeng uv-5rm for my husband as a christmas a gift. He's love's the radio but found it hard to program through the radio itself. The instructions weren't a great help either. It seems the only way to program the radio is with a programming cable which we are about to order. We hope this will help as my husband runs a volunteer fire canteen and we plan on ordering several more radios. We have several programmable radios in service from other companies and none were hard to program

Great radio.
First of all, you need to be a licensed ham radio operator to transmit on this radio. It has excellent power and reaches most of the repeaters in my area. If you know Baofeng, you know how to program this radio. Same programming interface, basically. Ability to get weather channels is a plus, especially when you are listening to the stormspotters during bad thunderstorms. Also can hear fm radio broadcasts. Power is not 10 watts, just under 8 watts. Reception is very clear and I was told my transmissions are good. Great radio for the price. Also looks good in the hand. Like a more expensive radio. I don't know how Baofeng does it but they keep making excellent radios for the price. I would recommend this radio to anyone wanting a bug out bag radio. I carry mine with me all the time because it is handy and very portable. Carry the spare battery and have longer time on air before needing a charge.
