The Baofeng UV-5R[note 1] is a handheld radio transceiver manufactured by the Chinese manufacturer Baofeng. This model was the first dual band radio (VHF/UHF) to be successfully distributed by a Chinese brand.[citation needed] It is inexpensive and relatively simple to use (though tedious to program without computer software). Because of this it is used by radio amateurs, outdoorsmen and professional users worldwide, outputting about a 4 watt FM signal.[2][3] Due to Ofcom regulations, a variety of Baofeng radios ranging from UV-5R to the UV-21 are not able to transmit in the United Kingdom between 480 MHz and 520 MHz despite being advertised to transmit between 400 MHz and 520 MHz.
