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. 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.
