Product Features

Dual-Band VHF and UHF Operation

The Baofeng UV-82 supports VHF and UHF frequency ranges, allowing users to communicate across compatible channels and networks. Typical UV-82 specifications cover approximately 136-174 MHz and 400-520 MHz, although frequency availability can vary by market and model version.

Dual-Channel Display and Monitoring

The radio can display two channels or frequencies simultaneously and provides dual-watch functionality, making it convenient for monitoring two communication channels.

Dual Push-to-Talk Controls

The UV-82 features separate PTT controls for the upper and lower displayed channels. This allows users to select which of the two monitored channels they want to transmit on without repeatedly switching between channels.

128 Memory Channels

Up to 128 programmable memory channels can be stored, allowing frequently used frequencies and communication settings to be saved for quick access.

VOX Hands-Free Communication

The built-in VOX function allows voice-activated transmission without pressing the PTT button. Multiple VOX sensitivity levels can be selected to suit different operating environments.

Emergency Alarm

An emergency alarm function provides an additional alert feature for situations where the user needs to attract attention or signal an emergency.

FM Radio

The UV-82 includes an FM broadcast radio function covering approximately 65-108 MHz, allowing the device to receive compatible FM broadcasts when not being used for two-way communication.

Channel Scanning

The scanning function allows the radio to monitor programmed channels for active transmissions, helping users identify communication activity without manually checking each channel.

Programmable Operating Features

The radio supports programmable channel settings, frequency steps, transmit power selection, timeout timer, keypad lock, battery-saving mode, low-battery alert, and other functions that can be configured according to the user’s requirements.

Rechargeable Battery

The UV-82 uses a removable rechargeable battery designed to provide portable operation without requiring a constant external power source.

Compact Handheld Design

The handheld form factor makes the UV-82 easy to carry and operate in field environments. Its larger rubberized controls and separate PTT buttons are designed for convenient operation compared with smaller handheld radio designs.
