Baofeng UV-5R Mini

Baofeng UV-5R Mini: Legendary Performance in a Pocket-Sized Package

Are you looking for a reliable two-way radio that won’t take up space in your backpack or on your tactical vest? The Baofeng UV-5R Mini is the modern successor to the legendary UV-5R radio—and it’s 28% smaller. Weighing just 200 grams, it offers a full 5 W of transmit power, a color display, and practical features such as USB-C charging and wireless programming from your phone via Bluetooth.

It’s the ideal choice for airsoft players, outdoor enthusiasts, event organizers, and as a backup radio for ham radio operators.

Key Features

• Wireless setup via Bluetooth: Forget about connecting cables to a PC. Using a free mobile app (e.g., Ola Radio for Android and iOS), you can set channels, frequencies, and functions directly from your phone.
• Charge Anywhere via USB-C: The built-in USB-C port on the battery (1600 mAh) lets you recharge the radio using a power bank, in your car, or with a phone charger. No bulky desktop charger is needed.
• Airband Monitoring: In addition to transmitting on VHF and UHF bands, you can tune in and listen to air traffic in the 108–136 MHz (AM) band.
• Instant Frequency Cloning (Channel Clone): This feature detects nearby transmissions, identifies the frequency—including sub-tones (CTCSS/DCS)—and saves it to memory with a single press.
• Dual PTT: On the side, you’ll find two separate transmit buttons for Channel A and Channel B. You can start talking immediately, without having to switch channels on the display.
