BAOFENGHam Radio Handheld Long Range Rechargeable Type-C 2600mAh Walkie Talkies for Adults 5RM K5 Two Way Radio with Earpiece,NOAA Weather Receiver,Copy Frequency for Hunting Survival Gear

I'm not sure if it was added in a recent Chirp update or something, but I just programmed this radio successfully using Baofeng K6 as the model in Chirp. The NA-K61 is based on the K6, so it stands to reason they are similar hardware, etc. I just copied over all of my normal channels (without having to do it one at a time manually in CPS), and will be testing it out over the coming week to ensure stability, etc. This makes me pretty happy as despite the fact that I LOVE how this radio feels, I found I used it less as programming in memories 1 line at a time is a pain, so I never programmed in my complete channel list, etc. Solid radio for the price, and much better than UV-5R, especially the HT's mic quality.

For the low price, this is a great radio! Baofeng has a programming software on the website, however it isn't identified as K61 but it works. The software requires each frequency to be entered one by one, it does work however. It puts out 7.5 watts on 2 meters, and 5 watts on 70cm and 4 watts on 1.75 meters, but the SWR is 2.2:1 on 1.75 meters with the supplied long antenna, with an antenna made for 1.75 meters it puts out 7 watts and 8 watts on 2 meters. The included long antenna 771 in not a triband antenna. It's a great radio for the money.

Very hard to understand & wish the instructions were words was big enough to understand. Only was able to get the weather channel but does say I could get local police & airports…still can’t figure that out yet!Sadly won’t recommend this item.

what a fun little radioArrived on time and a pleasant suprise when i turned it onMany of the features of my other raadios that I enjoyDefinitely a keeperI wish I had ordered a couple more at the low priceHighly reccomended!

This is a great radio for the price, it comes with two antennas and they provide amazing coverage. All in all, it's a great beginner HAM radio, the only downside is the fact that it's not CHIRP compatible, however I hear that it can still be programmed using the Baofeng software.

Dont hesitate buy its amazing

PROS:Bright display, receives pretty well, battery life is great & has easy USB-C charging direct to battery.CONS:Speaker is lousy. Radio housing squeaks when squeezing the bottom on one side. When you push-to-talk it interferes with any FM station of nearby radios.En Summa: I would not buy this radio again. And not even sure I would gift or resell the one I'd purchased. And it has scared me away from wanting to purchase their K61 Pro model which looks very similar.

Bought two of these ham radios. Great price, and very happy with the quality!
