BAOFENG T1 Mini Walkie Talkie Wireless FM Radio 2PCS

This is a great little communication tool for Event Mangement / Construction Site / Large Private Property for coordinate with Multiple parties. Following Pros, I Found So far after using the product for 2-3 Weeks

1.Due to its size pocket portability is absolute bliss.
2.Micro USB Charging opens a lot of potentials - Can be charged with any regular charger as well Normal Power Banks (Solar power Power Banks during Crysis period)
3.Volume is very loud so hearing is no problem in noisy environments.
4.Radio Reception quality between 2 sets is Great in Large Multi Storied Building - No problems with walls or Floor.
5.Basically, 1W Output power but you can lower it 0.5W.
6.Voice Prompt for Each Function.
7.20 User-defined Memory Channel (16 Pre-Configured but can be fully customizable using USB programming kit)

Suggestion

Now the shortcomings I found so far ( This is not entirely cons considering price point)

1.Battery Life is average but again due to the presence of Micro USB port, it is literally unlimited.
2.Without a PC - Self-programming is not possible due to lack of Keyboard.
3.Voice Prompt is very loud and can't be lower down using volume but the good thing is it can be turn off once user familiar with the Radio.
4.There is orange Backlight but it didn't change when you Transmit like higher end models - But I'm just nitpicking here.
5.Battery prong cable is little big and can't figure out how to route till now and thus lead backplate fitting problem - This is a real problem - Hope Baofeng can solve this.

При весе с аккумулятором около 120 грамм, носить ее сможет даже маленький ребенок, не особо напрягаясь. Заявлена пылевлагозащита по категории IP45,
Кнопка включения-выключения расположена между антенной и фонариком. На лицевой панели находятся многофункциональные кнопки вверх-вниз и четыре отдельные кнопки для включения фонарика, переключения в режим FM радио, кнопка настройки громкости и кнопка меню настроек, она же кнопка блокировки клавиатуры. Функции кнопок вверх-вниз зависят от того, что вы делаете в текущий момент. В обычном режиме они переключают каналы, в меню позволяют выбрать нужный пункт и значения настроек, регулируют громкость, сканируют частоты FM радио

Suggestion

ёмкость аккумулятора меньше заявленного, громкость.

Pro:
The quality of the hardware is pretty good für that amount of money. Sending and receiving was good. Anything needed was included. Features of These Radios where nice and more than somebody privat Needs... it is near amateur already. So enough room to play around as long you order the right cable to program These. Search for T1 cable and don't choose the suggested cable whcih was shown underneath productdescriptions!

Con:
VOX (Voice activated transmission) is absolutly not relaible. No matter what gain Level you choose. Sometimes it works with first word (when you are loud enough - really loud) sometimes it sends only after you spoken already some words (when you are loud enough - really loud). It Shows the same behaviour with and without attached headset/mic. changing mic didn't work (tried with a regular phone headset/mic).


i would buy it again - as long you don't want to use VOX it's a nice handset

I ordered it for the kids. It's so fantastic, they had much fun with it. :) At first I wondered how little the body, it's great for children from the age of 5-6.
The distance where it can be used well is about 4-500 meters, at longer distances it works but the voice is distorted or scattering.

I really love the idea of the flashlight. Children play commando with them, sneaking under blankets, using the flashlight. :) The radio is a good to have, it is broadband and I can receive more stations than with my purpose-built radio receiver.

I'd say the battery is OK, could be better as always. I didn't have problems with putting them into the case.

Thanks Gearbest!
