Therefore operating (transmitting) on a frequency outside the antenna’s design parameters will produce poor results. Antennas are designed for specific frequencies or range of frequencies. Your Baofeng antenna upgrade choice depends on what frequencies where you intend to operate. Depends On Which Bands You Intend To Use For Communications: But to an extent I do have to dip into it. Okay, enough already! What about the best antenna for the Baofeng UV-5R (or BF-F8HP)? So I wanted to share with you my recommendation for a BaoFeng antenna upgrade that will perform better on your radio. I too have several sets (among other brands). With that said, there are a ton of these BaoFeng radios out there.
#Using rumlogng with beofeng update#
See Update Below regarding transmit restrictions on new UV-5R radios (presently, new BF-F8HP radios appear not to be affected – but it could be remaining old inventory – not sure). No technical restrictions to transmit on any frequency of the radio’s capabilities.

Easy to program with free ‘CHIRP’ software.
