Only 5,000 of these exist. This is the Baofeng UV-5R 25th Anniversary Edition, and it’s more than just a transparent shell. While other reviewers just show the box, we’re doing a deep dive into the USB-C battery, the upgraded antenna, and the one thing everyone is afraid to test: the spectral purity. Is this limited edition Baofeng actually better, or just a collector’s item?

ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
The Baofeng UV-5R has sold over 40 million units since 2011. To celebrate 25 years of Baofeng Electronics, they released this limited "Return to Roots" set. Unlike the standard UV-5R, this kit includes a custom hardshell carrying case, a commemorative metal pin with Morse Code, and a high-gain transparent antenna.
But the real question for Ham Radio operators is the performance. Is it the same classic hardware in a new skin? We also look at the USB-C charging capability built directly into the battery—a feature that finally makes the UV-5R field-ready without a bulky charging cradle.
