I'm a licensed Extra-class ham with several Baofeng UV-5R and GT-5R radios that I've been satisfied with, so I figured these would be a good bet. Turns out I was right, with a few caveats: they came ready-to-go on US FRS channels 1-16 (other comments saying they came programmed for European PMR446 frequencies concerned me, but seem to have been a mix-up that's since been resolved). Audio is clear, transmit strength and reception are good, and they're extremely easy to use. The radios charge easily from the included USB cable (or could use any standard microUSB cable.) They have the typical K-type socket for programming and using headset/microphones. Programming is a cinch: you can use CHIRP or the GT-22 software provided by Baofeng on their website. Setting up tone or digital squelch codes and adjusting power levels in CHIRP and the GT-22 software is easy: just tell CHIRP the radio is a Baofeng 888S or a Retevis RT22 (they have essentially the same guts) and it'll work fine. A few things to be aware of: - The plastic is textured ABS, but still comes across as feeling a bit "cheap". The battery panel pops off with a spudger or flat screwdriver but isn't water-resistant at all, nor held on with screws. The belt clip is satisfactory, but a bit underwhelming. It'd be nice to have a semi-permanently attached belt clip rather than a clip-on one. The UV-5Rs felt a bit more robust in the hand. Still, they seem to be holding up well with the kids and scouts. - There's no key lock. The channel-select buttons are easy to press accidentally and get off-channel. The only feedback is an audio announcement of what channel number one is on, which is easy to miss. It'd be nice to have it where one would need to hold down both channel buttons for a few seconds to enable channel changes would be nice. - The out-of-the-box power levels are not legal. By default the radios come set to transmit at 2W on FRS channels 1-16. However, FCC regulations only allow FRS radios to transmit at 2W on channels 1-7 and 15-16 (and 17-22 for radios that support channels 17-22, which these do not). Channels 8-14 are required to be limited to 0.5 W on FRS but the GT-22 is set to transmit on 2W on those frequencies. This should be corrected at the factory, and users should ensure they set Tx Power to "low" for those channels. - Oddly, the radio is not locked to the specific, legal FRS channels and one can easily program it to transmit on frequencies on which it is not legally allowed to operate. It comes out of the box with its 16 channel slots programmed with FRS channels 1-16, but users can rearrange the channel order (e.g. Channel 1 on the radio corresponds to FRS channel 12 or something) if they wish for some reason. However, the radios also allow users to enter any frequency in the 446-447 MHz or 462-467.999 MHz range even though it is explicitly forbidden and illegal to transmit with this radio on the 446-447 MHz range and on any of the 462-467.999 MHz range except for the specific FRS frequencies allocated by the FCC. Be warned: you must not program your radio to operate on channels it is not allowed to use. The fact that the radio is programmable to use non-FRS frequencies appears to violate 47 CFR 95.587(a), which states "FRS transmitter types must not be capable of transmitting on any frequency or channel other than those listed in § 95.563.", where § 95.563 lists the 22 FRS frequencies. In short, the radios are compact, lightweight, powerful, and work well. Until Baofeng fixes the crucial issues above (i.e., default transmit power and ability to transmit on non-FRS frequencies), purchasers would do well to purchase a programming cable and use the GT-22 software or CHIRP to adjust the power levels and verify that they're using legal frequencies. Review: Decent and fun walkie talkies - These walkie-talkies are not going to change the world or win world wars. But they work great for $20-$25 price range, and work as advertised. Much better than the toy walkie-talkies that are about the same price range. Good clarity, easy to understand and use, even for my 9-year old son. Range will depend on geography/topography/buildings/hills/interference, of course. We use them a central-city environment with mostly closely-built two story homes in a mildly-hilly area, with lots of potential radio interference, none of which has affected us. The radios have caught a few blips of conversations from other radios, but nothing horrible: if it were horrible, we can just change the channel. I use them to keep in touch with my 9-year old son when he is out n the neighborhood with neighbor kids within a five-ten block radius. There is some static beyond a half mile, but we can still understand each other fine. He has not yet gone far enough to test or exceeded the maximum range. Perfect for our use in the neighborhood. The battery life is as advertised, if not longer. One charge suffices for the entire day. Battery life will vary with use, but I have gotten more than the 20-hour life on standby. They do emit an annoying "Battery Low" audible warning that repeats itself constantly whenever the battery gets low (including in the middle of the night) (in an odd non-English speaking accent, to boot). But the warning only happens when turned "on." I have not tried re-programming them, which requires additional equipment I do not have. No need to do so for us. ## Features - [Handsfree FRS Radio] Press to talk easily on programmed FRS channels right out of box with each other. Slim design for the Baofeng walkie talkies is perfect for business use. Handy to keep around for quick use even for beginners and kids. Part 95 certified FCC ID: 2AJGM-BFR5. - [Long Service Life] 1500mAh battery in this mini walkie talkies. Allow up to 40 working hours after about 3h charged. No screws are needed -- you can fast clip the Baofeng GT-22 with holster on your belt. - [USB Y-charging Cable] More convenient than recharging through the mini USB port. Baofeng GT-22 walkie talkies could be easily recharged with a power bank, car charger, and Laptop whenever you need to work outside. Allows recharging two radios at a time. - [Keep All Staff "In the know"] Never worry about the transmission when they’re all over the property and multiple buildings. With the short high-gain antenna, the Baofeng walkie talkies supports clearly talking within 4 miles. - [Active VOX Manually] ①Press side key and PTT together. ②Turn on the radio, you would hear "VOX on". VOX function allows real hands-free operation in any noisy environment. With CTCSS and DCS private codes. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07ZH7Q1ZS | | Additional Features | Long Range | | Battery Average Life | 40 Hours | | Best Sellers Rank | #835 in Portable FRS Two-Way Radios | | Brand | BAOFENG | | Built-In Media | 2 GT-22 portable radios, 2 rechargeable batteries, 2 unique belt clips, 2 earpieces, 2 hand straps, 1 2-in-1 USB charger cable, 1 dual port USB charger adapter, 1 English user manual | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Earpieces, Hand Straps | | Connectivity Protocol | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 652 Reviews | | Frequency Range | FRS | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04897093822765 | | Manufacturer | BAOFENG | | Mfr Part Number | EBQYW0Y001 | | Model Number | GT-22 | | Number of Batteries | 2 Lithium Ion batteries required. | | Number of Channels | 16 | | Special Feature | Long Range | | Talking Range Maximum | 3 Mile | | Tuner Type | UHF | | UPC | 811820023700 | | Unit Count | 4.0 Count | | Voltage | 3.7 Volts | | Warranty Description | 18 Months Warranty | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** BAOFENG - **Color:** Black - **Frequency Range:** FRS - **Number of Batteries:** 2 Lithium Ion batteries required. - **Number of Channels:** 16 - **Special Feature:** Long Range - **Talking Range Maximum:** 3 Mile - **Voltage:** 3.7 Volts - **Water Resistance Level:** Not Water Resistant ## Images ![GT-22 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Ue22pab1L.jpg) ![GT-22 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gAwYjfg8L.jpg) ![GT-22 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71XI2XdTMSL.jpg) ![GT-22 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UnLiwjSJL.jpg) ![GT-22 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719FVv2ZKhL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How hard would it be to re-program 100 to be license free?** A: to my knowledge and i could be wrong...any radios being operated in the FRS frequency range have to be FCC certified, non-programmable, permanent ptt-busy channel lock out, as we all permanent transmitting powers (cannot modify settings to output more than half watt on FRS freq. and 2watts on GMRS freq.) If it is programmed with ANY GMRS frequencies, it needs a GMRS license to operate, (PARTS 95 certified device must be used with this license), using a call sign is required. SO, short answer is, if you can reprogram it, it cannot legally be used on FRS or GMRS frequencies. The UV-5 cannot legally transmit on FRS/GMRS frequencies either, and a HAM license does not license you to operate on GMRS frequencies. Again, i could be wrong. but i'v been looking deeply into these matters, just got my GMRS license, MIDLAND PARTS 95 cert radios on their way, and working on getting my HAM technician's license, most of it seems to be, "don't do this/do this" sort of stuff. **Q: Will baofeng uv-5r programing cable work to program them with chirp?** A: Yes, UV-5R programming cable is compatible with GT-22. You can program it with CHIRP. Also, Radioddity FTDI cable is recommended. **Q: is the gt-22 better than the bf-r5 ?** A: The GT-22 works great for its intended purpose. Not familiar with the other model **Q: How many miles does it get?** A: It all depends on terrain. If you are using the .5 watt setting and talking from handheld radio to handheld radio I get about 1/2 mile in suburban areas. 2 watts moves that to about a mile. If you have good line of sight you can reach out very far. I have used this radio to reach into another radio that was 18 miles away but that second radio was at 2200 feet on a mountain. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent FRS radios, easy to program, and easy to use *by P***. on April 21, 2022* I wanted some inexpensive, simple FRS radios for use with my family when doing outdoor activities, and with the kids' scout group.

No need to do so for us. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Also buy a programming cable, invest some time *by S***D on January 11, 2020* These radios cannot be used legally as they come out of the box. (Possibly legal only with a HAM technician license.) You have to program these, so get a decent programming cable (one with the FTDI works great), and use your research and engineering skills. It is possible to program these to 2 Watt FRS frequencies. (Use some "privacy" codes if you don't want to listen to other people's conversations, but don't expect actual privacy.) If you program these for a business (with the proper license for that), these are quite nice to use: size, sound, easy to recharge with a USB phone charger. (USB-C would have been nicer, instead of micro-USB.) It would have been nice to be able to program these with a USB cable, without the extra expense/hassle of another cable. Despite these issues, these are good radios. Even considering the unexpected extra expense for a programming cable. Update, after a few years of very occasional use: both batteries are visibly swollen, pushing out through the back cover. These need to be recycled in order to avoid explosion and fire. ## Frequently Bought Together - BAOFENG GT-22 Walkie Talkies for Adults Rechargeable, Long Range Two Way Radios with 1500mAh Battery, Portable Handheld VOX Handsfree with Earpieces, Holsters (2 Pack) - Radioddity RD-201 Programming Cable PL2303 Chip, Compatible with BaoFeng UV-5R BF888S BF-F8HP UV-5RX3 GM-30 Kenwood TYT Two Way Radio, Support Win10 Win7 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/168193439-gt-22](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/168193439-gt-22) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
