BAOFENG MINI-5 is a compact dual-band ham radio designed for operators who want full control in a smaller handheld. MINI-5 transmits on VHF 144-148 MHz and UHF 420-450 MHz at 5W or 2W, while receiving VHF, UHF, FM radio, airband, and NOAA weather channels. The 1.44-inch TFT color screen, full keypad, dual display, dual watch, and dual PTT make it easy to monitor and manage two working lines.

Store up to 999 channel groups, edit channel information directly on the radio, or use the BT app on iOS and Android for wireless programming. Frequency Search helps identify nearby transmissions and their CTCSS/DCS tones for faster channel setup. Reverse Frequency, VOX, a flashlight, stopwatch, alarms, and an assignable side key round out its feature set. Compact and versatile, MINI-5 puts essential ham radio controls and functions within easy reach, whether you're at home or on the go.
　

One Key Frequency Copy:

Scan a nearby analog signal to capture its frequency and CTCSS/DCS tones, then save the settings directly to a channel for faster team setup.

TX/RX Frequency Reverse:

Swap the transmit and receive frequencies on a repeater channel with one press for quick reverse-frequency checks and convenient repeater monitoring.

Daul PTT:

Transmit directly on Channel A or Channel B without switching the active display, making dual-frequency communication faster and more convenient.
