Two-Pack Radio Kit
This kit supplies two UV-K5(8) handheld radios with 512K expansion, AM and FM reception and NOAA weather forecasts. USB-C charging removes the need for disposable cells. The package is aimed at outdoor groups, hikers and drivers who want a ready-to-use pair for coordination and emergency alerts.
Build Integration
Each radio ships with a 1600mAh battery, a US adapter charger dock, a belt clip, a lanyard and a headset so the units work straight from the box. The included 771 antennas and high-gain original antennas give a choice of fixed or bendable mounting. No extra cables or power packs are required to start operating.
Sustained Operation
Firmware updates are supported so the feature set can expand over time. The keyboard lock prevents accidental input during extended carry. Continuous USB-C connection is needed for charging while in use. The bendable high-gain antenna maintains signal penetration during prolonged outdoor sessions.

Questions about this item
How long can the 1600mAh battery last during continuous transmission?
Battery life depends on transmit power and duty cycle; the 1600mAh pack is rated for extended receive time and typical daily use.
Does the radio or charger dock produce noticeable heat or fan noise when left on all day?
The unit has no internal fan and runs cool; the USB-C dock may warm slightly during charging but stays silent.
What antenna connector does the 771 antenna use so I know if my existing coax will fit?
The 771 antenna plugs into the radio's SMA-Female jack; the included high-gain and 771 antennas both use that interface.
