Avantalk UV-K5(8) 2 in 1 accessory with 18.89in tactical antenna

Two-way radio kit for outdoor use

The Avantalk UV-K5(8) is a two-way radio kit built for self-driving trips, mountaineering and other outdoor activities. It combines long-range communication with AM reception, FM radio and NOAA weather forecasts in a single handheld unit. The intuitive keypad includes a keyboard lock to prevent accidental changes during use. Firmware updates are supported so the feature set can expand over time.

200 channels and 1600 mAh battery capacity

The radio offers 200 channels plus 10 NOAA weather channels and cross-band intercom capability. A 1600 mAh battery provides long standby time, while the 5 W transmitting power and 1.5 A emission current deliver extended range. Audio output is rated at 0.5 W with 10 % distortion. The kit includes a 48 cm tactical antenna alongside the original high-gain antenna for flexible signal options. Operating temperature spans from -20 to 60 degrees.

Replaces separate weather radio

This kit consolidates a weather-alert receiver, FM broadcast radio and two-way communicator into one device, removing the need to carry multiple single-purpose units. The USB-C and charger-base charging options suit users who can recharge regularly, while the included speaker microphone, headset and programming cable cover most accessory needs. Buyers who require operation without any charging infrastructure or who need more than 200 memory channels should consider other solutions.
