The UV-5RTP is 2 times the wattage. Great little radios.

I've used the UV-5R a fair bit. Got one in the glovebox in my car as a backup for my Yaesu VX-7R. For what you pay, the radio does alright.
The AA battery pack is handy, but use good high capacity batteries as the cheapo carbon-zinc AA's get ate real fast when transmitting on high power.
All the accessories like antennas and stuff can be found cheap on eBay.
awesome radios! have the one with the large battery pack.
I take it that there are videos on how to program them and such. I bought a couple and need to learn how to use them lol.
Been using the UV-5R for years, have a few UV-5Rs including a UV-5RA along with some Motorala GP-68's. This 5RA with extended battery and telephone style handset is my favorite, I use it to call in airstrikes regularly - lol
BTW: One tip would be to upgrade the stock antenna to a "real" Nagoya Na-701 antenna, makes a world of difference!
