Good accessories for the Baofeng and etc.

[FoxMcCloud]

While I use mostly Motos now, I still like to bust out my UV-5R when I'm doing something where it would be easy to break the radio. I am looking for a good boom mic for the UV-5R, but all the ones I have got for them suck really bad. They sound really muffled on the radios that I am talking to with the mic, and the speaker is not very desirable. The ones I have for my motos are perfect, I don't need something that nice for the baofeng. But I want people to be able to understand me lol. Also, are there any recommendations for other accessories for the baofeng?

I believe genuine Kenwood OEM accessories work on the Baoturds. That’s what I would use if I were to waste money on Baoturds. Keep in mind, quality accessories are going to cost more than the garbage they are attached to.

I'll see what they cost. Like I said I am only using baofengs when I'm doing something where it would be very easy to break the radio I am carrying. I'm not going to carry around a 300 dollar radio while standing in water.

Folks, please answer the OPs question or just move on.

I can't give you any specific models, as I own neither a Baofeng nor a Kenwood currently, but the 2-pin Kenwood stuff is compatible. I'm sure you can't go wrong with any of the Kenwood accessories. They are usually very well-built and work well.

Perfect, I'll give them a try.

Pryme (Pryme Radio Products) makes a variety of speaker mics and other accessories that are compatible with the Kenwood 2-pin connector that the Baofengs (and other CCR's) use. Same for Powerwerx (Two-Way Radios | Powerwerx).
