Problems with my new UV-17R

I ordered 2 UV-17R talkies from Baofeng and 1 of them did not work. I called customer service, and they replaced the defective radio and shipped it to me very quickly. I own many Baofeng radios, and this is the first time I have ever had a problem. Baofeng treated me with excellent customer support. I will continue to purchase Baofeng products.

Support at Baofengradio is very helpful.

Support at Baofengradio was kind enough to send me an e-document with the operating manual for my recently purchased Dual Band UV-21R handheld radio. Without it, I had no clue how the radio would function or how to use same. Thank you!

Dear BOAFENG,

Dear BOAFENG,
I would like to thank you very much for your excellent support when I come with my questions (DM - 32 UV), as well as for your other products. Absolutely fantastic, including your kindness all these miles away in southern Germany. And especially, a big hello to your wonderful Ms. Olivia from the support team. She's always a great help.

Many greetings to my Chinese friends... Robert Hummel from southern Germany

Great Products and Incredible Support

Great products, excellent quality, and amazing support! I have worked in the electronics industry for over 40 years. I have worked with numerous companies throughout the world. Baofeng support is the best I have ever encountered! I highly recommend Baofeng and their products to others.

I purchased a set of uv 5gs and a set of uv 5g pluses. The pluses were easy enough to program, but the normal 5gs didn't seem to have any specific software so I downloaded a few things that looked possible. None worked, so I reached out to baofeng's customer service for a solution. Turns out they use the "plus" software, but the cs team was extremely thorough, providing multiple links and checking back multiple times to ensure I got everything working. Shocking level of support for a $30 radio.

Had a question regarding the power on password for a UV-5RM, did a quick search for technical support and ended up on the official Baofeng website. I submitted a technical support message and within a couple of hours, (literally went to sleep and woke up in the morning) and I had a response to my email with two possible solutions for my issue. Immediately I tried the first option and I was in, the radio was unlocked. Overall it was a great experience, with helpful and expedited technical advice that actually works.

I had an issue with a programming cable. They responded with the information I needed to fix the issue. It was a driver issue. They directed me to it and the cable I thought was junk suddenly worked perfectly! Very helpful company.
