UKSN Baofeng BF-T1 UHF Two Way FM Radio (Black)
The BF-T1 is the UV-5R's little brother and is great as an event/camp radio, fantastic as a backup radio and perfect for children thanks to its simple design. Being USB rechargeable as standard its easily recharged in the field using only a powerbank or portable solar charger.

Set at 0.5w with a fixed antenna you can finally use the PMR 446 frequencies and a few UHF UKSN frequencies without swapping radios. The radios are robust, high quality and feature packed. They even have a built in FM radio and torch!

Each radio is individually programmed* and tested by hand here in the UK by our very own technicians. They come completely ready to go so you dont even need batteries or a screwdriver! We have done all the hard work for you!
Due to the lower power nature of the radios (0.5w) we recommend for very localised comms, Nexgen / family use or as a backup.
****SN1/Paid members automatically get permission to transmit on our 'licenced' channels without holding a personal licence. If you are not a paid member and transmit on 'UKSN frequencies' you are breaking the law.****
We recommend
- We recommend children only use the PMR channels as they are licence free.
- Please respect other radio users and if you experience interference - change channel.

- 1 x Baofeng BF-T1 Walkie Talkie UHF 400-470Mhz FM Two Way Radio
- 1 x 3.7V 1500mAh Li-ion Battery Pack (Preinstalled by UKSN)
- 1 x Belt Clip (Preinstalled by UKSN)
- 1x Lanyard
- 1 x Headset
- 1 x ENG Manual
- 1 x USB charge cable
If you choose to have your radio programmed (UKSN Paid Members only) you gain the following preinstalled channels:
Channels:
- PMR Channels (1-8) - Channels 1-8 ON UKSN Radio
- Family Channel (12) - Channel 12 on UKSN Radio
- Events Channel (20) - Channels 20 & 122 on UKSN Radio
10 channels in total have been programmed - The missing channels are unused and can be programmed with additional frequencies. We chose to set the radios up in this manor so they match the UV-5R UHF channels.
Please Be Aware:
Although not designed for VHF, the radios will transmit and receive both UHF and VHF frequencies. In testing we found the VHF frequencies to interfere with multiple frequencies across the spectrum so could in theory cause heavy interference. This is illegal! We advise you do not program VHF.
Important Information Please Read:
- Retail packaging is not included
- UKSN frequencies are only available to paid or allocated members.
- *If you select 'Programmed' without supplying your SN1 / Nexgen number in the notes at checkout you will be sent a non programmed radio automatically.
