20x Baofeng UV-5R III — Enterprise-Grade Tri-Band Fleet for UK Organisations
The 20x Baofeng UV-5R III is the enterprise-scale tri-band fleet pack for UK organisations that need complete radio communication infrastructure across multiple departments, operational zones, or even multiple sites. Twenty radios covering three bands gives your organisation the capacity to deploy fully independent teams across different areas of a large operation — all programmed from a single channel plan file, all fully interoperable, and all managed from one unified fleet configuration.
Whether you're a UK security company equipping a full event team, a construction firm deploying radios across a major site, a hotel group standardising communications across multiple properties, or a festival organiser covering every department from security to logistics to medical — 20 UV-5R III units on a structured multi-department channel plan give your entire operation professional-grade tri-band command infrastructure at a fraction of the cost of proprietary commercial systems.
Programme all 20 radios from a single saved CHIRP channel file. One file. Twenty radios. Zero monthly fees. Complete tri-band enterprise communication.
20-Radio Enterprise Fleet — Multi-Department Deployment Strategy
Multi-Department Channel Plan
- Channel 1: All-fleet command broadcast
- Channel 2: Security department (5 radios)
- Channel 3: Logistics department (5 radios)
- Channel 4: Operations department (5 radios)
- Channel 5: Management / HQ (5 radios)
- Channel 10: Emergency — all 20 units
Enterprise Use Cases in the UK

Enterprise Tip: Programme all department channels, command channel, and emergency channel into every radio from one saved CHIRP file. Each operator selects their department channel while retaining access to all-fleet command and emergency channels. CTCSS/DCS codes keep each department's communications private. A second programming cable and PC can halve deployment time for 20-unit fleets.

Who Deploys 20x Baofeng UV-5R III Enterprise Fleets in the UK?
The UV-5R III 20-pack is trusted by UK organisations that need enterprise-scale, multi-department tri-band communication:
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How do I set up a multi-department channel plan across 20 radios?
A: Using CHIRP or Baofeng CPS software with an original Baofeng USB programming cable, create a channel plan that includes a shared command channel, individual department channels with unique CTCSS/DCS codes, and a fleet-wide emergency channel. Save the file, then load the identical plan to all 20 radios. Each operator selects their department channel while retaining access to command and emergency channels via memory.
Q: How long does it take to programme all 20 radios?
A: With one programming cable and one operator: approximately 50–55 minutes (master radio 5–15 mins + 19 radios x 2 mins each). With two cables and two operators working simultaneously: approximately 30 minutes. We recommend purchasing two programming cables for 20-unit fleet deployments to halve the setup time.
Q: Can I deploy 20 radios across multiple sites with the same channel plan?
A: Yes — all 20 radios programmed from the same CHIRP file will operate on identical frequencies and settings regardless of physical location. For multi-site deployments, be aware that radio range is limited by distance and terrain between sites — radios on different sites will not communicate unless within radio range of each other or connected via a repeater network. Within the same site, all 20 units communicate seamlessly on shared and department channels.
Q: Do we need a licence to operate 20 UV-5R III radios in the UK?
A: Yes. For a 20-radio enterprise fleet, a UK Business Radio Licence issued by Ofcom is the most practical licensing route. A single Business Radio Licence covers all radios within your organisation operating on licensed frequencies — far more cost-effective than individual Amateur Radio Licences at enterprise scale. See our guide: UK Ham Radio Licences — Your Complete Guide.
Q: What makes the UV-5R III different from the standard UV-5R?
A: The key difference is the additional 220–260MHz (1.25 metre) band available on all twenty units. This third band provides additional frequency space for department separation on a less-congested band — particularly useful for large enterprise fleets where VHF and UHF channels may become crowded. All other core features remain identical to the UV-5R platform.
Q: Can I order more than 20 radios?
A: Yes — for quantities above 20 units, please contact us directly and our team will arrange a custom enterprise bulk order quote for your exact requirement. All UV-5R III units are fully compatible — additional units can be added to your existing fleet at any time using the same saved CHIRP channel file.
Q: Can I reuse the saved CHIRP file for replacement radios or future additions?
A: Yes — your saved CHIRP channel file is permanent and reusable. Load it to replacement radios, future fleet additions, or use it to restore settings after a factory reset. One master file controls your entire enterprise fleet permanently — no need to rebuild your channel plan from scratch.
Q: VHF vs UHF vs 1.25M — how should I use all three bands across a 20-radio fleet?
A: For enterprise fleets, all three bands provide strategic value. VHF (136–174MHz) for outdoor and open-site departments — construction, perimeter security, outdoor events. UHF (400–520MHz) for indoor departments — hotel floors, warehouses, shopping centres. 1.25M (220–260MHz) as an additional departmental band for separation when VHF and UHF channels are fully allocated. Programme channels across all three bands for maximum enterprise flexibility. Read more: VHF vs UHF — Which is Better?

UK LEGAL NOTICE: LICENCE REQUIRED TO TRANSMIT
IMPORTANT: The Baofeng UV-5R III is not a PMR446 licence-free radio. To transmit on its frequencies within the UK, your organisation must hold a valid UK Business Radio Licence or each individual operator must hold a valid UK Amateur Radio (Ham) Licence, both issued by Ofcom. Transmitting without a licence is illegal and may result in prosecution. Receiving (listening only) is permitted without a licence. Please ensure you comply with all current UK radio licensing regulations before operating your fleet.
