Why the BF-W31 is the Professional's Choice

Unlike standard license-free toys, the Baofeng BF-W31 is a serious communication tool. Its UHF (Ultra High Frequency) transmission capability allows signals to penetrate concrete, steel, and dense woodland better than VHF alternatives. This makes it the preferred choice for warehouse logistics, event security, and construction teams.

The device features a robust shell that resists impact, and the IP54 rating guarantees reliability even when the weather turns against you. Combined with the included earpiece, you can maintain discrete, hands-free communication in noisy environments.

Programming & Customization

While the BF-W31 works out of the box with pre-set frequencies, many users prefer to customize their channels to match existing fleets or specific work frequencies.

*Note: A Windows PC is recommended for programming.

    Far superior to the 888s & 8e for a more professional feel and excellent sound quality. The options of either 0.5 watt and 2 watt outputs make it ideal to programme for UK Simple Business Licence or the UK Free Licence options.
