Baofeng UV-5R + NA-771: Maximum Range Right Out of the Box
The Baofeng UV-5R with NA-771 Antenna is the smart choice for UK users who want the best possible performance from day one. The NA-771 is one of the most popular aftermarket dual-band antennas in the UK — replacing the standard stock antenna with a longer, higher-gain alternative that pushes the UV-5R's 5W output to its full potential.
Whether you're coordinating a security team across a large site, exploring the hills and countryside, or operating on UK amateur radio frequencies, the NA-771 upgrade gives you noticeably stronger signal and wider coverage — all without changing your radio or programming.
Everything you trust about the UV-5R — 128 programmable channels, dual-band VHF/UHF, VOX hands-free, FM radio, and emergency alert — now paired with an antenna built to go further.
Why Upgrade to the NA-771 Antenna?
Stock Antenna
- Length: ~15cm (compact)
- Basic gain — suitable for short range
- Works well in close proximity
- Fine for urban town centre use
NA-771 Upgrade Antenna
- Length: ~38.5cm (extended)
- Higher gain for longer range
- SMA-Female — plug-and-play fit
- Ideal for outdoor, rural & large sites
The NA-771 uses the same SMA-Female connector as all UV-5R models — simply unscrew the stock antenna and screw on the NA-771. No tools, no technical knowledge required. Instant upgrade in seconds.
Programming the Baofeng UV-5R
Manual Keypad Programming
Programming the UV-5R manually is straightforward once you know the steps. Press [VFO/MR] to enter frequency mode, select the A side (upper display) with [A/B], and choose your band with [BAND]. Enter your desired frequency using the numeric keypad, adjust step size via the menu, and set CTCSS/DCS codes if required. Manual programming is ideal for quick field adjustments without a PC.
PC Software Programming (Recommended)
For faster and more accurate setup, use Baofeng CPS programming software with an original Baofeng USB programming cable. This allows you to programme all 128 channels, privacy codes, and radio settings in minutes — ideal for teams deploying multiple UV-5R units across UK sites.
Additional Features
Memory channels store specific frequency settings for quick access in the field. CTCSS/DCS tones filter incoming signals to keep communications clean. Switchable transmit power (5W High / 1W Low), reverse mode for frequency swapping, and Time-Out Timer (TOT) provide full flexibility for both amateur and professional users throughout the UK.

Who Uses the Baofeng UV-5R + NA-771 in the UK?
The UV-5R with NA-771 antenna is especially popular with UK users who need dependable communication across larger areas and more challenging environments:
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Does the NA-771 antenna really improve range on the UV-5R?
A: Yes. The NA-771 is longer than the stock antenna (~38.5cm vs ~15cm), which gives it higher gain on both VHF and UHF bands. In real-world UK conditions — open countryside, hillsides, large outdoor sites — users consistently report noticeably improved signal clarity and range compared to the stock antenna.
Q: Is the NA-771 compatible with all Baofeng UV-5R models?
A: Yes. The NA-771 uses a standard SMA-Female connector which fits all UV-5R variants including UV-5R, UV-5RH, UV-5RA, UV-5RE, and UV-5R Plus. Simply unscrew the stock antenna and attach the NA-771 — no tools or modifications required.
Q: Is the Baofeng UV-5R legal to use in the UK?
A: The UV-5R is legal to own and receive on in the UK without a licence. To transmit, you require a valid UK Amateur Radio (Ham) Licence or a UK Business Radio Licence. It is not authorised for PMR446 licence-free channels. See our guide: UK Ham Radio Licences, Bands & Gear — Your Complete Guide.
Q: VHF vs UHF — which band benefits more from the NA-771?
A: The NA-771 improves performance on both bands. UHF benefits particularly well in built-up UK urban environments where signal penetration matters. VHF gains are more noticeable in open rural terrain and elevated UK countryside. Read more: VHF vs UHF — Which is Better?
Q: How do I programme the Baofeng UV-5R?
A: Programme via keypad manually, or use Baofeng CPS software and a USB programming cable for fast PC-based setup. CHIRP is also fully supported.
Q: What is the real-world range of the UV-5R with NA-771 antenna in the UK?
A: With the NA-771 antenna fitted, users report improved range over stock in all environments. In open UK countryside or elevated ground, expect 5–10km+. In dense urban areas such as London or Manchester, typical range is 1–3km. Using a UK repeater network extends this significantly further.
Q: What earpiece connector does the UV-5R use?
A: The UV-5R uses a Kenwood K-Type 2-pin connector, compatible with all K-Type speaker mics, earpieces, and headsets. A PTT earpiece is included in the box.
