Technician's Take: Hands-on with the UV-98 Pro

"We compared the UV-98 Pro directly against its predecessor, the UV-9R Plus. The first thing you notice is the refined ergonomics—the rounded corners and the lack of a belt clip screw-hole on the battery make it incredibly comfortable to hold. The radio sits extremely stable on a desk, unlike some top-heavy models. We also noted the volume knob shield is slightly shorter, making it much easier to adjust volume with gloves on, while still preventing accidental bumps."

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is the Baofeng UV-98 Pro waterproof?

Yes, the UV-98 Pro features an upgraded IP68 rating, making it dustproof and resistant to water submersion. It is significantly more durable against rain and splashes than the IP67 rated UV-9R.

Do I need a driver for the programming cable?

In most modern operating systems (Windows 10/11), the cable is plug-and-play. However, if your computer does not recognize it, you may need to install the PL2303 or CH340 driver depending on the specific chip version.

What accessories fit the UV-98 Pro?

The UV-98 Pro uses the Baofeng Multi-Pin Waterproof connector. It is NOT compatible with standard 2-pin (K1) accessories used by the UV-5R. You must use waterproof-specific headsets and cables.

What is the range of the Baofeng UV-98 Pro?

With 8 Watts of power, the UV-98 Pro offers extended range compared to standard 5W radios. Actual range depends on terrain, but it generally performs excellently in outdoor and urban environments.

Does this radio come with a license?

No, the Baofeng UV-98 Pro is a powerful amateur radio. In the UK, you require a valid Amateur Radio License or a Business Radio License to transmit on its supported frequencies.

Can I charge the battery via USB?

The standard package includes a desktop drop-in charger. The battery itself does not have a direct USB-C port, but USB-compatible charging cables for the dock are available separately.
