UV-K61 Tri-band (AIR / VHF / UHF) Radio, USB-C, Baofeng, Black

Baofeng UV-K61 Tri-band Radio (AIR / VHF / UHF), USB-C

Baofeng UV-K61 is a versatile and modern handheld radio suitable for everyday users as well as advanced radio enthusiasts and professionals.

The tri-band design enables transmission and reception on VHF and UHF bands and also allows listening to the aviation band (AIR) using AM modulation, making it an attractive choice for aviation monitoring.

The radio supports a wide range of frequencies, including shared VHF/UHF channels, PMR, marine frequencies and repeaters. With up to 999 memory channels and intuitive controls, operation remains fast and efficient even with extensive setups.

A key advantage is USB-C charging, allowing easy power supply from standard phone chargers, powerbanks or vehicle USB adapters. The output power can be adjusted directly in the menu (LOW ≤ 1 W / HIGH up to 4–5 W) to balance range and battery consumption.

The radio comes factory pre-programmed with:

• 16 PMR channels
• 9 shared UHF channels
• 5 VHF channels

Channels are clearly named (e.g. PMR1, PMR2), ensuring easy orientation even for less experienced users.

The UV-K61 is fully compatible with Kenwood 2-pin accessories, including external microphones, headsets and PTT switches. Additional features include VOX, Scrambler, transmission time-out timer (TOT), keypad lock and Roger beep.

For enhanced protection and carrying comfort, it is recommended to use a durable carrying pouch, ideally with a MOLLE system, allowing secure attachment to a tactical vest, plate carrier, belt or backpack. Thanks to well-shaped controls, the radio remains easy to operate even while wearing gloves.

Baofeng UV-K61 is a powerful, flexible and affordable handheld radio suitable for hobby use, monitoring, outdoor activities and demanding communication scenarios.
