I don’t think that it affects the reliability of this radio, however a radio is something you have on your body and you should not have it heat up too much. One of the things to note about using cross-band is that in high power mode the radio gets warm if there is a lot of traffic. You can purchase an extra battery for it too. The c harging base is very stable and is not tippy, which is a good thing. The package with accessories is complete. There is a knob which you can use to change the frequency, which is a nice touch! There is the ability to change from Frequency Mode to Channel Name mode without having to power off-on, which I have talked about before as well. Straight forward keypad programming allows direct freq entering and change of cross band function plus others such as power, CTSS etc. I even like this Better than the Baofeng high power HTs already owned and would be fine if this were my only HT. You can handle all cross band functions such as power and CTSS from the keypad as well. You can use the keypad for programming this too. I prefer this over the more expensive BaoFengs and Motorolas that I own. The E model produced 4.3 watts in low power and 8 watts in high power in VHF mode (146.52 MHz). I used the UV8000E to communicate with people on a repeater that is about 30 miles away from my point of testing, and it worked flawlessly.

W hen taken to the mountains, you can use it cross-band to communicate from the bottom of a canyon where there is no signal to repeaters 40 miles away thereby extending coverage amazingly. You can be c onnected to TRAM outdoor antenna and have a coverage of miles and miles, which is pretty awesome. This device works great as Cross – Band r epeater, which is the best part about owning this device. You can also program Marine, M URS, and GMRS. You can program all HAM, UHF and VHF frequencies on this device. The strong spring makes attaching both screws at once much more difficult. Removing the battery should also make attachment easier. One screw should be started before attempting to insert the second screw.
The included belt clip is attached with two Phillips head screws. None of the programs were labeled for use by the UV8000E. As is often the case, the CD is intended for use with various radios. The box contains all the usual things, and a pocket sized CD with USB cable drivers and programming software is provided.
