In the picture it shows 10 watts, this radio is not 10 watts, it is 8 watts. I also have a regular UV-5R, It is so much better. This 5RM is a brick, extremely bulky. At the end of a incoming transmission there is a loud (regardless of volume) static chirp that the UV-5R does not have. The screen is unreadable unless the backlight is on. UV-5R does not have that problem. From seeing other people's testing harmonic resonance on the 5RM is terrible (way out of FCC regulation). The 5RM is nice to listen to the air bands and hear the local airports, but that's about the only upside. Aside from a bit more transmit power.
