UPDATED Review: Baofeng UV-5X GMRS - Is the Baofeng UV5X Now The Best Inexpensive GMRS HT Radio?

Not shown in the video: UV-5X power output test results:
Power-output on GMRS CH1: 3.9 Watts (both high and low power setting)
Power output on GMRS CH8: 1.5 Watts (both high and low power setting)
Power output on GMRS CH16: 3.9 Watts (both high and low power setting)
Power output on Repeater CH3: 4.1 Watts (both high and low power setting)
It seems that the power-settings (menu item #2) do not affect the power-levels.
Correction: I mentioned that the UV-5X can use all UV-5R accessories - this is true except for the antenna. The UV-5X has a different antenna connector and requires a UV-5X/GMRS specific antenna.
This is an updated review for the new Baofeng UV-5X GMRS HT walkie-walkie radio. In my previous review of the UV5X GMRS radio I found some problems but Baofeng has done some fixes and says they have fixed all of the issues and problems that were in the first-run of the radios - The UV-5X is basically the tried-and-true UV-5R but with all of the FCC Part 95E rules for GMRS baked in, making the UV5X legal for use on GMRS bands. Is the Baofeng UV-5X now the best low-cost GMRS radio?
