I got my hands on the Talkpod A36P, and to say I'm impressed would be an understatement. As a longtime fan of Baofeng, especially their UV 5R model, I didn't expect to find a radio that would measure up or even exceed my expectations. The A36P is indeed a step forward in radio technology, offering excellent quality in the GMRS domain.
What truly surprised me is the model number: M13B5 UV3 B. While it might not be manufactured by Baofeng, model numbers are similar, and, its design and user experience make it feel like a premium evolution of the kind of quality Baofeng is known for. Every aspect of this radio demonstrates superior craftsmanship, from its build quality to its functionality.
Added functions are so easy to get to. There is FM /AM radio frequencies built behind one button. There is also search for radio station and you can save your favorite.
NOAA weather channels are also prerecorded grouped under one touch button. This is nice convenient feature.
Radio has color display and resolution is just fine for its purpose although it could be better resolution for use in bright sun.
Sound quality is so crisp, clear and loud that i don't even know how to explain it, coming from such small device. Wow…
This radio has so many features that it will take me few review updates to write it, without repeating what is written or sellers page.
Now radio package is absolute perfect score for this radio, it has everything i mean everything that you ever need plus more. TWO 1500mAh batteries , clip, cables super improved charger station and USB C cable to charge battery while your radio is being charged in station. I also come with cable to connect your radio to PC/Laptop via USB, so that you can program your radio via CHIRP!!! This feature alone is very impressive ( Baofeng used CHIRP too). You can program all your frequencies and radio features on PC/Laptop in excel-like CHIRP and you are ready to go. I love this. ( Baofeng does not come with CHIRP/PC cable)
Even though my review may not capture all its unique and amazing features, the Talkpod A36P undoubtedly leaves me speechless with its performance and design. If you are considering a high-quality radio, this one is definitely worth a look. I highly recommend this package as it comes with all goodies you need to use this radio to the full potential.
