Baofeng BF-33C PMR446 | USB-C | Family Radio 3-Pack

Baofeng BF-33C PMR446 Family Radios for Outdoor Coordination

The Baofeng BF-33C PMR446 3-pack is a ready-to-use walkie talkie set for families, campsites, outdoor games, school trips, small events, and light-duty team coordination across EU PMR446 channels. This EU version is configured for 16 PMR446 channels with 0.5W transmit power, 12.5kHz channel spacing, a fixed antenna, and simple front-panel operation, so users can communicate without building a radio setup from scratch.

Each handset combines a backlit LCD, VOX hands-free transmission, dual-channel watch, channel scan, sub-code scan, 50 CTCSS tones, 105 DCS codes, keypad lock, roger beep, LED torch, emergency strobe, and USB-C charging. The included 1400mAh lithium battery supports up to 18 hours under typical use, while the official specifications list up to 5km range in open areas. For a more compact business-style PMR option, compare it with the Radioddity Baofeng BF-88ST PRO set of 2 or expand a group kit with the BF-88ST PRO set of 4.

For operating details, channel behavior, menu functions, and safety guidance, refer to the official Baofeng BF-33C EU user manual. Users who need region-specific paired radio bundles can also review the Radioddity Echo-DE PMR walkie talkies and Radioddity Echo-IT PMR walkie talkies for alternative language or market packaging.
