Both are spec'd to cover the same frequencies and now have the same output ratings (8W VHF/7W UHF). https://baofengtech.com/comparechart
The BF-F8HP has a bigger 2100mAh battery versus the UV-82HP with 1800mAh battery. I'd be using a BTech mic, and can add an antenna if needed. My buddies use BCA and they work OK if nearby (they love them, I find the range inadequate), but I'm also on SAR and would like a radio with more range and flexibility.
Any real differences for a sledding radio? Input is appreciated. Thanks.
