Knob Blocker Radio Guard for Baofeng UV-5R
We’re excited to introduce the Knob Blocker Radio Guard for the Baofeng UV-5R, our first guard designed specifically for recreational radio users.
The UV-5R is one of the most widely used handheld radios among hikers, off-roaders, hunters, and amateur radio operators. However, when radios are carried in backpacks, chest harnesses, or clipped to gear, it’s common for the volume or channel knobs to get bumped, causing missed communications or unexpected battery drain.
Our Knob Blocker helps prevent these problems while protecting the radio from everyday wear in the field.
Prevents Accidental Adjustments
Keeps your volume and channel settings locked where you set them, reducing the risk of missed communication due to accidental knob changes.
Helps Prevent Battery Drain
Protects the power knob from being bumped, helping reduce the chance of the radio turning on accidentally in a bag or gear pack.
Added Protection
The guard helps protect the knobs from damage by distributing pressure between the knobs and the antenna.
Simple Installation
The Knob Blocker installs quickly using two screws, providing a secure and reliable fit.
Built for Outdoor Radio Users
Whether you're using your UV-5R for hiking, off-roading, hunting, camping, or amateur radio, the Knob Blocker helps keep your radio protected, reliable, and ready when you need it.
