I can't add aerial bands in programming with chirp

Hello, have you tried the fm band on this radio, I wonder if it is receiving or sending, I would be glad if you inform me, regards

Great review! Thanks. I've just bought two. They must be in high demand because on Temu and Coupang where I bought them, purchase is limited to one unit hence why I bought from different sources. On Temu I paid 46,000 KRW = £25 and Coupang 58,000 KRW = £32 so £57 for two radios which is excellent value. Thanks for the review. HL5ZEE / NP2PU.

Thanks for review SV9QCB/73

Does it have wide and narrow settings? I was just wondering if you could switch it to wide and then switch to airband, would that improve the AM aircraft signals? Just an idea, as if wide and narrow are set in software then it may just effect AM providing it remembers the wide setting. Just an idea

Let’s be clear about FCC certification regarding spurious emissions. The FCC does not test radios; rather, they rely on vendors to supply testing data showing that the radio meets FCC criteria. That being said, there are many, many, many radios with FCC certification that do not meet spurious emissions criteria or adequate dB separation between the fundamental and harmonics. It’s also not unusual for some radios from a manufacturer to be very clean and then other radios from the same product line to fail. The onus is on the buyer to ensure their radios do not cause interference. This also applies to any other device that transmits, such as wifi routers, so it’s not limited to 2-way radios.

Another excellent review complete with token spectral purity troll in comments. 🤣. Nice radio. First time I've seen consistent tx output across bands on that type of radio -- nice. Yes we do have 1.25 band here in the US. The sad thing is not many people use it. Have a wonderful evening. 👍

Having an FCC ID means two things: Diddly and Squat. This is a dirty radio. I have one.

Hello, I can't transmit on the PMR 446 channels on the Baofeng U25. Do you have a solution? Thank you.

CAN YOU TALK TO CB RADIO ON THE UV25

Good review, I have just bought one of these. As a fan of President radios I was tempted by the Randy/Jerry but this seems to do just as much if not more than those radios, and it costs less. 73's

For anyone who has one of these the metal belt clip for Kenwood TK-208 TK-308 TH-22AT TH-42AT fits perfectly and they are only a couple of pounds from eBay or Ali express👍🏻

On order thanks, great review on this UV-25. :)

I wouldn't discount the strength of that belt clip until you test it. Since that radio was given to you for testing, why not do it! Mount that clip, then strap that radio on your belt, and then yank the crap out of it until it breaks. You might be surprised! If it's truly mil-spec, that clip SHOULD have been ruggedized as well. Most of the time, those plastic belt clips are crazy strong; I've had decades of experience with them on Motorola radios and seldom had a failure.

Really like this radio

They really need to sort out AM reception, it can't be that hard. I'm not buying Baofengs again until they can do this.

Best review of this I’ve seen. Tempted to have a dabble back on CB. Too lazy to go for the HAM license, PMR446 is dead where I live other than the occasional kids using their Argos radios 🙄

How do you switch to AM in VFO?

£32.99? What a scam. Costs under £15 on ali. Comes from china in a plane in like 9 days.

Very nice review of the radio. Seems like it has great audio.

Hello can you tell me where to find the manual in French for this BAOFENG UV-25 TRI BAND amateur radio please? Kind regards, Alexandre

I love this radio

Good, I will buy it. Tnx

Inside the antenna there a very thin flexible other antenna like the ABBREE AR-771. I watched a video from a guy that took it apart.

You can repair that cable and make it more stable by using 'sugru'. It's like a moldable rubber that goes fairly hard but remains flexible when it has set. It's great for armouring weak cable connectors. ;) Cheers.

I only have it for SHTF big battery reasons.

If you use the Baofeng software it allows you to access the banks or zones. This makes it very useful. It then copy’s to chirp using the read from radio so you can transfer the code plug easily.

Lots of spurs on the harmonics. Should be illegal.

It does nothing that an ar5rm doesn't do😊

Had a baofeng 888s since the battery is kind of gay i manage to epoxy resin a power bank at the back 😂 i now charge it maybe 2 times a month..but pretty useful for the price.

🙂

Nice dark speaker grill

Nice review Simon, got mine last week fairly pleased with the radio my initial observation are it’s heavy to hold while using however using a Bluetooth mic has sorted that out. So wish the PTT was a little more weighted as when picking up the set if turned on it triggers the transmit if caught accidentally. I agree the belt clip is one big let down and potentially if using you could end up dropping the radio. My thoughts are that I might purchase the same belt clip used on my RFinder B1+ as with a slight mod would fit and is a lot stronger. It so reminds me of the Motorola radio I carried around for 12 years when working for WYPF. Best 73s. Kaz. G4OWW. …..

Nice radio and excellent review. Looks like you could use it to clobber a burglar if you had to -- what a beast. You were wondering about 350mhz; a lot of Chinese radios can enable transmit for 350. India's version of FRS/PMR uses 350mhz. 👍

what a beast 😁 nice review too 🤪

Hello, I did an update to the ODmaster App and now I cant change parameters for repeaters (plus or minus, freq. offset) on the radio. It can only be done with the app. Is this normal or anybody else having this problem?

😮 im in Oregon USA

i got into CB in the 70s in Los Angeles county southern California approximately 50% of vehicles had a mobile CB and at any time there would be dozens of base stations " rag chewing" with about 4 channels each one divided by age plus the trucker channels and " skip" channels 😊

Great video thank you . Can you advise how many code options are available within the scrambler function ? normally it’s around 10 on similiar style radios .

I have an old jesan kt7007 what still has the truck king seal on the side it was the 1st cb i owned .The 90s uk cb was the good old days for me

You could use, the CPS, CHIRP, or the Tidrado BL-1 wireless programmer. This radio is compatible with it.

Can you use this to listen to ships?

Mine turned up today. As a 14 year army vet, I deliberately went for the bright lime green. No need for black, if it gets dropped in the field it'll be hell to find. No need for tactical movement now. I spent money on kit, I want to find it easily 🤣

Hello Where can I get a list or a chirp(odmaster) frequency download, for all UK repeater and channels ect that are important in a emergency and so on. I hope I can make my license next year, this new Hams are much better then in the past. 🤗 73

Sirio uses a shunt coil for improved matching and is dc shorted ,the tank whip isnt and Impedance is around 30-35ohms resonant on car roof. sirio shunt coil helps match it better into 50ohmz by raising the Z impedance. Differences ? sirio about 1/2 a S point (-3db) roughly difference-In practise barley noticable. Tank whip is 0dB Sirio has a higher Q point over a narrower bandwidth. Tank whip has a lower Q ,But wider bandwidth over sirio. Tank whip works best with a BArrel big spring on it and prevents damage if hitting tress. Yes you will hardly notice a difference in performance,only bandwidth range of tank whip. Only run a tank whip mobile with tri-mag mount of ball joint mounted (drill type) due to weight loading and safety. If want wideband 3-4mhz go 9ft on roof and very very high power RF. If want shorter but very good performance go Sirio 4000 (less bandwidth,higher Q factor) Great video 👍 Rob.P 73's

very beautful ! 😀 Where did you buy the PL259 3/8 adapter ?

Looking to buy one of these is it hard to set up? Like is it literally turn on and you can find people to speak to or what do I have to input anything

non vale nulla is fallure radio

display rotto difettato ?

Handhelds are fantastic for talking to someone half a mile down the road! Haha, You can do just as well using a cheap 446 MHz radio…..
