BAOFENG UV 17 Pro , UNBOX & SET UP

[@mistyman1968]

Just ordered one, £17.09 posted through the door from Ali Express, mine is Orange which I'm not bothered about at this bargain price, thanks for the heads up on this BARGAIN! Also thanks for the software download Link you posted for the Baofeng BF-18H on a recent video, it will also allow everyone who buys this Radio to program them to because it covers 4 or 5 Baofeng Models, your a top Man, please keep up the good work and thank you...Dave de M7OBJ.

Oh cool cheers

[@leejenkinson5521]

wanted ID51 for a while, but they were shown as discontinued when I checked. So, I ordered the Baofeng U17-Pro-GPS. Returning to Ham Radio after 25yrs away..I am based near Rotherham too!

I'm an absolute beginner who was seduced by the thought of listening to aircraft-tower convos and any other communications of interest. However, I bought a better aerial as was told the factory one was no good, but have still only managed to get one transmission, one side of what I assume were hams chatting. Here in the UK there is no radio weather service that they have in the US, and out emergency services use some other more complex system that is pretty much unavailable to Baofeng users. What I'm wondering is, if you were in my shoes how would you go about learning to use this radio? I know nobody with one, and due to health reasons am pretty much a hermit. The instructions are of course aimed at people who don't need to learn all the jargon, acronyms etc, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I looked up the local airport tower frequency but the moment I type it in the screen reverts to the previous number. It is very frustrating, but I fully realise the radio is not aimed at people with my almost total lack of knowledge.

Ali Express now has a UV-17 pro plus. I have ordered one but not yet received it. It has a 10W Tx output and a 4800 mAH battery. I think it is a USA model and I don't know if there is a British/Euro version.

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

There are a few variants hope you get it soon .

[@leejenkinson5521]

Looks like the GPS UV17 Pro version 2 is currently not available, I ordered the GPS version but they sent me the standard Version 2-UV17

[@HamTechRadioScannerDrones]

GPS is nice to have .
