BOAFENG UV-25 Pro 10w Tri Band Handheld Huge HT! (Overview)

[@kimsantos5543]

BOAFENG UV-25 Pro 10w Tri Band is very nice as per my experience

[@gtretroworld]

For the money it is very good, hoping to use it outdoors soon. Thanks for visiting the channel.

There are two versions. The UV-25 and the UV-25 Pro Max. The second on has a scramble option in the menu and airband. Inside this bendable antenna is a very thin antenna like the Signal stick. and the coil is on the bottom.

[@gtretroworld]

I wasn’t aware there was a noticeable difference between the few variants so thanks for that info. Also the antenna from what i have read there is a coil and also some sort of band pass filter. Ideally i could do with smashing one open to have a look. Thanks for the visiting the channel.

[@Doomsdaypress]

@@gtretroworld I saw a video of this guy opening the antenna with his tools and it revealed the very flexible antenna. I didn't see a bandpass filter only a resistor or something like it. I have the UV-25 without scramble and airband.

[@gtretroworld]

@@Doomsdaypress You don’t really need the scramble function anyway unless you have a couple, i will try and find that breakdown of the antenna, thanks.

[@Doomsdaypress]

@@gtretroworld Yes, I know. One is heavy enough. 😁 Thanks.

[@gtretroworld]

I have been a little busy lately and the weather has been boring. Just hang in there and i will have these radios out shortly with some original videos, you may even be impressed…haha

Hi, I don't understand much English, but it clears my doubts, on the website where I'm looking to buy there are 3 ads, one for the normal uv-25 version says it has 5-10w for 40 dollars, and another ad for the uv-25 L and pro version It says it has 15-25w for 60 dollars. And all the same buy the cheapest uv-25 for 40 dollars? or the versatile L and pro and even higher? And in the test, how many watts of maximum power did it give? The ad says 15-25w. Is it true or false propaganda, they all have 10w maximum:?

[@gtretroworld]

On testing i found that my so called Pro version was outputting close to 10w on VHF. I am almost 100% certain all models are the same so just go with the best deal. Thanks for visiting the channel.

[@CrisBoy410]

​@@gtretroworldok so pro version has 10w like the normal version, I'll buy the cheaper 10w version thanks

No AirBand, no GPS, no DMR, a pain in the back under solar light, just a big Brick !

[@gtretroworld]

It lacks a few features and the display isn’t that bright in direct sunlight but for £30 or around that in dollars it is a bargain. It is almost a big as a brick but the sound quality is incredible.

[@theroguetomato5362]

Which camera as you using? I like how it does autofocus.

[@gtretroworld]

It is a Sony ZV-E10 with a 11mm F1.8 Prime lens. Brilliant combination, especially if you like low light close up vlogs.

@@gtretroworld Thank you!

[@Xpurple]

I should have mine in a few days!

[@gtretroworld]

You won’t regret, i am still amazed how well this performs for the money. Thanks for visiting the channel.

[@eddiedowning2571]

What's bigger this or the baofeng ar-152

[@gtretroworld]

The AR-152 is probably a bit longer but the UV-25 is probably a bit wider and deeper.

[@Crushbandicoot-wv8xb]

Where did you buy yours I been thinking about getting one

[@gtretroworld]

I bought mine from AliExpress, there is a link is in the description. Hope this helps.

Hahaha that rubber duck looks a bit limp

[@gtretroworld]

Yeah it’s not the best look but it was too big to fit in the frame fully erected. 😂
