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.

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.

@@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.

@@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.

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:?

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.

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

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.

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

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

What's bigger this or the baofeng ar-152
@gtretroworld3 ай бұрын
The AR-152 is probably a bit longer but the UV-25 is probably a bit wider and deeper.
