The Baofeng Uv29 Ham Radio For Amateur Radio Enthusiasts!

[@bigwill4423]

Interesting. Looks like a bit of a mish mash between a tri-band UV-17 Pro v2 with a UV-5RM screen and menu system (the rather naff red on blue menu) and as you say a rather UV82 looking body.....a real Frankenstein parts bin special which doesn't really bring anything new to the table on first glance but I'll await your further testing before deciding on that Paul. I suspect it will program using UV-17 pro in chirp (?) but again I'll await your further testing. Bit of a strange one, that's for sure!😲

P.S I've just done a google search for this model radio and can't find it listed for sale anywhere......are Baofeng making special custom built radios especially for you Paul just to confuse us all! lol 😲😲😲😜

[@DonzLockz]

Interesting. Their naming convention is all over the place? Lol

[@ham-fam]

Yup

[@petercarter9034]

Just a re-badge looks like nothing new the menu on the UV17 Pro GPS is far better, red letters on a blue background what are they thinking

[@ham-fam]

The red menu is such a BAD idea, i too dont know what they are thinking :/
