  • BTECH UV-5X3 Tri-Band Radio
Great little HT, for the money and all the things it can do. At this price do not expect a very selective tight receiver, but it does get the job done for strong and moderate signals. It can Rx/Tx and 2 meters, 70cm and 220 Mhz. Add to all that MURS, GMRS and Marine frequencies. FM commercial broadcast and Weather Rx. Even small little flashlight/blinking warning light. All these features in a small tiny package. Word of advice: Install a good quality third party 144/220/4440 rubber duckie antenna. Keep the other two OEM small antennas for backup and use in tight, short range communicatons. ... show more

  • A very nice little radio!
Although this radio may not have the best RF specs out there in terms of sensitivity, selectivity, and power output, it approaches ideal in many other aspects. First of all, it combines the three most popular VHF FM bands in one handy radio. Other manufafturers make radios like this at much higher prices, and as a result, they are not common. Western Nevada, and especially the Reno area where I live, has more repeaters per capita than just about anywhere else in the US, the result of the very mountanious surrounding terrain. This makes a radio like this especially handy, as it can work just about any repeater it can 'see'. In other respects, it is fairly easy to operate. All the important features a radio needs are there. They just might be a little more hidden than on the more expensive radios. The somewhat lackluster RF performance disadvantage can be mostly overcome by using a quality aftermarket antenna, and there are many choices out there. I use a triband antenna, also offered by Btech, and it helps tremendously. These radios are indestructible, but they are well-built, and easily withstand day-to-day abuse, like their dual band brethern. All batteries, accessories, etc. are interchangeable between the dual and tri band models, meaning if you already have an acessorized, UV-5R, this radio is an inexpensive and logical step up. And at the price, it behooves one to invest in several radios and keep them where you need them, as well as in emergency prepardness kits. Lastly, there is the programming issue. Some folks say these radios are hard to program. They really aren't. They just program very differently than most of the other handheld transceivers out there. Once you get used to the way programming works, you will come to like its simplicity. Of course, they are easily programmed with a computer and an inexpensive programming cable. The programming doftware is even open source. In the meantime, these radios work like virtually any other radio in VFO ('frequency') mode. I think SDR=based radios are the future for many things. The immense popularity of these radios (both dual and tri band) attests to their general usefulness. If you really need high performance, use one of the expensive, 'name brand' radios out there (and I haven't gotten rid of my 'expensive' radios). But for routine day-to-day use, it is very hard to beat these little radios. I already have two of these radios (plus 2 dual band UV-5R's), and plan to get a couple more. ... show more

  • Significant step up over UV-5R and similar
This is probably my new favorite Chinese radio. It’s not so much the 3 bands but Baofeng finally added a display sync option so you can choose to have the upper line display the alpha name and the lower line display the frequency or channel number instead of being stuck with the fake "dual watch" format of all the previous models with only one line for the active channel. You also press and hold the 3 key (Scan) and in VFO mode the radio will prompt you for a frequency range (to the nearest Mhz). So if you want to say scan 144 to 148 Mhz you just enter 144148 and it will scan from 144.0000 to 148.9875 (subject to the default step size configured). There are few other improvements as well. It works with the free CHIRP software (look under BTECH not Baofeng). This also supposedly uses the latest chipset and RF design. I get better audio reports and the receiver seems somewhat less prone to intermod and desense issues. It does work with all the same UV-5R accessories including batteries, battery eliminators/AA packs, antennas, programming cable, headphones/microphones, etc. It comes with the supposedly "improved" 2m/70cm antenna that's a bit longer than the original UV-5R antenna. In testing I don't really notice much difference. Get a genuine Nagoya if you want a real upgrade. I measured it at 4 watts actual output on high into an ideal 50 ohm load with a reasonably fresh battery. This is similar to all the other "5 watt" Baofengs. Why only 4 stars? Because it still has many of the same annoyances as the UV-5R and the confusing plethora of previous similar models. For example the "BAND" button isn't needed and indeed was omitted from the BF-F8HP. In VFO mode you can enter any frequency in any of the 3 bands and the radio automatically chooses the correct band. In Memory/Channel mode, the BAND button does nothing. It still has the annoying alarm function that can be triggered by mistake. And you still can't power or charge the radio via a power connector on the radio. It has to be placed in the charging base. And the scanning is still on the slow side. It's also annoying and potentially destructive it doesn't ship with a tri-band antenna. So you have to haul around an extra antenna and remember to swap them around if you plan to use the 220 Mhz band and either of the other bands. If you forget which one is on the radio, and transmit on the wrong band, you could damage the radio due to high SWR. Overall, this is the first Baofeng radio I think might worth paying extra for compared to the UV-5R. It's a more refined version of the UV-5R with some potentially useful added features. Even though it's about twice the price It's still a good value compared to many alternatives. All the radios designed in China have issues but this one at least has fewer than most. ... show more
