Using a amplifier with a cheap UV-5R is like someone that uses to make a lot of noise at your street and neighberhood shouting stupid things and annoying everyone, deciding to buy a PA (Public Adress) sound system: You can imagine the havoc........😪😪😪 Using a amplifier like this on a cheap, RF noisy radio is so dangerous for the other radio spectrum users that you cannot even imagine. Even if you use a decent portable radio, you MUST allways check harmonics levels going into the air (with a good quallity spectrum analyser). Even much worst at a Base Station than at a mobile station. Beware........🤬😠 (you can minimize this by using a narrow band passband filter for the ham bands (yes, the ham bands !!! If you are not a licenced radioamateur you have no business transmiting. Remember: you can listen but you CANNOT transmit, so why would you need a amplifier ???!!!!!!!)

@TheNotaRubicon 3 года назад

Each year over 5,000 children are killed because irresponsible parents fail to check the harmonics on their UV-5Rs with a spectrum analyzer.... I am so glad that you have your RU-vid FCC Police Badge to save us all..

I am testing with it in place of my normal home setup of my UV-5R going to a TPL brand 50 watt amp, hand held mic, and a J pole antenna 25 feet in the air. Everyone so far has said that it sounds good and has a strong signal on multiple repeaters. I'm going to bump the UV-5R output up to 5 watts for my next texts.

@anonymousbastard2981 3 года назад

I just installed the BTECH AMP-U25 version in my minivan. It took maybe 20-25 minutes to install. It's hooked up to a UV-5X(with the new firmware), a Midland micromobile magnetic mount antenna, and both are powered through a lighter plug. Using your preferred power/SWR meter and a bigass dummy load its putting out over 40 watts on channels 15-30 and close to 43 watts on the channels 1-7 where you can't use it. If you turn off the amp you can use the radio by itself. So far so good on it's sound, the reception through it seems good as well. On a side note you should be getting your duplexer soon(if not already) as they are back in stock. Love the channel! And sorry for the long comment.

@CyberCowboy7777 3 года назад

I looked hard at this option for my mobile setup in my truck, having several HTs. But BTECH has some good dual band (lol!) mobile units that don't cost more or not enough to justify the extra installation, mounting, wires (25w or 50w). I'd still consider one for a base station as I already have the PSU to run my Yaesu and usually run a 5R connected to a JPOLE antenna as my second/local stuff/scanner stuff anyway and this would increase transmission range. But even then being limited to 70cm or 2m or 1.25M kinda kills it on the HAM side due to cost. Now for GMRS, that may be a different story.
