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.
Thanks for a nice video! Could you please tell us what is your Uv25 radios firmware and hardware version? Also if you key8 while powering up radio screen, should show receiver chip name? Thanks
Are the Baofeng models with GPS available in the UK. The UV-17 PRO GPS, and the UV-18 PRO MAX are hard to find across the pond. I hope that you have the opportunity to test one of these models.
Hand held use of a radio over 5 W would exceed the RF exposure limits in the US. 10W radios should be used with a mobile antenna attached to a vehicle.
