In this video we look at a £40 budget Chinese radio the Quansheng TG-UV2-PLUS the supposed high power revamp of this popular radio, will it live up to the specs on the box and how will it compete with the other so called high power sets?
I fell in love Quangsheng radios after a review from Radiosification. I bought eight of them for me and my friends and I have no regrets. I bought the UV-R50 but I'll also try out the TG-UV2-PLUS although I have chills about this one. The Baofeng in this review didn't do bad though Great review
Yup that quansheng rocks-and refreshingly-like you said seems to live up to the hype. Think I’ll have to have one- thanks for taking the hassle out of radio reviews , Barnie M7PBX.👍🏼
Yes for the money is a belter as are the other 2 radios on test here, it's not all about power but I like the fact it does actually output it's rated power, normally you have to pay for top brands for that.
Hi knoxieman. What would you say about tyt th-uv8000d vs tg-uv2-plus? Which is better? I have uv8000d, but i can still return it to the shop and i am wondering if tg-uv2plus will be better? UV8000d has 10W too. I am wondering also, maybe the quansheng has better stock antenna than tyt and therefore it results in stronger signal in your test? It would be great that u would do the test again, BUT using the same antenna on all three radios. That test would be the best u can test actually. Every radio with its own antenna: the difference could be mostly because of the antenna itself... Please advice me on the choice between tyt and quansheng. Quansheng is more pricey, costing around 30 bucks more.
Gracias por el vídeo!. En recepción es la mejor radio que he tenido!. Me encanta la estabilidad que tiene en recepción!. También es muy buena en transmisión, duración de batería y con una impresionante radio comercial! 😍👌💪. No hay mejor radio " calidad - precio ". Saludos!. Yo le he cambiado la antena, por una Retevis 701. Deberías probarla! 👍
Hi to you from Israel. My friends and I travel through the desert with HT devices. Don't need another band. No other frequencies are listened to either. Which it is. We need a long transmission range. So which device is under $50 best for us?
The retevis RT5 is a very punchy radio if you are on a budget however if you can stretch to it this radio is top class in terms of power, on the cheap radios look to change the antenna this will improve performance, if you can get a magnetic mount and roof mount the antenna that will make a huge difference, using radios inside the car isn't great for range.
RT5 is 5 watts, I wouldn't focus too much on power, all of the budget radios are very similar, just a standard UV5R with a decent antenna should be OK, you can buy folding tactical antennas if you want better range. Diamond make some good antennas for HT radios but buy from a reputable retailer because there are fakes about.
i have a several Baofeng radios rated 12 watts. Using power meter, you are lucky if you have one that puts out 7 or 8 watts. Most triple power puts out 1,3, 5 watts max.
Hello, thank u for making the video! Would like to check with you on the battery life, is it able to let u have perhaps 2 days of usage? Im comparing the uv2+ & ZT A19, the A19 biggest weakness to me is the smaller battery of 2800mAh tho i do like its dual ptt & easy-to-setup crossband repeater.
Try comparing and contrasting the Baofeng UV-H7 and the Tidradio TD-H6 10W radios with the Quangsheng. They're all very good radios at budget prices. The H7s, though, are crippled by the fact that batteries are unavailable in the USA. I'm really drawn to the H6 radios. No flashlight and all radio. The H7 also has no flashlight, but you can use the bright display as a flashlight
Does anyone know where you can download the software for programming this HT? If you go to the quangsheng web page the download appears to be password protected.
Radioddity GA-510 boasts 10 watts as well about the same price. It sits on the shelf getting dust (it's that bad). I'll stay with the big 3 from now on.
The antenna of TG-UV2-PLUS is not good at all, especially at 433 MHz. I've conducted the test of TG-UV2-PLUS with the antenna of UV-R50, it's much better; the video is uploaded on my channel.
