That particular model will not do 2.5 steps. The newer model has 2.5 step built into it. I bought a KG-UV6X rated as a commercial radio and it's got the 2.5 step on it but I don't use it. I programmed my Wouxun with the cable and free software that you can download. You can only...

Over the past 30 years I have tried at least a dozen or more dual band antennas for my hand helds. I have tried the short ones, medium size, and the real long ones. The Comet, and Diamond, and MFJ's have work well, I've used the longer ones for better performance I have found that the short...

This fake Icom hand held is an FDC FD-880 Dual Band hand held, I just bought one and it's an amazing radio. I have picked up 4 of the Chinese hand helds so far and they are all very good. This FD-880 has a little more bass sound to the audio on receive but its a good bass sound, I like it, as...

I hope she does ship it to you but from what I see when I look up that radio on AliExpress, the shipping fee is listed at $58 bringing the total radio cost to something like $117 or so... I haven't found but three sellers of that radio and all have very high shipping costs. This is an...

I think eventually they will introduce a dual bander.... this VV 808 most likely has the guts of a hand held stuff in the case with a beefed up power output... At $100 for one of these tiny mobiles I think I'll pass for now since it's only mono band and you have to buy the mic with keypad on...

I have 2 of the Baofeng's the UV 5R, and UV-B5, and I have the Wouxun KG UV6D . I like all 3 of them, but the Wouxun performs better in my opinion on both bands. I put all 3 radios in the identical same spot, with the same antenna, (Nagoya 771) and the Wouxun hears much better than the...

I have both the 666 and 771 ... the 771 is clearly better on all 3 of my hand helds... It is also twice as long .

I have the Nagoya 771 antenna on my Baofeng UV 5R and it works great. I have tried 2 other Nagoya shorter antennas but the 771 works much better for me than the shorter ones. I believe the 771 is almost 16 inches long so it makes it a little wobbly when set on the table.

This is an excellent review, thanks for all your time and effort into reviewing this radio. As for cross banding, I prefer the Kenwood and the reason being is exactly what you said about remotely turning it on or off. The Kenwood can be set on , off, tx power change, freq changes , etc...

I think for that kind of price tag they should throw in a keypad...:oops:

I read where you can put in 2.5 khz via the software.... can't be sure until I get mine and try it out. As for flashlight I don't need one, and the UV B6 has one for anyone who needs a flashlight. My interest is in the front end for intermod, and in the transmit audio boost.... I hope mine...

I don't know if this has been talked about here yet or not but I've found that Baofeng has introduced a new model, it's the Baofeng UV-B5 dual band HT. This is NOT a copy of the UV-5R but has many improvements over the 5R series as well as different form factor, and also has the Encoder Knob...

I like the Kenwood for a few more dollars, mostly because it can be operated in the crossband mode remotely. You can turn on the crossband , adjust frequency, power, etc, all from a remote hand held... I looked into the Wouxon mobile but even though it's a nice radio, and has a lot of features...

I bought a few extra antennas for the UV 5R that I have. The stock rubber duck that came with mine works but not as well as the gain antennas' I bought. I got a few off of Ebay, I'm not sure right now what model numbers they are as I don't have it in front of me but one antenna is about 16...

I own the UV 5R and have had it since before Christmas of 2012 and I really like it. I had not heard about these Chinese radios, and I was not active on the VHF /UHF bands for almost 10 years then I decided to get back into it and pulled my old gear out of the closet and decided I needed to...

This UV920 radio is a very interesting radio for the price. It seems to have a lot of good features and from reviews I have seen it sounds good and works well. There seems to be a few quirks with doing some things with it but overall not a bad rig for the money. For me personally this rig...

Same radio as was said with wider coverage but all the other specs are the same. I think Ive see this uv5r being sold under at least 6 model numbers all saying NEW MODEL ... on Ebay... its tempting at $46.20 with free shipping and includes charging cradle and all accesssories...

That is an awesome looking rig.... a friend of mine had one years ago and he had a 60 foot tower with a 12 element beam up there ... I used to hang out at his shack and we made contacts clear over the lake (Lake Erie) into Michigan in the Detroit area with 100 watts from Northeast Ohio into...

The 920 P model is kind of neat with the extra features such as the remote control, and full duplex cross band . These were only available on the Kenwood which is what I really like. You can take your Handheld and program it remotely or turn on Cross Band or turn it off etc all from your...
