One of the first handhelds capable of being programmed via Bluetooth, K-Type Jack Plug and USB-C with built in chip - so can be programmed with just a stock USB-C cable like the one that comes with a phone charger. Drivers are plug and play under Windows 10 and 11.

It's an attractive package for around £99 in the UK ($125 USD or 115 EUR). I wasn't going to do a review of...

President Lincoln II+ Restoring the "Missing" CB Channels!
Просмотров 16 тыс.Год назад
So this little video came about because I sold a President Lincoln II to a guy on eBay and after he installed it in his van he lost the 11m band. This is because a reset had been performed on the radio meaning that although the radio was modified it had defaulted back to the Ham bands only (10m and 12m). This video shows how to restore those missing channels. I hope people find it useful. Pleas...

Просмотров 55 тыс.2 года назад
The Baofeng UV-13 Pro is the latest generation in the line of budget two way radios from China. This latest model has 999 memories and a claimed 10 watts output - but is this really true?

I have one I love it 2e0liu
@Transmission1 does the BT allow you to connect to a BT headset/speaker or is it just of programing?
Sadly not, the bluetooth function is only for programming frequencies. I've yet to see one of these cheaper Chinese radios integrate bluetooth audio streaming - maybe soon I hope!
I was already to go find one of these online, when I saw the TX Check marks in the CPS software skipped right over the GMRS (US) frequencies! Tell me it ain't so. There's no 462/467Mhz (FRS/GMRS Channels)?
Para....area Brazilian people.
26.965...So that's is the EU/CEPT Channels. UK 40 27.601 so can you put the UK 40 Channels like that after the modification Or is it offset channels?
Good video. I've been waiting for these radios to improve on the airband reception, seems like they are doing that. Bluetooth option also interesting.
Great review!
Really? I'm suprised that comes in so well.
Got one a week ago Simon, what a cracking radio it is !

HOW MANY KM RANGE IT REACH?
Hope Nathan in Withernsea doesn't buy one,it will be to complicated for him
I don't think he will be buying one, he's more of a Quansheng man! 😉
Hi Simon, good review. I have one of these and I am amazed by it. I replaced the stock antenna with a Nagoya N771 antenna and I can speak to a friend of mine 10.3 miles as the crow flies, on VHF & UHF ham bands no problem! Hope to catch you on PMR again. Cheers. Steve de 26TM372.
Thanks! I was using the Retevis RHD-771 in part of the testing - seems to work great although Steve I was working with in the video seemed to think the stock antenna was better on 2m but it could have been down to conditions - we were pushing the limits of distance in the tests from his location. I love the TD-H3 for its compact size and it still manages to produce at least 4w on high power. Great value for the $30 or less!
Just watching it now very informative. You may mention it later, but which is better this one or h8 thx
Thank you. It all depends if you need the AM airband on this model or the extra power on the TD-H8. It's a difficult one to call since they both have similar features. The USB-C programming with the built in chip is nice to have in this model but they both can use Bluetooth and the cloud based ODmaster software so that might not be the main consideration. All depends how you are going to use it! TD-H3 is more pocket sized.
Okay, great thanks for clearing that up. I have watched loads of videos on these radios. This is the only video that has gone into detail and convinced me that they are actually decent. The Chinese radios have come a long way since the early days.
Nice review. 73s
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
En algunas frecuencias TX/Rx está totalmente muerto.
How are u keeping Ur backlight on mine goes off every few seconds
they do this as the (99) can it be modded the same as the (8)
I adapt the other way with the car kit as I use a bnc type magnetic antenna mount and I use a baofeng motorcycle ptt headset with mine
The unused pad on the PCB for what appears to be an SD card slot was probably what was going to be used for the record function. I have the same radio, and the same SWR meter!
look same with Motorola MT8900.
How about a link to the programming software, mate?
What are your settings to get that range? I have also bought it and my range is about 3 km in town. Zo how do you get 136km thats incredible...??😮
Great review is there many people on the airways in your area please may I ask?
Can i get it to connect with Baofeng BF888s models with setting the same frequency??
Je tombe pas sur le menu 5.45 !!help

Was that a Retevis Ant ? Does it cover the PMR Full Freqs Too? Nice little Unit
Yes, a Retevis RHD-771, great antenna. The radio does cover the PMR-446 frequencies and also works great on there too! Thanks for watching!
Usb-C Anschluss oder welcher USB ?
i just ordered one yesterday. im a old cb radio user, Im coming back to it after years away from it. so i hope this radio is a good choice
I just got a Quansheng UV-K5(99) and found the air band reception to be excellent, unlike other Chinese radios.
Great review, and great channel. What I dont get is on UK 40 (27/81) you have less then 4 watts across the band? Doesnt quite make sense when the legal max., is 4 watts... That aside it's a great set up for the money and the sound quality - especially on AM.. fantastic. 🙂👍
Thanks for the comments! Yes the power seems to be tuned for optimum output on the midblock frequencies, probably as this is the most commonly used band outside of the UK - most of Europe uses those channels so I'm guessing they put the effort into that. The AM audio quality is excellent, I'd probably go as far as saying better than the FM too :) Sadly under used in the UK even though been legal for a long while..
The P1-3 buttons can't be programmed for scan, so I have to plug in the mic to get it to scan. I only bought mine to scan air band on a desk radio.
Seems to be an excellent radio! The speaker on the Randy 3 sounds better to me though and you can even set the tone there.
Yes, would agree with your comment but the Randy 3 is twice the price of the Thunderpole. FM does distort slightly as you turn the volume level up on the Thunderpole. That said it's great value and feels solid!
Good to know thanks 👍📶
Good solid review, well done. Thinking of getting back into CB, but after checking with my scanner, my area is now very quiet. Might buy it to take with me on day trips -- you can see where this is going - I want one ! 😂
*"...banging out..."* Yeah definitely English 😂
Hello! Could you give me the link to download the UV2520 radio program software? thank you
Hi, Simon, I'm Brazilian. I recently purchased this radio, but it is not starting the system. Is there any function or shortcut on the buttons to reset? I appreciate the help.
Stock antenna is pretty useless, a lot more noise compared to to PMR 446 radio
turn off the screen light baofeng m13 pro?
Just ordered online the SS 7900 Turbo, a couple of day's ago, so found this review feature very helpful. Thanks for posting.
yeee.... what antena is used for this video
Does it work the airband? - and with clear modulation? (Am) - my 17R has terrible modulation on air! , and btw, you brits have a great humor!! ;D - 73 Levi in Sweden
In order to get a more accurate SWR reading, I made a ground plane plate out of a piece of 8"x7" 26 gauge aluminum roll flashing. With a 19/64" hole drilled dead center, it fits perfectly between the double male adapter and the antenna you are testing. Using this method I got perfect SWR readings on GMRS channels with two different radios using my 771G antennas, confirming - to me at least - they are optimized for those frequencies while non-GMRS frequencies had higher readings.
Would like to know if the sensitivity of this radio in reception compared to Yaesu and Icom on a scale of 0 to 10 what rating would you give?
Waiting the Answer..
2 in succesion sent back to scamazon, loud hiss in all bands. tinny sound. buggy sticky menus. isnt worth the extra band bs if it isnt a pleasure on the ears! which is bloody a shame since the battery life is downright phenomenal! went with the all black model retevis resemblant k5 with the non orange screen! all i can ask for with excellent audio.
Will this unit work in the U.S.A.?
Yes - you have mid block FCC frequencies in this radio, both on AM and FM. Radio works great in AM mode so you'll be fine :)
Does anyone know how to manually program for repeaters, especially input/output directions. It seems to do the opposite of what I input???
Mine gets clobbered by pager interference. After I loaded the memory channels with the supplied software, it no longer powered up. Sent back.
