UV-50X2 (Second Generation) 50W Mobile Two Way Radio
Second Generation
The UV-50X2 is very much the same radio, our users have come to enjoy, with several new functionality improvements. The UV-50X2 has seen several performance improvements and tweaks in its second generation release.
RJ45 Audio Input & Output
The UV-50X2 has new menus and operations that allow audio I/O from its RJ45 microphone port. This allows the UV-50X2 to be installed for custom applications, where users want more control on where the speaker and mic audio is routed to.
VOX Handsfree Support
The UV-50X2 (Second Generation) includes VOX support. VOX allows for handsfree use with your favorite audio accessories or the included handheld microphone.
- BTECH radios use an upgraded Power Chipset
- Customizable PTT Return Times: When handling multiple conversations, the radio allows users to customize if the radio automatically switches to respond to active channels, or allow the user to set one channel default to transmit on.
- Dual Synchronize Display Mode: Synchronize Up to 2 Channels - and display both their channel name and channel frequency!
- Microphone Audio Gain Settings: Sound great and customize your microphone output for any repeater
- Expanded Frequency Range Support
- Auto Power Off Function: Save your battery and prevent unnecessary power draining
- Channel Mode Editing Settings: Edit saved memory channels on-the-fly; our radio does not require you to delete a channel to make changes
- New Scanning Modes: Auto Scan (Scan with a power reboot), Scanning Resume, and Variable Frequency Scanning
- Quad Watch Delay Time: Allows the receiver to stay on the secondary channel longer after incoming transmission - customize the delay up to 50 seconds; This avoids manually channel switching when you are engaged with simultaneous contacts on two frequencies
- Randomization Privacy Mode
RJ45 to K1 Audio Adaptor
Uniquely customize your UV-50X2
Group Tones supported
The UV-50X2 supports the most common Analog Tones. It supports CTCSS, DCS, 2Tone, 5Tone, and DTMF calling methods. Set-up your calling methods to call by group tones. Tone calling (private line) is required by most repeater applications and the UV-50X2 supports the latest standards.
The UV-50X2 can even send DTMF tones. This allows for sending ANI (Caller ID) or remote commands that require DTMF tones; or it can receive incoming DTMF tones to allow for remote stun or kill commands
Quad Watch and Display Sync
The UV-50X2 operates as multiple radios in one, with either VHF or UHF as the 'Main' band, while simultaneously watching up to 3 other frequencies or channels; and, if you like, you can configure your UV-50X2 for simultaneous VHF-VHF or UHF-UHF operation, too! Additionally, as a new feature added: you can monitor both VFO (frequency) and channel modes simultaneously.
Dual Sync DIsplay:
With Dual Sync Display, you can synchronize channel lines to one or two channels. This allows you to sync display 'lines' to a single channel allowing the user to have both frequency and channel name data displayed simultaneously.

I’ve had this radio for several months now using it as a base station. It has been a great radio and I’ve no issues with it at all. I would highly recommend this radio.

I have a few Baofeng products and this one is the newest addition. It’s easy to program and even though the display is small, it’s still easy to read. The speaker is crisp and clear. The only issues I have come up with are, 1 the mounting bracket. When I was inserting the screws they didn’t seem like they wanted to seat all the way down and one decided to sheer clean off. 2 is the antenna mount. The NMO mount and antenna don’t appear to have the proper fit like my other set up. Again they too are not as tight as they probably should be. I did try a couple different things to try and tighten them up and nothing. Something Baofeng my wish to look into. It’s nothing that won’t keep me from buying from Baofeng, but I will make sure ahead of time about proper fitting before purchases. Thank you BaofengTech for another great product.

Great rig, excellent customer service!

I’ve had this radio for awhile now and it’s a good solid radio, easy to use. I built it into a go-box for 50 watts of portable power. Only issue I’ve had is the screen in the bright sun is a bear to see. I’ll have to play with the colors to see if I could make it better. Wish there was a brightness setting.

My HAM Shack burned, and this radio survived, I have been using it as a base with power supply, as soon as I get my 1975 Jeep CJ5 restored this will be in a radio box between the seats, I have no idea how long ago I purchased this radio it has been good quality, good sound and trouble free. of all my radios this ties for 1st place with a BF-F8HP

Best inexpensive radio I own! I generally buy Kenwood, but wanted something smaller in my 4×4. Paired with the Comet CA-2x4SR antenna, wow, what a combo. I can get out over 35 miles on simplex GMRS! 2m in the Cascade mountains 15 to 20 miles is no issue whatsoever.
BTECH I am truly impressed!!!

I have had my UV-50X2 for nearly two years. It was my first ham radio which wasn’t an HT. I am a Vietnam Veteran living on Social Security so money is scarce. I feel like I got my money’s worth and my transmission checks from all my fellow hams on North America have complimented my signals from Martha’s Vineyard.

I recently purchased this radio for my base station because of my experiences with the UV-25X4. The radio is well made and it works fine as part of my shack. It sends and receives strong signals. It was easy to set up and operate.
David Smith –
I love the way it operates. It’s easy and compact, fixs perfectly where I mounted it.

I love this radio. It is versatile and powerful. I’ve had it installed in my vehicle and as a base station. At the moment it is configured at home with a simplex repeater box and works great. I haven’t had any issues with duty cycle. Combined with quality cables and the correct antenna for the purpose I get great SWR and advertised power on VHF and UHF.
