BaoFeng Tech<\/a> announced today the release of the BTECH UV-5X3 (https:\/\/baofengtech.com\/staging\/uv-5×3)<\/a>. The UV-5X3 is more than just a “UV-5R with a third-band added”; the UV-5X3 is a full overhaul to the world’s favorite amateur radio – the BaoFeng UV-5R.<\/p>\n First and foremost, the UV-5X3 was built by adding filtering and support for the 220MHz Amateur band. The original UV-5R was a 4-watt dual-band radio; while the UV-5X3 can now output 5-watts on VHF and 4-watts on both 1.25M and UHF. The UV-5X3 focused specifically on the amateur band frequencies of the 1.25M band during design. The UV-5X3 supports: 65-108MHz (RX only – FM Radio), 130-179.99MHz (RX\/TX), 222-227.99MHz (RX\/TX), and 400-520.99MHz (RX\/TX)<\/p>\n Simplified Scanning<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n We also simplified scanning on the UV-5X3. We listened to our users that frequently customize their scanning lists and our users that want to have more flexibility to scanning on-the-fly. The UV-5X3 made changes to both frequency and channel scanning. In channel mode, the UV-5X3 adds a new menu option to easily add or remove any channel from the scanning list; while in frequency mode the UV-5X3 allows you to enter in a specific frequency range to scan. You no longer have to edit the VFO range through a computer or are forced to scan the whole band when you only what to scan a small portion the band.<\/p>\n Sync Display<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Due to popular demand, we have also brought over the synchronized display mode from our BTECH mobiles. You can now display the channel name and frequency of a single channel on both displays. This simplifies the operation for those who prefer to monitor a single channel. It also allows you to have the most information available by displaying both a channel’s name and its frequency without any toggle. The synchronized display mode also works during scanning too, and can be turned on or off with a menu option at any time.<\/p>\n DTMF Remote Commands<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n The UV-5X3 can respond to remote commands. By remotely sending DTMF tones you can both ‘Stun’ (Transmit Disable) or ‘Kill’ (Disables all functions) the UV-5X3. You also can ‘Revive’ a UV-5X3 from its “stunned” or “killed” state. You can also remotely turn on the microphone through ‘Monitor’; or ensure the radio is within range by using ‘Inspect’ (replies with a confirmation tone when it is within range).<\/p>\n ANI Updated<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Along with being able to previously send ANI (DTMF Identification); You can now enable “Decoding” the incoming ANI (DTMF) tones right on your display.<\/p>\n The UV-5X3 is completely programmable using CHIRP. This means for the hundreds of radios already supported through CHIRP – you can easily import your radio data from your previous handheld or mobile radio right into the UV-5X3, which makes it that much <\/em>easier to program. What also makes CHIRP support unique on the UV-5X3, is that CHIRP is the sole software option for the UV-5X3 on a ‘Day One’ release.<\/p>\n UV-5X3 Radio, 1500mAh Battery, V-85 Dual Band Antenna, 220MHz Single Band Antenna, CH-5 Charger, CH-5 110V Adapter, Earpiece Kit, Wrist Strap, Belt Clip and an In-Depth 85 Page User Manual<\/p>\n The UV-5X3 is available today at www.baofengtech.com and through our authorized distributors.
