Hey bro! They did a good job designing that one. Looks good. That's a huge antenna. Chirp is programmed/owned by a ham here in Portland. I hope all is well with you, your ladies, and the two pooches. We are doing well here. Will tell my ladies, and the lads at the shop hi for you and your ladies. Talk with soon. 73...
Hello Pat, yes it's a very well constructed radio that's for sure. They seem to be getting better and better (every week) lol there are new ones almost every day 😁. I remember you mentioning the chirp dude previously 👍. Pass on the M0YKS Yo's and hugs and catch up with you later. 73 tnx
I love this cheeky radio and tbh the harmonics aren’t that bad through its antenna so I’m assuming it has some sort of band pass filter in it. Lovely clean RX audio on them too.
Only got it this evening but it's very nice indeed. I really like the look and size and like you said it has brilliant RX audio. It's pretty much similar to a mobile radio rather than typical hand held with it's size, pwr and speaker quality. I already happy with the purchase and not even used it properly. 😁👍 Thanks for your info on this I appreciate it and looking forward to getting out properly with it. Cheers bud. 73
The UV-5R M is airband and works great as well as amateur bands. Very reasonable as well. This new beast is very cool I can't wait to get out properly and see how it goes. It isn't made for AIR bands but can RX on the Air frequency on AM but to be fair the Quensheng UV K5 & K6 are very good for airband and even less money. I have and like both but for a few dollars extra the BAOFENG are built better as in if you drop it the Quensheng scratches easy and the BAOFENG just dints the floor. Sorry to hear your ICOM is taking time out. You will most likely get it fixed up I suspect 😁👍
Hey man, I saw in some videos, after removing the battery, there is a "10W" sticker. My UV25Ls have a sticker with the letter M. Do you know what can be the difference? How can I test if my radio is 10W as I am afraid it's not...
@@M0YKSHamRadio thanks for the reply, I will need to test it in open field environment. In the city the signal barely goes 2-3 blocks, guess this is normal with so many buildings huh?
@@M0YKSHamRadio Hey 👍my Grandfather was a big Radio ham back in day he was G3NEW based in Crossland Moor ,I'm just learning , keep these video's rollin' .peace bro :)
@ce5circle656 nice one dude my grandad was also into radio but more Short wave listening. I remember camping out with him and his radio when I was about 8. I know Crosland moor over Huddersfield way not so far from me about 15 - 20miles. Thanks for watching and hope you get into it keep it up. 😁👍
@@M0YKSHamRadio Yea your grandad too eh ! Huddersfield yep :) That's me ,when I heard your voice I said this guys local :) Take care and thanks for the reply :)

That 10W Baofeng is a beast!
My iCom IC-A24 just quit, so I'll have to rebuild the battery. I wonder if Baofeng makes a cheap air-band radio?🤔
