Thank you for the review I am starting this a new person I have to get use to this
You are welcome, and welcome in to the art and science of amateur radio!
Thanks for the review
Absolutely! Hope it helped.
The screw in battery is because it’s IP-57 or 67 waterproof (it advertises as both). The screw keeps it pressed to the waterproof seal. Thanks for the review.
Funny, it doesn't mention that on its Amazon sales page that I bought it from.
@@NukaVaultReadiness I’m sorry, I have the UV-21 Pro V2. The instruction manual says IP-57, but the advertisement says IP-67. I didn’t realize it wasn’t the same radio.
Therein lies the answer. Thank you for the follow up!
Did you go straight to the Nagoya or did you test if the stock antennas were any good?
I usually go to the Nagoya, but I should have checked the stock antenna (good point). There are a couple of 2M repeaters that I can hit with an ok signal report, so I just upgrade immediately. 70cm repeaters I can almost NEVER hit with a stock antenna from my location (lots of dense trees).
My UV 21r pro V2 is coming tomorrow not sure what the difference is from this and version v2 is but looks good
Hope it works for you! Seems like a solid build, even though it is plastic. Thus far, acts like a typical Baofeng model, minus now having a color screen.
Dose the center button do anything as mine dose not..thank your good video
It doesn't do anything, I guess it's just for aesthetics. Only the up and down arrows are usable. Appreciate the comment!
@NukaVaultReadiness thanks for letting me know now I can stop thinking that it dose not work...
My wife gave me mine as a gift. I said the thing . My uv5r on roids ! Lol ! It does feel more less like a toy . I like mine .
I like testing new ones out when I get them.
More Chinese subsidized stuff. Does it do chirp?
Sadly, I cannot get it to CHIRP. May be a firmware issue. Here is a website I found, hope this helps!
chirpmyradio.com/issues/10581
O cant find dual watch there
I think it is the menu option known as TDR (# 7 on this specific model). It is off by default, so you have to turn it on. Hope that helps!
So you can or can’t use as police scanner
As far as my knowledge takes me, you will not be able to scan most police frequencies on an analog VHF/UHF radio.
Most emergency services (at least in mid to large departments) are all on digital and usually secure.
Looks like a Kenwood copy
What model of Kenwood?
Which Kenwood?
just buy quancheng uv-k5(8) cheap and easy for modulate
Don't own a Quancheng, but heard decent things about them.
Is the quangsheng better than the Uv21? I can get the quangsheng cheaper
You can't see the display in the sun
Appreciate the feedback. I have learned display screens capture best in the shack/on the workbench.
Will keep that in mind.
