Fine Business! - A Reliable Triband Handheld Transceiver
The UV-5x3 was the first radio I purchased and used as a new Ham. Over the past year, it has proven reliable and is a great little radio! I just used it today as the UHF receiver in a satellite QSO. The satellite QSO employed a BTECH DMR 2x6 as the VHF transmitter (7watts) and a dual band VHF/UHF Arrow II Yagi antenna. Imagine a QSO with a ham in Florida using just a 7 watt, handheld radio that was able to reach the SO-50 FM satellite repeater! The BTECH UV-5x3 was able to receive a signal from a repeater satellite that was using a a 250 mW UHF transmitter! Fine business!
