Review: Great little radio! - If you have a vehicle that you would like to install this in but don't have much space, this is seriously the radio for you. It is a very capable radio, yet very tiny. I can literally hold this thing in the palm of my hand. I drive an $800 car so I have no problem drilling into the dash and mounting this thing. There have been a lot of complaints in the reviews and I was skeptical about buying but decided to dive in anyway and I'm glad I did. This radio has held up well within the past month or so that I've used it, I've reached folks about 22 mi away using a larsen tri-band antenna. I'm seriously considering the 50x2 as a base station because this worked to well. As for the complaints... Is there an audible click? Yes. It is insanely loud and annoying? Annoying yes, loud no. I don't use 200mhz so I never have this issue. Is the fan loud? I actually laughed, it's really not that bad. It winds up while transmitting and sounds like a little rc car. While driving, this is not very noticeable and I just ignore it and enjoy my $100 radio. I also read that when using the radio powered via the cigarette lighter, it will heat up enough to melt. This did not happen in my case, however, I wired it up to my car battery for a more reliable connection. As for the programming side, do yourself a favor and download Chirp and use it. Makes this radio SO much easier to program, although you should know how to do this manually. Admittedly, this does take some time. My only complaint is the scanning. I have to enter the freq range I want to scan, rather than just select a band and hit scan. Minor complaint, but just what I prefer. I'd recommend this to anyone looking to jump in and not spend a whole lot of money.
Review: Base or Mobile, This is the one! - This little radio is a gem. I use a cheap power supply I bought off desertcart to power it up to 13.6 V dc. It's my base station although I built a converter from the AC power supply to a "cigarette lighter" supply to run it at home. I wanted a mobile ham radio but didn't want to have to run a cable from my battery into the passenger compartment (I'm not that committed!). Using the cheap desertcart power supply and a female cigarette lighter adapter I put in a little plastic tool box this guy is perfect for my needs. I can use it home and get a very nice signal and when I want to go mobile I just unplug it and my car can handle the 7A draw with no problem. Is this a real hard-core ham radio? No. Can it serve a great purpose in your car? Yes. Can you also use it at as a 20+ watt base station. Absolutely. I have been amazed at how good the transmit power and reception is. I will warn you the "cigarette lighter" gets warm and will need to be adjusted in your home power box. I plan on finding a power receptacle with wires and using those instead of the "cigarette lighter" to plug into my home power base. I can hit repeaters many miles away with this little gem, I also enjoy the 220 bands. There is not a lot of activity there but I plan on changing that and may even host my own 220 net. There's no reason we should give up bands just because the big 2 don't spend any money to make their radios compatible. Is it Chinese? Yes. Might it infringe on intellectual property of other radio companies? I don't know, that's above my pay grade. Can it be a nice base station and mobile station? Absolutely. The power draw is low enough that a car's "lighter" circuit should support it. Overall, I like the sound of this radio and love the low cost.

## Features

- Enhanced Audio I/O Support: The UV-25X4 features upgraded audio input/output capabilities through its RJ45 microphone port and includes a K1 audio adapter. The widely compatible K1 accessory jack allows access to a vast range of aftermarket audio accessories, tailoring your radio experience to your preferences.
- Effortless Installation and Adaptable Use: The UV-25X4 comes with all necessary mounting hardware for smooth integration into any vehicle. Easily convert it into a home or office base station with the optional RPS-30M power supply (sold separately).
- Suggested Accessories for Peak Performance: Optimize your UV-25X4 experience with the Nagoya TB-320A Tri-Band Antenna for easy installation and the PC04 FTDI Cable for seamless computer programming.
- Triple-Band Functionality: Operate the UV-25X4 as multiple radios in one, using 144 MHz, 220 MHz, or 430 MHz as the primary TX/RX band, while simultaneously monitoring up to 3 other frequencies or channels. Configure your device for VHF-VHF, VHF-UHF, or UHF-UHF operation according to your needs.
- All-Inclusive Kit: Your purchase includes the BTECH UV-25X4, RJ45 to K1 Audio Adapter, Speaker Mic, DC Cable, Radio & Mic Brackets, Mounting Hardware, and a User Guide to help you get started with your advanced radio experience.
- Dual Watch monitoring VHF/UHF and 220Mhz: The 220 MHz band antenna lowpass filter is switched with a relay and the 2 meter lowpass filter and 70 cm highpass filters are switched with PIN diodes - resulting in a audible relay switch noise when monitoring 220MHz with VHF/UHF simultaneously. A relay that completely isolated the 220 MHz RF filter won't impact the RF performance of the 2 meter/70 cm bands. If monitoring multiple 220MHz or VHF/UHF simultaneously the relay is not heard or used.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good radio, does just about everything on the budget.
*by V***N on August 13, 2017*

Lots of features that you'd expect from a more expensive radio, such as Mic Gain, OLED color display that is fully configurable. Size is tiny, and will fit into the pocket pouch of a hoodie easily. Audio quality rivals your big 3 labels, and nobody will know you're using this radio unless you either tell them what you're using. However, there there are a couple of issues with this unit that I'd like to review. First issue is the pinout of the external mic and speaker. It is not standardized to anything, PTT and Mic lines are two separate leads instead of a single pin like Yaesu. Also the hole is recessed, but that normal 3.5mm TRRS connectors WILL NOT be inserted fully unless the plugs housing can fit into the hole. The house size must the same size as an iphone headset connector housing, anything wider will not fit. That includes standard diameter plug housings. So, if you want to use an external mic or a headset, get ready to figure out how to wiring one yourself, it be harder than normal. You can work around this issue by the use of iPhone headset extension cable to solve this problem. Beside to buy quality so that the plugs actually is to spec, and will make contact with all 4 connectors properly. Second, and the biggest issue is the included cigarette lighter power cable. The cigarette lighter adapter is underrated, and WILL melt if you use it under 25w power with heavy usage. I was running a talk net as a substitute net controller for local repeater for about 2hrs, and the spring inside the cigarette lighter adapter headed up so hot that melted and fused in with the housing. With the spring tension gone after the casing melted, the connector will fail, and you will end up in the dark. I've emailed Btech/Baofeng tech about this. They simply told me to buy another connector from them for $10+ shipping despite that would not actually solve the problem from happening again, and the radio is still under warranty. An alternative adapter to use a Powerex brand cigarette to OEM-T for $15, that is rated for 15amp and will have a less likelihood of melting during those times "when it counts". But if you're going to do anything serious, it's best to actually use a better connector than the cigarette connector such as Powerpole that is much more resilient against heavier loads. I've included a picture of the melted connector. Note bulge in body of the housing, and the center power pin no longer protrude due to the loss of spring tension, and being fused with the housing.
