I have been waiting for these comprehensive features, all in one transceiver, for years. The inclusion of the 222 MHz band with decent power is a big plus. This unit works as good or better than my Wouxun KG-UVD1P at a much lower price. The FM commercial broadcast frequencies received go all the way down to the studio to mobile unit communication frequencies band. This is important in Indianapolis with all of our events year round. It keeps our Ham Radio volunteers more informed about what is happening at each event. The only drawback of this unit is the inability via computer to extend the receive / send frequencies to cover other services that we are licensed for or need in emergencies or catastrophes. My Wouxun can cover my work and emergency frequencies (operating under their FCC licenses) in addition to my Amateur Radio licensed frequencies.
I would highly recommend this radio to any Ham Radio operator. This is the best handheld that I have used over the last 40 years.

BTECH UV‑5X3 - Adding 220MHz (1.25M) was just the start!
While maintaining the same classic design to allow full backward accessory capability, don't let the appearance fool you: The BTECH UV‑5X3 is the only radio in the series with new firmware features and menu updates!
New Firmware, Features, Options, and Menus: Only available on the UV‑5X3.

|---|---|---|---|
Display SynchronizationAn exciting, new feature on the UV‑5X3 takes full advantage of the LCD's dual line display. In the past the dual display allowed you to monitor two different frequencies at once. Unfortunately, for user's that only wanted to monitor a single channel, the secondary line was of no use... until the UV‑5X3! The UV‑5X3 allows users, who want to display the most information at once, to synchronize the display. This allows the LCD to show both the channel's frequency and channel name simultaneously. Display synchronization allows the user to maximize the available information seen at a glance! |
Modify the Scanning ListA brand new menu allows for one of the biggest conveniences while scanning: Modifying the Scanning List! Before the UV‑5X3, you couldn't manage the channel scan list without a computer. The brand new menu in the UV‑5X3 allows you to easily add and remove channels from the scanning list. Have a nuicanse channel that you want removed from the scan list? You no longer need to go home to a computer to remove it: A simple menu allows you modify your channel scan list without a computer |
Channel Mode ModificationsThe UV‑5X3 comes out of the rut that all other UV‑5 series radios are stuck in. The UV‑5X3, built with the amateur radio operator in mind, allows channel modifications on-the-fly. Previously and on other current UV‑5 models, you were forced to delete a channel and then recreate it from scratch if you wanted to alter any settings. The UV‑5X3 allows common edits to the channels: Such as adding, changing, or removing the privacy tones (CTCSS & DCS); or changing the power level. You no longer have to delete and recreate the channel over simple channel modifications. |
Scan a Frequency RangeScanning in frequency mode, just became practical! Exclusively on the BTECH UV‑5X3: You are able to scan through a specific frequency range. Scanning frequencies before the UV‑5X3 required the user to scan the full frequency band they were using. This was not practical if you only wanted to watch for activity on a particular section of the band (such as only 222-225MHz in the above pictured example). The UV‑5X3 will scan at the frequency step you select in menu, which allows you to scan by increments from 2.5 to 50KHz. You can now scan through a fine tuned portion of the receiving band without having to wait and scan the whole band! |
