BTECH UV-5X3: Engineered for Superior Performance and Resilience
Familiar Case, but a Fully Upgraded Radio
When selecting a radio for your communication needs, you deserve a product that offers not just basic features but advanced capabilities, robust construction, and premium performance. BTECH's UV-5X3 stands out as a perfect embodiment of this principle.
Don't be fooled by its familiar exterior; we've significantly updated and upgraded the UV-5X3 while maintaining full backward accessory compatibility. We believe in progress, but not at the expense of convenience and value.
Tailored for Amateur Bands
Unlike many radios that aim for 'general-purpose' performance, the UV-5X3 is specifically fine-tuned for optimal performance in amateur bands. This translates into superior reception and transmission quality, ensuring that your voice is clearly heard and messages received with unrivaled clarity.
Future-Focused Charging
The UV-5X3 utilizes a USB-C rechargeable battery, a standard that's quickly becoming the norm. This universal compatibility allows you to charge your device from multiple sources, bypassing the need for specific cables or adapters.
IP54 Weather Resistant
Snow, rain, or shine you can feel free to use your UV-5X3 radio no matter what the weather conditions are. The UV-5X3 is weather resistant and splash proof.
Unmatched Tri-Band Versatility
A step above the average dual-band radios, the UV-5X3 brings the game-changing advantage of tri-band functionality. It operates on VHF, 1.25M, and UHF frequencies, offering an extended range of communication possibilities. This broader spectrum allows you to connect over different frequency bands, ensuring clear and robust signals in a variety of scenarios. Whether you're coordinating with a team during emergency responses, tuning into local weather stations, or simply keeping in touch with fellow amateur enthusiasts, the UV-5X3's tri-band versatility ensures reliable and flexible communication. This is not just a feature; it's a significant upgrade that empowers you to communicate more efficiently and effectively.
BTECH BL-5 USB-C Charging
The BL-5 battery now includes USB-C charging, providing users with greater flexibility and convenience in powering their devices. With this feature, you can charge the battery directly using a USB-C cable, or you can still use the CH-5 desktop charger if you prefer.
The USB-C charging feature makes it easy to charge your BL-5 battery on the go, using a power bank or a laptop with a USB-C port. This means you no longer have to rely on the CH-5 desktop charger, which may not always be available or convenient to use.
Revolutionary Remote Capabilities
The BTECH UV-5X3 sets itself apart with a set of remote functions designed to give you total control over your communication devices, even at a distance. With the Stun and Kill functions, you can remotely disable a radio - a crucial feature in managing potential security situations. Need to re-enable a stunned radio? The Revive function brings it back to life with a simple command.
Moreover, the Inspect function adds another layer of control to your operations. By sending a simple command, you can confirm if a radio is within your range as it replies with a confirmation tone. Not only does this facilitate seamless coordination, but it also assists in ensuring all your team members are within communication boundaries.
Finally, the Monitor function can be remotely activated to silently monitor the environment around the radio. This feature is especially beneficial in situations where stealth or silent observation is necessary.
Scan a Frequency Range
Scanning 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!
To transmit on this radio requires a Amateur Radio or HAM License. It usually costs $50 for registration and testing.
