Review on BTECH Mini UV 25X2 Mobile Radio by Marcus Braunstein

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great Radio - CB and Two Way Radios

Initial Positive Feedback. It is small and easy to install in a small car. The sound is pretty loud. It delivers full power (25W) as expected. The microphone is of typical Chinese quality and can only be retrofitted (the transmitted sound sounds like speaking through a paper towel tube). Consumes a maximum of 8 amps. The screen isn't as bright as we'd like, but there's a setting to tweak it. Unfortunately, no programming cable is included. Be sure to order! Someone asked about the fan. It turns on during long transmissions but makes no noise. I personally think it's possible to avoid turning off the fan if you use the radio in an air conditioned environment and limit the airtime to one minute. However, you experiment at your own risk. Even after a few minutes of broadcasting at full power, the case was only warm. It has never been hot. A fan would be required if you use the radio in a hot car or in a warm environment.
