Review on BTECH Mini UV 25X2 Mobile Radio by Julian Davidson

Bought a QYT KT-8900D and found myself having to deal with firmware issues like resetting the C and D channel displays to defaults couldn't live with a malfunction. This and other problems have been solved with the BTECH UV-25X2. I returned the KT-8900 and have never looked back. The radio works as expected, there are instructions in English. I have not experienced desensitization in my semi-rural location. Using a mag mount antenna (Browning WSPBR10353 5/8 NMO Mount Magnet + TRAM 140MHz-170MHz + 430MHz-470MHz Dual Band NMO Antenna) on a truck I got good signal reports when using local repeaters. 200 memories is enough for all my local repeaters plus a few for travel destinations and NOAA weather stations. Easily program with CHIRP or manually for a new repeater or to change a setting like the PL tone. IMHO, well worth the extra bucks for a working radio.
