[Heathkit] * Off topic* Attack on VHF and UHF

Thu Apr 26 15:30:08 EDT 2012

I haven't use the 3r but I have the uv-5r and it has full functionality for operating duplex (splits). I have a couple of dozen repeaters programmed into mine and it works fine.

Programming is a pain (easier with computer cable and software), but once you get the hang of it, no problem.

It also handles CTCSS tones, etc.

Since it has tones I have to believe it will do repeaters.

Sorry for dumb question but does anyone know (or care) if the UV-3R or -5R
is programmable for split freq repeaters? The specs say its programmable but
it's not clear (to me) that *splits* can be programmed in.
Anyone?

Get the uv-5r instead.

More power and less than $10 more.

Actually Mike, the credit is all Ian's KD6SE. If it had not been for your
post, We never would have known about  this. It's better than when Radio
Shack closed out the popular HTX-420 & sold em all at a fraction of retail.

UV-3R Very affordable little package .   http://tinyurl.com/6p2bbt6
I'm ordering 2 today from another supplier..... Think I'll go with the
camouflage color.
Great for the whole family to have in case of emergency to monitor police ,
fire  , weather and FM broadcast as well as the local ham repeaters plus a
built in flashlight all for under 50 bucks. And If you have a license ( easy
to get) you get a cool 2 watts of transmit power whick will hit repeaters up
to 50 miles away. The UV-3R radio has some big brothers too for sale and a
Yahoo group  with great reviews .Google it. or Ebay it.

Thanks to Ian  KD6SE
