I HEARD RICK ( N4JTQ ) TALKING ABOUT THE BAOFENG UV-32 SO I ORDERED ONE RIGHT AWAY. I GOT IT A FEW DAYS AGO AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING FUN PROGRAMMING IT AND THOUGHT FOLKS MIGHT ENJOY MY POWER LEVEL TEST RESULTS.
I COULD NOT SQUEEZE 10 WATTS OUT OF IT THOUGH. I AM IMPRESSED WITH 8 WATTS ON UHF WHICH SURPRISED ME.
OUTPUT POWER ON THE UV-5 MINI ON THE LEFT IN THE PHOTO WAS TESTED AT THE SAME TIME AND WAS 4.5 WATTS ON VHF AND 4.25 WATTS ON UHF .
WHAT'S YOUR THOUGTS ?
IS BIGGER REALLY BETTER OR NOT ?
IS 8 WATTS APPROACHING SAFETY ISSUES ?
WOULD 10 WATTS CONCERN YOU ?
WHAT POWER WOULD YOU NOT USE WITH AN HT
SOME LIKE SMALLER RADIOS SOME DO NOT ?
THERE IS A 3800 MA BATTERY WHITCH ADDS SIZE AND WEIGHT . IS THAT A PROBLEM FOR YOU ?
BATTERY TERMINALS ON THE FRONT ?
IF THAT DOESN'T BOTHER YOU THEN WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE SPEAKER ON THE BACK ?
ON A DIFFERENT NOTE
WHAT WATT METER DO YOU USE IN YOUR SHACK ?
WHAT HAVE YOU FOUND TO BE A GOOD WATT METER AT A REASONABLE PRICE POINT ?
