Advantages of UV-6R
Speaker:
The UV-6R is with a 16 ohm high-impedance speaker. The sound is more sonorous by comparing with the other 8 ohm speaker which will help with the voice launch and transmission.
Flashlight:
The UV-6R has the straw LED lamp which is relatively higher lumens than ordinary LED in UV-5R. The high brightness straw LED lights provide a brighter and further range for alarming or illuminating than the UV-5R.
Antenna:
The UV-6R has a 15cm antenna which is 3cm longer than the UV-5R’s 12cm antenna. Increasing the length enables the UV-6R to perform better in sending and receiving radio wave and signals than UV-5R. In addition, the antenna material of UV-6R is multiple solid steel wire winding copper plating which is of higher efficiency compared to the UV-5R hollow wire in transmission and reception.
Battery:
The UV-6R is continuing using the BL-5 batteries, except that the UV-5R need to push and removal the battery from the top of radio and the UV-6R has a new design clip-on removal in the bottom of the radio. The new design is more convenient for the users and preventing the battery fall out by inadvertently operate. Also, there is non-slip design for the back of the battery shell which making it more convenient to use.
