BaofengTech has released a model called the UV-5X3
, which is a Triband HT, including the 220MHz band. Let’s take a look at this radio, see how to program it, and hear some on-air QSOs
WHAT’S DIFFERENT FROM THE BF-F8HP AND UV-5R?

On-the-Go Selectable Frequency Range Scanning

Full Accessory Compatibility with ALL UV-5R and BF-F8HP accessories
A new 85 Page In-Depth User’s Guide
It includes both the High Gain V-85 Dual Band Antenna and a 220MHz andtenna (specifically tuned to 222-225MHz) to Optimize Performance
Tri-Band Radio: 130-179.99mhz (VHF), 222-225.99mhz (1.25M), 400-520.99mhz (UHF)
Frequency Scanning: When scanning in the Frequency (VFO) Mode, you can easily enter in the range and frequency steps that you want to scan without scanning the full frequency band.
The UV-5X3 can even send DTMF tones. This allows for sending ANI (Caller ID) or remote commands that require DTMF tones; or it can receive incoming DTMF tones to allow for remote stun, kill, revive, monitor, and inspection commands.
