Handheld Deluxe VHF/UHF Dualband Amateur Radio 2M/440 Transceiver with Twin Display 5W TYT TH-UVF1

I purchased the TYT UVF1 FM Transceiver about 45 days ago. I am new to amateur radio so I didn't want to spend $400 for a dual-band HT. The UVF1 performs well and for the money it is an excellent buy. I have been getting good signal reports on most repeaters in the area.

Pros-

The price is awesome.

Dual-band and Dual display.

Comes with cable and software

Easy to switch between programmed channels and ad-hoc frequency entry.

You can listen to any frequency from 87-108Mhz FM Broadcast

Receives 136-174Mhz & 390-520Mhz.

Transmits 144-148Mhz & 430-450Mhz. 5W/4W output w/1W low setting.

Drop-in Charger.

Cons-

You will need the cable and software to get to all the options.

The software is pretty flaky. It crashes if you try to copy and paste, so don't try it without saving your configuration so far.

The manual is... well, not wonderful. Some of the features are not explained, just on or off.

All in all... This is an inexpensive entry radio that performs very well.

I am keeping mine.

This radio is decent for the price. Gets out to repeaters 15-20 miles away. Reception is decent too. I am pleased with the quality. I do have problems using the software on windows 7 machines, however it works good on xp. Programming is easy with the software. The radio can be manually programmed fairly easily. Not as easy as the software, but not as bad as I read in some reviews. I would buy again. Purchased for backup and portability.

I had purchased this radio as a gift for a friend of mine who was new to amateur radio. She was unfamiliar with handheld radios. The radio is not a true dual band. It can switch between both bands however they must be on the same transmit & receive channels to talk. Programming is rather difficult however the speech does confirm each key as it is pressed I think the software and cable would be a great help for programming faster and more accurately . The manual is very difficult to understand however if you are familiar with other handhelds it can be figured out. That is why I have ordered the software and cable for her to assist in the programming. Overall for the value the radio works well and as claimed, we have been able to hit the local repeaters with no problems. The delivery was extremely fast and the seller has been excellent in helping out with the radio. The radio is a good value for the money and fast service.

Cant beat the price. More than I expected. I was told it would be hard to program with out the soft ware but its not. Buy it and take the time to look around on the net for tips, its well worth your time. I have the compatible Baofeng (that I love) but this is much easier to program with out the soft ware. No harder than an Icom or Alinco. Just don't expect the manual to tell you too much.
