The UV-25 is a handheld two-way radio that transmits on dual bands, UHF and VHF. It receives UHF, VHF, AM, FM, NOAA and Airband. It has three selectable power levels, a 5200mAh battery and Type-C charging. It comes with two antennas, a gooseneck antenna and a tactical antenna.
Large keys and a friction-enhanced knob make it easy to operate. An LED flashlight is built in. The DTMF function is activated directly from the keypad, with no CPS needed.
The one-key frequency copy function works by holding the [SK1] button near the radio you want to scan. When that radio transmits, the UV-25 shows its frequency (±2.5 PPM) and its CTCSS or DCS tones, or "NONE" if there are none. The battery can also be charged separately.
