Long story short, in spite of many suggestions for other brands, I like this radio so much I ordered a second one and the first one will continue to be my base station. They are easy to program and have more features than I currently use or plan to use in the foreseeable future other than dual purpose as a repeater, but that feature is only available in much more expensive models. Review: Works great, great radio for the money - This is a very good radio, coming from only using handheld radio’s to this was a game changer. There was a big difference in microphone sound clarity compared to the basic uv5r handheld. So your voice comes out very clear over the radio. The other thing I appreciated with this radio was the power output, I have very good range with this system it’s kinda like If you can see it, you can talk to it. The speaker built into the radio can be turned up pretty loud, but it may not be quite enough for some off-road uses. The only real thing I worry about with this radio is the microphone connector, it’s a little In the way of the volume knob and I can see it getting damaged if the cord gets pulled on. But it Hasn’t happened yet. Anyhow, I’d definitely recommend this unit for anyone who wants a decent mobile unit for there cars, trucks and off roaders. Just be careful with water/ moisture as I don’t think it’s waterproof. ## Features - The UV-50X2 has been upgraded with Audio I/O support through the RJ45 Microphone Port. Included is also a K1 Audio adaptor. The K1 accessory jack is the most common radio accessory jack in the market. This means the UV-50X2 has the widest support of aftermarket audio accessories allowing you to find the best accessories for however you use your radio. - The UV-50X2 includes all of the necessary mounting hardware to easily wire into any vehicle.

Mobile 50 Watt Dual Band Base, Mobile Radio: VHF, UHF Amateur (Ham) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/817tFcJXXVL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this be useful for the zombie apocalypse?** A: The plot line of The Walking Dead would have been massively different (with sweet victory in short time) if the humans had been using UV-50X2s... 😜 **Q: Can this be tapped into the 12v rail of a pc power supply (like i do with my lipo charger for rc batteries) or does it need a standalone 13.8v supply?** A: In my tests the unit drew a peak of 10A @ 12.6v = 126 Watts. All PC power supply 12v rails since the 90's are rated for 10A and newer PSU's from the last 10 years are all rated at 28A. So yes any PC power supply 12v rail would easily power this. Really my only question or concern is, if this is only a 60W output radio, why is it drawing twice that? **Q: Can this radio be programed with a MAC computer.** A: Yes, with Chrip. For mac. **Q: Can this radio tx at 151.xxx and up?** A: The older units for sure could transmit outside of amature bands. MURS and GMRS was no problem. The FCC cracked down on these types of radios and demanded they be brought into compliance so depending on age it might. I've had mine for 2 years and it isn't restricted. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great radio, fair price *by D***D on May 8, 2026* I purchased one of these back in February of 2025 with intention of putting it in my car, but it got diverted to Base Station duty with an Opek 300 base antenna.

These are great radios for just a little while. Hooked it up to a power meter and was actually putting out 60W. I really think the reason these radios blow out and smoke is because the parts used internally are cheap or the internal design is just crap. I think if I used either of my 2 previous radios indoor ONLY and not subject them to outdoor temperatures, they would still be working. I live in the Midwest where the mornings can be chilly, these radios were installed in my Jeep. In both instances where the radios smoked, I got into the Jeep in the very early morning. The overnight temps were about 29 degrees. The internal temp of the car was below freezing when driving to work. Each time, while driving to work, I tried to key up on my local repeater. I think the final amplifier heated up so quickly, it burned out the radio. The first time my radio burned out, it burned out my final UHF amplifier, leaving me with only the pre-amp working. I went from pushing 60W to putting out only 5 watts. My receiver worked ok. The second radio I had, it was the same conditions, and this time the whole radio smoked and filled my jeep with smoke. I guess, if you took your radio in the house with you every night and kept it temp controlled, it would work. My vswr was also very good. I was getting 1.2:1 which is outstanding. The radios checked I got, people said I was 5:9. ## Frequently Bought Together - BTECH UV-50X2 (Second Gen.)
